Influencer Manager, Valorant, Eastern Europe

Job Description

As Influencer Manager, you'll lead our efforts to inspire and activate Eastern European players across all Riot games by building and growing relationships with passionate local creators and their audiences. You will primarily focus on our first-person hero shooter VALORANT.

As a Berlin-Mitte Rioter, you'll join a small and dedicated team of Rioters committed to striving to be the most player-focused gaming company in the world. You will report directly to the Head of Publishing Poland & Eastern Europe. You'll share our prioritisation of player experience, rejection of convention and maniacal passion for gaming. Eastern Europe needs a publishing revolution: you will achieve unique player experiences that show regional players they aren't lost in translation.

Responsibilities:
• Help build and shape future program strategies for the Polish and Eastern European streamers, content producers, prominent community members and other creative partners
• Build and improve our partnerships strategy; coordinate and support content creators to build successful campaigns
• Design inclusive strategies that focus on elevating the work our community creates; provide them with resources; and identify new opportunities in the space
• Consult with teams across Riot, developing standard methodologies for working with the creative community, and help add tangible value for players, content creators, and Riot

Required Qualifications:
• You are connected with a ton of amazing creators, and have dozens of ideas on how to help level-up their craft. You spend a huge chunk of your time on Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram
• You have at least 3 years' working with communities and empowering creators in a professional role. You've built and accomplished creator partnerships in the gaming or entertainment space as part of a larger campaign
• You have worked with an advertising agency, internal brand team, or PR firm to craft the perfect creator initiative
• Each decision/contact/call you make is part of a larger plan to grow the business. You've worked out how to measure and attribute your creators' success before you fire up Discord to start lining up your latest pitch
• When things are blazing all around you, you can assess and move towards practical goals vs being pulled in a bunch of different directions
• You're not comfortable waiting for other people to guide you
• You understand the titles that Eastern European gamers play. This understanding not only translates to playing games, but the communities that love them as well

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise and a collaborative spirit that prioritizes the delight of players. We will look at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!
