Additional Information
UX Designers at Riot work in complex, high-scope product areas. This means handling end-to-end experience design for features that span multiple teams, working collaboratively from initial concept through development. While this is a leadership role, our design managers contribute individually as well, so you will have ample opportunity to keep your own craft sharp.
As the UX Director on Teamfight Tactics (TFT), you will manage, mentor, and guide the UX designers on the project, ensuring they grow in their careers and deliver their best work toward the team's goals. You'll report to the Design Director, helping to shape the long-term interactive vision and flow for the game, and translating the product strategy into clear UX goals and priorities.
