    Description
    Riot Games was founded in 2006 by gamers who believed that putting players first could lead to extraordinary games. In 2009, we released League of Legends, now the world's most-played PC game.Today, millions log on every month—and it's for them that we continue evolving the League experience.

    That's where you come in.

    • Establish clear performance expectations for Technical Art Managers and their teams, providing regular feedback and managing performance effectively and empathetically.
    • Remain hands-on with tools, pipelines, and game engines—able to contribute directly in rendering, rigging, shaders, or pipeline development when necessary to guide decision-making, unblock teams, or set examples of technical best practices.
    • Define long-term technical strategies in partnership with LA leadership, ensuring Singapore's contributions integrate seamlessly with Riot-wide pipelines, tools, and workflows.
    • Build and maintain alignment between Singapore and LA Technical Art leadership to ensure shared standards, knowledge transfer, and consistency in technical direction across regions.
    • Anticipate future tech and workflow needs, building strategies to keep Riot's pipelines modern, scalable, and efficient. Drive innovation that enhances player experiences, ensuring technical solutions ultimately serve gameplay clarity, art quality, and performance.
    • Align diverse partners across art, engineering, production, and partner studios around clear technical strategies that balance creative ambition, efficiency, and sustainability.
    • Build and maintain trusted relationships with partner studios and external vendors, ensuring efficiency, quality, and consistent standards
    • Define and nurture a healthy, inclusive, and high-performing culture across Singapore's Technical Art teams. Build frameworks and rituals that strengthen collaboration, trust, and continuous improvement across Rendering, Rigging, and broader Technical Art disciplines.
    • Proactively identify risks and remove blockers to ensure sustainable, high-quality delivery across multiple content streams.

    Required Qualifications
    • 10+ years in the games industry, with at least 4+ years in technical art leadership or management roles.
    • Proven experience leading and developing Technical Art Managers or Leads across multiple subdisciplines (Rendering, Rigging, Shading, or Pipeline).
    • Deep knowledge of game art production pipelines, with strong expertise in real-time rendering and/or rigging, and the ability to guide managers in technical decision-making.
    • Broad familiarity with multiple aspects of the 3D art pipeline (rigging, modeling, texturing, shading, integration).
    • Strong background collaborating with cross-discipline partners in art, engineering, and production.
    • Demonstrated success in hiring, mentoring, and developing leaders to elevate team performance and craft quality.
    • Hands-on technical experience with major game engines (Unreal, Unity, or proprietary).
    • Proven ability to align stakeholders across disciplines and regions around a shared technical vision.
    • Excellent communication skills, able to clearly articulate complex technical strategies to both creative and technical audiences
    • Fluent in English (spoken and written).
    • Passion for League of Legends, with an understanding of cosmetics and player expectations.

    Desired Qualifications
    • Broad experience shipping stylized AAA content
    • Programming or scripting knowledge (e.g., Python, C++, C#) to collaborate effectively with engineers and provide informed guidance on tools and workflows.
    • Experience improving pipelines, tools, and workflows at scale.
    • Multilingual skills (e.g., Mandarin) to support collaboration with partner studios.

    Our Perks
    • Full relocation support
    • Full health insurance for you, your spouse and children
    • Open paid time off
    • Retirement benefits with company matching
