Additional Information
As an Influencer Manager II , you will join an Unpublished R&D game team to help identify, support, and scale our launch creator roster that will spark growth and shape an emerging culture for a new product. Launching a new game from Riot means architecting an aspirational creator economy from scratch that rewards those who participate and inspires others to get on stage to perform.
You think in terms of who - and what - will be influential in our player's lives, as well as generating the most entertaining content. You will anticipate where the next cultural shifts will happen-from emerging platforms to novel participation formats-and ideate on reward systems that drive engagement and innovation. You will maintain tight feedback loops with influencers to ensure we build a "stand out" culture where play of all kinds choose to play and create content because it is both aspirational and beneficial to their careers.
You are comfortable building in ambiguous spaces and wearing many hats on a small, cross-functional team.
