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.

The Insights discipline helps empower Rioters' decision-making to be more data-informed. We're an interdisciplinary group of scientists, consultants, and strategists from all sorts of backgrounds who join together to represent and advocate for players around the world.

The Insights team supports products through their entire lifecycle: from opportunity identification, product development, and post launch performance. This role emphasizes an analyst and researcher skillset as you will function as the craft lead for both. You’ll serve as a critical advisor for Wild Rift’s leadership team and ensure Insights is well-positioned to advise and support them. You will report directly to the Executive Producer of Wild Rift.
