Blizzard Entertainment

Sr Recruiting Manager, Business Operations

Publishing and managing the business of Blizzard’s games is incredibly fun and rewarding. It is also an incredibly complex and massive business: multiple countries, multiple platforms, multiple business models, and this complexity grows by the day.

We’re looking for a recruiting manager who truly appreciates the role business operations plays in gaming. Blizzard is, in many respects, several studios in one. We develop our own games, and we publish them. Our in-house cinematics team is the size of a mid-level animation studio. We built and maintain our own gaming platform, Battle.net, which serves millions of players around the world. None of this would be possible without the support and partnership from the wide variety of passionate and talented business operations teams throughout the company.
