Esports Marketing Manager, VALORANT and League of Legends, SEA (Contractor)

Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As an Esports Marketing Manager (Contractor) , you will drive our marketing campaigns, content production, PR, branding, off-line events and community efforts for VALORANT, Wild Rift and LOL esports across SEA.

You are eager to design marketing campaigns that genuinely engage fans and inspire them to dive into Esports. You spell team with 'we.’

As a contractor in Singapore, you’ll join a tight knit group of exceptionally bright minded individuals who share our prioritization of player experience, rejection of convention, and passion for gaming.
