Principal Technical Program Managers at Riot lead passionate, cross-functional teams to achieve player value through the delivery of large programs that are aligned with Riot's strategic priorities. As a Principal Technical Program Manager in Riot’s Technology Department, you will report directly to the Senior Director of Program Management and lead high-impact programs that span across Riot’s platform, game, and product teams. You bring deep expertise in large-scale program management and agile methodologies, along with exceptional stakeholder management skills.
You have a strong technical foundation, proven experience driving complex initiatives, and the ability to lead cross-functional teams composed of both technical and creative disciplines. You are action-oriented, highly organized, and an effective communicator—able to tailor your message across executive, technical, business, and partner audiences. In this role, you will define and drive implementation strategies, set technical direction in collaboration with engineering leads, and establish the program frameworks and processes necessary to achieve the strategic goals of your initiatives.
For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise and collaboration that prioritizes your fellow Rioters, who are the customers of your work. Being a dedicated fan of games is not necessary for this position!
