We are seeking a leader who is deeply aligned with our product vision and excels at resolving any misalignment. You will collaboratively shape and impact all craft decisions within your team, ensuring the delivery of high-value results for both players and colleagues. As an accountable team leader, you are responsible for your team's deliverables and artistic quality, and you will partner with other disciplines to develop effective delivery methods.
Effective communication is key in this role; you will ensure stakeholders and team members are well-informed and handle difficult conversations with empathy. You will build and maintain highly functional teams aligned with Riot's culture.
You are adept at recognizing and addressing team health issues promptly, maintaining high performance standards, and coaching team members to meet expectations. You will handle conflicts calmly and compassionately, ensuring that no issues go unaddressed and that alignment across disciplines and initiatives is maintained.
Responsibilities
Working closely with Riot teams globally, Riot Sydney is a powerhouse of talent, and experts in global development. Our team works on VALORANT, League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, alongside exciting R&D and Tech projects.
If you believe that the Player Experience comes first, we want to hear from you. Our players are a diverse group from different backgrounds, and we want to see that reflected in the people who make our games, all qualified applicants will be considered for employment
Our Perks
At Riot, we strongly believe in work/life balance, and we encourage that with our open paid time off policy, paid parental leave (for both primary and secondary carers) and flexible work schedules to fit your lifestyle.
We also believe that work should be fun. We have a LAN gaming room, the latest consoles, a play fund so you can broaden and deepen your knowledge of our players and community, and all the snacks you would ever need to power through your day (even healthy snacks!).
