Job Details

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 a Business Operations Manager, China Studio, you will support and manage the daily operations in various categories—from supporting the development and day-to-day operations of China Studio to managing and collaborating with our partners internally and externally. You will also provide market analysis and generate insights to support senior leadership strategic decisions. Based in Shenzhen or Shanghai, you will join a tight-knit group of exceptionally bright-minded individuals who prioritize player experience, challenge conventions, and share a passion for gaming. 

Responsibilities:

  • Based on studio business needs, propose and implement studio day-to-day operation processes, and project-manage studio key initiatives
  • Support the daily management of studio leadership on studio budget planning and resource allocation
  • Explore methods and tools to increase the studio operation efficiency
  • Continuously strive to understand our players, closely monitor and analyze market trends, and develop strategies that will benefit game development and studio growth
  • Communicate and collaborate with internal cross-functional teams and external partners to support Riot China studio development and the publishing of Riot China studio developed games

Required Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's degree
  • Passion for video games and deep understanding of the Riot games and ecosystem is a MUST
  • Fluent in both English and Mandarin, with the ability to collaborate across languages and cultures is a MUST
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, knowing how to navigate situations to best resolve differences and win concessions, and managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Experience in studio operation management or project management
  • Proficiency in market and data analysis
  • Ability to handle multiple tasks 

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience in managing or supporting the management of partnerships in gaming, esports, media, entertainment, or relevant industries is preferred

Don’t forget to include a resume and cover letter. We receive a lot of applications, but we’ll notice a fun, well-written intro that shows us you take play seriously.

*This role is primarily based in Shanghai, with an additional location in Shenzhen. Candidates based in Shenzhen should expect frequent travel to Shanghai.
