About the role

Original posting from Roblox

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. 

At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. 

A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.

Creator Relations helps Roblox’s top creators, from independent developers to professional studios, build bigger and more successful games. You’ll build the engine behind it: the data, tools and roadmap system that let our account managers, game experts and support teams do more, faster, and prove their impact.

You will:

Run the roadmap system. Gather ideas from account management, Developer Excellence, Services and partner teams, size each by expected impact, and bring the Head of Creator Relations a ranked recommendation. Then drive delivery.

Build the tools. Lead delivery with dedicated engineering partners, with a focus on AI and automation: account health scores, prioritized work queues, dossiers and recommendations at scale, and early detection of rising games.

Own measurement. Define the metrics, baselines and attribution that show how Creator Relations moves creator earnings, engagement and retention. Partner closely with data science.

Turn what works into repeatable playbooks. Take what our best operators learn and get it to the hundreds of developers we don’t work with one-to-one.

Run the operating rhythm. Planning, goals and business reviews for Creator Relations.

Build and lead the team, including product and analytics roles.

You have:

12+ years across business operations, strategy, product or general management, including leading teams.

A track record of prioritizing and shipping cross-team roadmaps with engineering.

Deep comfort with data: setting metrics, building baselines and attributing results.

Hands-on with AI tools and automation, and a sense of where they create real leverage.

The ability to work credibly with engineers, data scientists and game experts alike.

Nice to have

Experience in games, platforms or marketplaces.

Familiarity with free-to-play economics or the creator economy.
