Creative Director
Roblox is looking for an experienced Creative Director to shape industry-leading creative for our immersive gaming and creation platform. This hands-on role requires as much creative judgment as it does craft—we’re looking for someone who can evaluate whether an idea is worth making, hold a through-line across a campaign or platform moment, and push the work from well-executed to genuinely compelling.

You Will:
Lead end-to-end concept development with a strong point of view on creative strategy, storytelling, and brand expression across digital and on-platform content
Drive projects through the full production lifecycle — from concepting and art direction through delivery
Experiment with and integrate AI tools to accelerate ideation, streamline production, and open up new ways of working without sacrificing craft
Build and scale creative workflows, review cadences, and operational systems that allow the team to move quickly
Mentor and develop a multidisciplinary team including art directors, copywriters, and designers
Ensure all deliverables meet partner expectations on timelines and budgets, proactively flagging and resolving blockers
Facilitate project-related team meetings (kick-offs, reviews, retrospectives) and communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels
Collaborate with cross-functional partners across marketing, product, and business teams to ensure work is strategically grounded and on-brand
You Have:
12+ years of experience in creative roles, with at least 3–5 years in a leadership or management capacity at an in-house studio, agency, or production company
A portfolio that demonstrates range, narrative depth, and strong creative judgment across digital and traditional formats
Genuine curiosity about AI and emerging creative tools, with hands-on experience using them to improve ideation and production workflows
A strong visual and art direction background, including hands-on experience in animation, 3D asset generation, and high-fidelity key art and renders
Proven experience building and scaling creative workflows and operational systems
Deep fluency across creative tools, including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, 3D software, and presentation tools
Strong stakeholder management skills — you're comfortable presenting creative rationale, navigating feedback, and advocating for your team's point of view
A sharp eye for craft and a collaborative, iterative mindset
