Why Data Science & Analytics?

Why Partnerships at Roblox?

Roblox is innovating payment solutions and subscription offerings for our community and developers. We are early in the journey to achieve payment scale, achieve greater efficiency, and drive product-market fit for developer subscriptions and platform-wide subscriptions.

In this role, you will be the methods and data domain leader for the Partnerships org - collaborating with business and engineering leaders to inform strategy, priorities, and performance optimization across numerous complex and fast-paced areas: prepaid (giftcards), platform partners (mobile app stores and consoles), sales org, and education initiatives. Work includes strategic advising, data leadership, experimentation leadership, and scenario modeling, with large autonomy and opportunity for broad company impact.

  • Proven aptitude in applied business analytics, reporting, experimentation, and causal inference, and track record of simplifying complex and ambiguous problems
