Senior Game Product Manager, Monetization, VALORANT Mobile

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.

As Senior Game Product Manager, Monetization on the VALORANT Mobile team, you'll help shape how players experience and engage with the game’s reward and monetization systems. You'll be the driving force behind patch-level reward design, pacing, and strategy—ensuring that both free and paid offerings feel intentional, compelling, and deeply player-focused.

This role is about bringing cohesion to the player's journey. You'll focus on making our progression and reward systems feel seamless and meaningful, helping players engage with the game in a way that feels rewarding while staying true to VALORANT’s high-stakes, competitive core. Working across disciplines and geos, you’ll bring together publishing beats, reward systems, and content delivery into a unified, elevated player experience.

As a Rioter in China, you'll join a team of culturally diverse professionals who share a passion for games and a commitment to putting players first. To support Riot’s collaborative culture in our China offices, we operate without traditional hierarchical titles. What matters here is ownership, autonomy, and impact—not what’s printed on your badge.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and lead the patch-level reward and monetization strategy, including features, content scope, and overall reward experience across both free and premium offerings.
• Collaborate with development and publishing teams to ensure reward plans reflect key market beats and seasonal events.
• Partner closely with art and production teams to uphold a high bar of content quality—ensuring that cosmetics and accessories feel industry-leading and deeply resonant with our players.
• Build alignment across regional publishing stakeholders to ensure rewards meet the expectations of local players and markets.
• Drive a metrics-informed approach to live operations, analyzing player behavior and revenue data to refine strategies and maximize player engagement and satisfaction.

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum of 6 years of experience in game product management or game development, with a strong focus on live service monetization and player engagement systems.
• Proven success in building and launching monetization features or systems that have positively impacted player experience and business outcomes.
• Experience working closely with publishing teams, developers, and content creators to deliver cross-functional projects.
• Deep understanding of cosmetics and personalization systems in live mobile or competitive games.
• Strong data literacy and experience in developing KPI frameworks to measure content performance and player satisfaction.
• Bilingual: fluent in Mandarin, proficient in English.

Desired Qualifications:

• Passionate about tactical shooters, competitive multiplayer experiences, and mobile gaming.
• Experience operating in high-ambiguity environments and delivering player-facing features in fast-paced live ops settings.
• A strong sense of visual and experiential quality—able to recognize what “great” looks like for player-facing content.
• Prior exposure to regional publishing dynamics across China or overseas markets.

Don’t forget to include a resume and cover letter. We receive a lot of applications, but we’ll notice a fun, well-written intro that shows us you take play seriously.

Our Perks:

Riot focuses on work/life balance, shown by our open paid time off policy and other perks such as flexible work schedules. We offer medical, dental, and life insurance, parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children, and a 401k with company match. Check out our benefits pages for more information.

At Riot Games, we put players first. That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player. Whether you’re working directly on a new player-facing experience or you’re supporting the company as a whole, everyone at Riot is part of our mission. And just like in our games, we’re better when we work together. Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’re looking forward to your application.
