(2022) [Riot Meddler] "We're looking for a Creative Director for LoL at the moment! This is a role really focused on aesthetics, storytelling/worldbuilding within the broader Runeterra IP and brand/style."

Original Post

The source tweet from Riot Meddler, with a followup tweet posted below.

It's a role the includes a lot of partnership work with other teams working in the IP too, like Arcane, Legends of Runeterra, upcoming new games and more. Looking for someone with significant experience doing similar work, with significant exposure to the IP already a major bonus

Are you trying to get this role filled by someone from Reddit?

It's certainly worked in the past for what it's worth! We've had some great folks join Riot, both those with experience in the industry and those new to it, starting with posting/discussion on Reddit and other social media :)

Interesting you’re asking for that much experience. Sounds like anyone under the age of 30 can’t apply… are you looking for an Equality, Diveristy and Inclusion Manager to aid your employee experience and recruitment processes as well?

For positions this senior we're looking for candidates with a lot of experience doing this sort of job or similar work, given how much that sets people up to be effective in a challenging role. We also frequently post entry and mid level roles which don't have the same requirements but can be part of the same career path.

Age is not something we consider when creating job descriptions, assessing candidates or in any other parts of the process.

I found my entry role into Riot (playtesting) through Reddit xD

Yeah actually that's what surprised me the most. There has to be VERY few people that actually meet those requierements

Yeah, the Deep Knowledge of the LoL IP's in the desired rather than required section as a result. We're confident we can help someone with the right interest, past experience and demonstrated skills get into the IP.

If they're already there though that's a strong bonus and a much faster ramp up though so a definite nice to have

As someone whose super interested in this field and would absolutely love to apply to something like this but doesn’t have the experience…Will you guys be opening entry level jobs or maybe jobs that require a bit less experience in the future? Literally a dream job so figured I have to ask you know?

If you're looking to get into the field we do post roles at more junior levels too, though they tend to get a lot of applicants so don't stay up long/don't get visibility raised like this one. In our jobs page you'll want to keep an eye on things in the creative, narrative, writing/editing and occasionally design sections. Page gets updated constantly with roles getting added and removed

I mean, I know "reddit balance" is a meme, but I would love to talk to you about a balance position since its what I got my degree to do ;)

Send me a Reddit DM!

Yeah ofc not but that doesn't mean someone in the industry might not just be lurking r/lol

People in the industry on other games or entertainment stuff also play a lot of games themselves and spend time in subreddits. I lurk in a bunch of other game subreddits for example depending on what else I'm playing (PoE right now for example)

They should get their Valorant guy's clone, they are KILLING it

VAL's had a CD for a while and that's worked really well for them - one of the reasons we've decided to add one to LoL as well!
