Roblox Live creates live moments that bring the Roblox platform together—from major platform celebrations to live performances and creator moments. The team is small, fast-moving, and focused on shaping the future of live experiences on Roblox.
You will own the end-to-end program management of Roblox Live's slate of events and experiences. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting into the Live team leadership. Your responsibilities include:
**Program Planning & Coordination**
Turn the programming slate into a forward calendar with clear phases, milestones, decision gates, and owners. Manage dependencies and resource conflicts across events in concept, production, and live operation. Help define each program's audience, goals, and success measures, bringing creative and operational judgment to early concepts and making practical recommendations on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs.
**Status & Tracking**
Build and maintain one shared view of program status across all workstreams. Establish how workstream owners update plans, track commitments, and resolve blockers across internal teams and external partners. Run focused planning sessions, workstream reviews, and recaps that keep decisions moving.
**Budget & Financial Management**
Consolidate staffing, studio, vendor, and production estimates into program budget requests. Partner with Finance and workstream owners to track commitments, spend, and changes against the approved plan.
**Risk & Issue Management**
Maintain the risk register, including assumptions, issues, dependencies, and mitigation plans. Assign owners, surface risks early, and recommend changes that protect program goals and delivery dates.
**Executive & Cross-Functional Communication**
Give executives concise updates on outcomes, progress, risks, and decisions needed. Give workstream owners the detail they need to act, with clear commitments and next steps. Establish decision owners and escalation paths before launch. Support the Live Ops Producer during live events by resolving cross-team dependencies and coordinating leadership decisions.
**Learning & Continuous Improvement**
Lead retrospectives and publish post-event readouts with Data Science and functional leads. Track program results, partner contributions, and creative concepts against pre-launch goals. Turn lessons and operating runbooks into reusable program playbooks. Track follow-up actions and improve planning, handoffs, and reporting so each event starts with what the team has already learned.
You will work closely with creative, content, product, engineering, marketing, safety, and external partners. This role requires turning ambiguity into a plan and leading across teams through trust and judgment.
**Requirements**
- 7+ years in program management, production, or live operations, including 3+ years leading live events, recurring content programs, or partner programs
- Track record of building and running complex programs across creative, technical, and business teams, with multiple initiatives moving at once
- Experience consolidating budget requests, tracking program financials, and managing risks and dependencies through delivery
- Strong judgment about scope, priorities, and escalation, with the ability to make progress before every detail is settled
- Proven ability to lead without formal authority and build lasting trust with internal teams and external partners
- Clear writing and executive communication, with experience connecting program activity to measurable outcomes
- Fluency with program management tools such as Jira, Airtable, Asana, or equivalents, and the ability to build practical tracking and reporting systems
- Preferred: Experience in gaming, creator platforms, entertainment, live events, or esports
- Preferred: Experience building a program or operating model from scratch that other teams adopted
- Preferred: Familiarity with Roblox and its player and creator communities
- Preferred: Experience evaluating partner programs or creative concepts through shared goals and scorecards
