Job Details

Riot’s People team exists to help Riot make the best decisions about its talent. We bring our expertise to all areas of Human Resources including hiring, onboarding, learning and development, diversity and inclusion, performance management, benefits, perks, compensation, employee relations and off-boarding so that all Rioters can flourish.

We view ourselves as trusted consultants and advisers with a specific expertise in all things HR. Working in People at Riot enables you to redefine what effective HR practices are. As HR Business Partners, we are not a compliance function. Instead, we carefully listen to the problem spaces and work with Rioters to get to an optimal outcome. We re-imagine the employee experience so it resonates with our workforce and our leaders and enables them to flourish.

As an HR Business Partner II supporting Riot’s Publishing teams, you’ll report to the Director, HR Business Partner and play a key role in translating business needs into impactful people solutions. You’ll be the go-to resource for all things talent—from performance management to total rewards—while also driving alignment across global teams. You’re comfortable engaging at all levels, from individual contributors to senior leaders, ensuring the right conversations happen at the right time.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop a deep understanding of the business, maintaining close relationships with Publishing leaders and Rioters in assigned client groups to drive talent strategies that align with both immediate and long-term goals.
  • Partner with managers and fellow HRBPs to work alongside Publishing to consult on organizational design, promotions, succession planning, talent assessment, and change management.
  • Partner with Centers of Excellence to design and implement people programs for your client groups, including performance management, compensation, and learning & development.
  • Act as the local expert on people programs and cyclical initiatives, including annual compensation and continual performance management.  
  • Serve as the first point of contact for Publishing teams on employee relations issues, leave of absence and accommodation-related questions, partnering with HR Operations, Benefits and Rioter Relations teams to provide guidance to Rioters and managers.
  • Ensure data integrity by conducting periodic audits of HR systems to maintain accuracy, manage transfers and product moves to ensure alignment across partners (immigration, relocation, compensation, legal, benefits, and payroll).
  • Conduct exit interviews and analyze engagement surveys and other Rioter feedback to spot  trends, surfacing insights to leadership to inform retention and engagement strategies.

Required Qualifications: 

  • 4+ years of experience in an HR generalist, business partner, or specialist role with a track record of progression.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Organizational Design, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
  • Strong interpersonal, relationship-building, and consulting skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
  • Experience supporting diverse and global communities in a fast-paced environment.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting publishing, entertainment, or creative teams within gaming, media, or a related industry.
  • Experience supporting vendor and contractor workforces.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and choices that focus on your fellow Rioters, who are the customers of your work. Being a dedicated fan of games is not necessary for this position!

 

Our Perks:

Riot has a focus on work/life balance, shown by our open paid time off policy, in addition to other perks such as flexible work schedules. We offer medical, dental, and life insurance, parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner and children, and a 401k with company match. Check out our benefits pages for more information.

At Riot Games, we put players first. That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player. Whether you’re working directly on a new player-facing experience or you’re supporting the company as a whole, everyone at Riot is part of our mission. And just like in our games, we’re better when we work together. Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’re looking forward to your application.

 

It’s our policy to provide equal employment opportunity for all applicants and members of Riot Games, Inc. Riot Games makes reasonable accommodations for handicapped and disabled Rioters and does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, handicap, veteran status, marital status, criminal history, or any other category protected by applicable federal and state law. We consider for employment all qualified applicants, including those with criminal histories, in a manner consistent with applicable federal, state and local law, including the California Fair Chance Act, the City of Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, and the Washington Fair Chance Act.

Per the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance, the following core duties may create a basis for disqualifying candidates with relevant criminal histories:

  • Safeguarding confidential and sensitive Company data
  • Communication with others, including Rioters and third parties such as vendors, and/or players, including minors
  • Accessing Company assets, secure digital systems, and networks
  • Ensuring a safe interactive environment for players and other Rioters

These duties are directly related to essential operations, safety, trust, and compliance obligations within our organization.
