Publishing Lead - Unpublished R&D Product

In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends and has since gone on to become the most played PC game in the world and a key driver of the dramatic growth of esports. Publishing’s role is to introduce our products to players and form authentic relationships with them through compelling storytelling.

Brand team members at Riot are most focused on contributing to creative work centered around ‘showing’ vs. ‘telling’. We look for brand lovers who can grow our business, think about brand marketing in new ways, dream big and help to create epic content. Our culture thrives by embracing diversity and rewarding imagination. A brand manager at Riot will be comfortable working with new media and social more than traditional formats.

As a Publishing Lead, you'll develop strategies that focus on finding and attracting the next generation of players to our games. You'll lead a cross-functional marketing team that includes the sub-disciplines of brand, performance marketing, creative, comms, art, digital marketing and owned, paid & earned media. You'll also manage a team of hardworking and diverse marketing and communications pros by developing their skills as well as driving the objectives and strategies they will work towards.

You are eager to design campaigns that genuinely engage players, as well as inspire them to dive into our products.

Required Qualifications:
