This role involves coordinating translation and localization efforts, ensuring cultural appropriateness, and managing global release strategies. Globalization Managers work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the company's offerings meet the linguistic, legal, and cultural requirements of target markets. Their goal is to maximize global reach while maintaining consistency and quality across all regions.

How does a globalization manager typically collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful market entry in new regions?

A Globalization Manager works closely with product, marketing, legal, and engineering teams to adapt products and communications for local markets. This involves coordinating localization of content, ensuring regulatory compliance, and aligning strategies with regional insights. Regular meetings, clear project timelines, and cross-departmental workshops are common to address challenges like cultural nuances and technical constraints. Effective collaboration ensures the product resonates with global audiences and meets local requirements.

To thrive as a Globalization Manager, you need expertise in international business, cross-cultural communication, project management, and typically a relevant degree such as international relations or business. Familiarity with localization platforms, translation management systems, and certifications like PMP or ATA are often required. Outstanding soft skills include cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and strong collaboration to navigate diverse markets and teams. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring products and strategies are effectively adapted for global audiences, driving international growth and compliance.

Job description

As a Manager of Globalization Production at Riot Games, you will lead teams responsible for bringing Riot's content from creation to live for players around the world. You will serve as the strategic bridge between our creative game and content teams and our global audiences. In this role, you'll manage producers across localization and content publishing teams and align workflows across teams to enable scale while partnering closely with Development, Product, Content Production, Marketing and Engineering teams. Your mission is to ensure that every game, cinematic and Riot produced experience lands with quality, consistency, and impact across regions, languages and platforms.
Responsibilities:
  • Own the end-to-end lifecycle of content from source handoff through localization, readiness and publishing.
  • Ensure global launches are coordinated, localized, and published across channels and regions.
  • Directly manage localization and content operations producers, coaching them to think beyond functional silos and take ownership of full content lifecycles.
  • Build a team culture grounded in accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
  • Serve as a primary partner to stakeholders across Content Production, Product and Game Teams.
  • Represent globalization and publishing considerations early in planning and intake conversations.
  • Use data and insights to inform prioritization, resourcing and process improvements.
  • Establish and evolve workflows that connect Content Production, Localization and Publishing.
  • Partner with tooling and platform teams to improve automation, scalability, and visibility.
  • Define and track success metrics such as time-to-market, localization readiness, etc.
Required Qualifications:
  • Experience building content pipelines and familiarity with publishing systems, and content management platforms.
  • Strong understanding of how content is produced, packaged, localized and published at scale.
  • Proven ability to manage cross-functional workflows and multiple stakeholders.
  • 3 years of people management experience.
Desired Qualifications:
  • At least five years in content localization or globalization management, preferably in gaming or entertainment.
  • Experience leading teams in localization, content operations, publishing or program management.
  • Experience working with global teams and regional partners.
  • A systems mindset: you see patterns, dependencies, and opportunities for simplification.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!
Our Perks:
Riot focuses on work/life balance, shown by our open paid time off policy and other perks such as flexible work schedules. We offer medical, dental, and life insurance, parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children, and a 401k with company match. Check out our benefits pages for more information.
At Riot Games, we put players first. That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player. Whether you're working directly on a new player-facing experience or you're supporting the company as a whole, everyone at Riot is part of our mission. And just like in our games, we're better when we work together. Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we're looking forward to your application.
It's our policy to provide equal employment opportunity for all applicants and members of Riot Games, Inc. Riot Games makes reasonable accommodations for handicapped and disabled Rioters and does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, handicap, veteran status, marital status, criminal history, or any other category protected by applicable federal and state law.

Per the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance, the following core duties may create a basis for disqualifying candidates with relevant criminal histories:
