Director of Publishing Content and Community Strategy - VALORANT Job at Riot Gam

As Editor-in-Chief for VALORANT you’ll be architecting how we show up to players across the broader ecosystem, in our owned and unowned channels, shaping the stories we tell, how we tell them, and where. The modern Editor-in-Chief’s front page is everywhere our players are, and often, outside of Riot channels. We need to meet players where they’re at.

This role is about setting the story for the game and the team, knowing what players care about before it hits critical mass, and steering both proactive messaging and reactive responses. Youll be responsible for communicating to players and building the long-term trust that keeps our community engaged and inspired; setting the narrative across the entire player experience, from proactive tentpole storytelling to reactive community engagement, spanning dev comms, content, influencers, social, and community.

You’ll lead a high-functioning, cross-disciplinary community and comms unit, one that champions our players internally and delivers comms that hit and build long-term trust.

What you’ll do :

Drive the Player Narrative

• Own the day-to-day narrative for VALORANT, both proactively and reactively. What should players believe about our game and team today, and what will they believe six months from now?
• Develop and maintain a clear, year-long comms strategy : what we want players to understand, feel, and say, and how we’re going to get there.
• Monitor and triage sentiment risks and trending player conversations before they escalate. Deliver recommendations and act fast.
• Be THE player advocate, representing the player to the entire studio, advocating for their needs and pain points.
