Blizzard Entertainment games don’t just begin with game ideas or end once those games are released. A lot more goes into the creation of a Blizzard product than the work of developers—and we support our games for years after they’re in the hands of gamers worldwide.

This position requires a critical thinker with an eye for detail and the ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

• Work collaboratively and manage relationships with external vendors
• Strong coordination with regional administrators
