  • Extensive experience working in a global video game or entertainment company, with a strong understanding of the Wild Rift player base and community.
  • Deep understanding of cultural nuances and regional market trends, with the ability to advocate for local needs in global decision-making.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects or initiatives simultaneously, ensuring alignment with global goals, timelines, and budget constraints.
