We’re looking for a Competitive Experience Manager to turn Clash Royale into the place for serious skill and serious hype. You’ll own the vision for competitive Royale from in-game systems to global moments and work across teams to build an ecosystem players and viewers can’t ignore.
We're looking for a Competitive Experience Manager to shape the future of competitive play for Clash Royale. This isn't just about running tournaments – it's about building an ecosystem that makes Royale a destination for competitive players and viewers worldwide.
Royale has one of the deepest skill ceilings in mobile gaming and a passionate competitive community. We believe competitive play is core to our long-term success, not a side project. We're looking for someone who can own the vision for what competitive Royale should become, and then build it.
You'll report to the Marketing Lead and work closely with Game Design, Community, and Live Operations to ensure competitive play is woven into the fabric of the game. If you've ever felt that mobile esports doesn't get the respect it deserves and want to prove otherwise, this might be your role.

Own the strategic vision for Clash Royale competitive play, including CRL and partner ecosystem
Drive ecosystem development – from grassroots tournaments to global championships
Build and maintain relationships with tournament organizers, broadcast partners, and competitive creators
Collaborate with Game Design on competitive health, formats, and in-game integration
Identify opportunities to grow the competitive audience and deepen player investment
Manage operational partners while keeping focus on long-term ecosystem growth

Strong understanding of competitive gaming ecosystems and what makes them thrive
Excellent relationship-building skills with partners, creators, and internal stakeholders
Ability to balance long-term vision with scrappy, fast execution
Passion for competitive gaming and a player-first mentality
