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 world-wide. Being a lean and nimble part of Blizzard operations, Blizzard's purchasing team thrives in wearing multiple hats in servicing internal organizations through procurement of different volumes, product knowledge, vendor negotiations, an understanding of software licensing agreements, and Blizzard-like work ethic!
Our team is currently looking for a talented Purchasing Analyst.

• Strong knowledge of current computer hardware and software technologies
