Role summary
Riot Games is seeking a Senior Manager, Enterprise Engineering & Process Excellence to lead two key functions: Enterprise Software Engineering and Business Process Excellence. This role will set strategy, design and build technical capabilities, and drive continuous improvement of enterprise processes using modern practices like process mining and AI. You will manage a multidisciplinary team of software engineers and business systems analysts, partnering with leaders across People Tech, Finance Tech, and Enterprise Data & AI. The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, 12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise technology, and 8+ years of management experience. Strong understanding of software engineering practices, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Databricks), programming languages (Go, TypeScript), and frameworks (Next.js) is required. Experience with AI, Lean, Six Sigma, and enterprise integration platforms is desired.
Riot’s Enterprise Technology organization ensures Rioters have what they need to unlock their full potential, from secure and compliant systems to efficient business platforms that keep the company running smoothly. Enterprise Systems improves how Enterprise operates so Rioters can focus on building magic for players instead of navigating broken processes and fragmented systems.
As Senior Manager, Enterprise Engineering & Process Excellence, you will lead two horizontal capabilities that the rest of Enterprise Systems depends on: Enterprise Software Engineering, which designs, builds, and operates new technical capabilities for Enterprise, and Business Process Excellence, which assesses, redesigns, instruments, and continuously improves enterprise processes. The portfolio includes custom applications, the company directory and organizational data APIs, and integrations with business systems.
You will manage a multidisciplinary team of software engineers and business systems analysts. This is not a traditional enterprise systems role. We are building a function that reimagines enterprise engineering and process excellence for an AI-enabled organization. We use process mining and telemetry to continuously improve how work gets done, integration and automation with AI to reduce manual effort, and purpose-built applications to create capabilities that differentiate Riot. You will connect what the business needs, how processes should work, and how technology can deliver improvements.
You will partner closely with leaders across People Tech, Finance Tech, and Enterprise Data & AI, as well as business stakeholders in Enterprise functions.
