The last 12 months have been amazing for esports at Riot. We held our most-watched League of Legends Worlds championship, and we ran our first global tournaments for VALORANT, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra. On the back of that success, and in our ever-growing focus on our mission to be the most player-focused company in the world, Riot is doubling down on our investment in the esports and fan experience.

The Esports Tech department is a multi-product organization responsible for all software R&D for Riot's Global Esports pillar. This includes tools and platforms for broadcast (Project Stryker), our esports web properties (lolesports.com and valorantesport.com), our advertising platform (e.g. in-game banners) and our player engagement tools such as Pick-em and Drops. Based on the massive and growing success of LoL and VALORANT Esports, Riot is betting big in two important areas: Unleashing Fandom, and Reinventing the Watch Experience. You can read more about that in our CEO's blog, "Calling the shot: the Next Five Years at Riot Games" and part of that bet is investing in growing the Esports Tech R&D organization.

At Riot we believe in servant leadership, and as the Director of Production you will work with the production leads from each of the products to identify opportunities to assist them as they develop work systems, manage team health, manage project deliverables, and scale out their organizations. As the Director of Production, you will help build new capabilities and systems. For example, building our QA strategy & organization across our products. You will also need to identify opportunities to create cross-organization work systems that allow us to achieve economies of scale, share practices, and work better together.

You will report to the Head of Technology for Riot Global Esports.
