Riot Games was founded on the principles that putting players first leads to exceptional experiences. Since the launch of League of Legends in 2009, millions of players around the world log in each month to connect through our games and the music that brings them to life.

As we continue to expand our global content portfolio, we’re seeking an Interactive Music Manager based in Singapore to support the delivery of high-quality interactive music across Riot’s products and partnerships.

That's where you come in.

As the Interactive Music Design Manager in Riot Singapore Game Studio, you’ll help bring Riot’s music vision to life by developing and overseeing interactive music production and in-game implementation across assigned products and features. This role sits at the intersection of music, audio systems, and gameplay — partnering closely with Audio, Design, Engineering, and external music vendors to ensure music is authored, implemented, and optimized for real-time player experiences.

This is not a music supervision, licensing, or marketing-driven role. It is a game music production role with a strong emphasis on music systems, technical integration, and interactive execution, rather than record production or campaign-based music supervision.

This is a position based in Singapore, working closely with both global and regional Riot teams.
