PR Manager, France - Publishing

Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result into genre-defining games. Back in 2009, that vision gave birth to our debut title League of Legends , which achieved critical acclaim among players and became the most played PC game in the world. We are honored to serve over 100 million players worldwide every month.

To support our growth and nurture our relationship with our french player s, we need additional top-tier professionals at Riot Paris. That’s where you come in.

We are looking for a humble, ambitious and broad-thinking PR expert who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Just like us, you are passionate about games and take play seriously.

As PR Manager for France, you’ll lead the French public relations efforts for League of Legends, our Esports activities, and Riot itself while working with external PR agencies and media. You’ll develop relationships with print and digital media outlets, both enthusiast and mainstream, and create and execute successful PR strategies that’ll help delight players of all ages and levels in France! To do this, you’ll use your education, PR XP in gaming, affinity for League of Legends, and no-BS communication skills to craft stories that connect with current and future players.

As a Paris Rioter, you'll join a smaller but dedicated team of Rioters committed to be the most player-focused game company in the world. You'll share our prioritization of player experience, rejection of convention and incredible passion for gaming.

• Data driven : you have strong affinity for metrics and reporting ; you know how to plan and report campaign performance and sentiment.
