Senior Manager, Policy Communications, EMEA (Short Term)

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.

As a member of the Global Communications and Corporate Affairs team, you will help the company explain our approach to safety and platform policies – both proactively and reactively - to key stakeholders in markets across the EMEA region. As the Roblox platform evolves – in functionality, demographics, and geographies – you will be responsible for explaining our Community Standards and other rules. Safety is foundational to the Roblox Platform and your work would have a special focus on highlighting work to foster safety and civility. This work is particularly relevant as global events unfold – often on the Roblox platform – and new legislation/regulation is considered. You will engage in face-to-face meetings with commentators and other opinion formers, develop print and web-based material supporting these campaigns, and counter misinformation that might interfere with our business and ability to serve our community. You are passionate about our mission, the community Roblox serves, and the policy issues Roblox needs to address. You should have a good understanding of consumer technology/social media, online safety, content enforcement, privacy, and policy.
