The posting, in Riot Games's own words
archived Sep 10, 2026Riot 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.
The Role
As a Product Manager focused on Meta Systems for VALORANT Mobile, you will help shape the out-of-match experience that supports players before, between, and after every tactical fight. You will work on player-facing systems including, but not limited to, progression, social features, asset display, party-up experience, player identity, and other systems that deepen long-term engagement. Your goal is to ensure VALORANT Mobile does not only feel great in the round, but also gives players meaningful reasons to return, connect, express themselves, and grow over time. This role requires strong player empathy, structured product thinking, and the ability to translate ambiguous player needs into clear product direction. You will partner closely with Quantum Studio, our co-development partner, as well as Riot VALORANT teams, designers, engineers, publishing stakeholders, and other Riot partners to define feature goals, review implementation quality, and continuously improve the player experience through data, research, and product intuition. 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:
Drive the product direction and execution support for VALORANT Mobile meta systems, including progression, social, party-up, asset display, player identity, and other out-of-match player experiences. Partner closely with Quantum Studio to define product goals, feature requirements, user flows, experience principles, and acceptance criteria for new and existing meta system features. Review and refine Quantum Studio’s feature implementation throughout the development cycle, ensuring the final player experience is intuitive, polished, and aligned with VALORANT’s product quality bar. Use player behavior data, research insights, competitive references, and product intuition to identify opportunities that improve engagement, retention, social connection, and long-term player motivation. Collaborate with Riot VALORANT teams, publishing stakeholders, and other product owners to ensure meta system direction aligns with broader VALORANT product principles, version planning, live operations, and player needs. Support the planning and prioritization of meta system improvements across patches, balancing player impact, development cost, business goals, and delivery timelines. Act as the voice of VALORANT Mobile players in the meta system space, ensuring features serve both core tactical shooter players and broader mobile audiences. Monitor post-launch feature performance and player feedback, then build actionable optimization plans with Quantum Studio and relevant Riot stakeholders for future iterations. Contribute to cross-functional discussions on how meta systems connect with gameplay, monetization, content, social, and live service strategies.
