Job Description
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 an Associate Art Director (AAD), you will participate in a rotational program designed to provide hands-on experience and direct mentorship from some of the industry’s leading creatives. Throughout the program, you will build a versatile portfolio while working on high-impact marketing campaigns that shape the visual direction of our platform, our community, and our creators—impacting a global audience of over 111 million daily users.
You Will:
- Learn to apply and push the boundaries of the Roblox visual identity through concept-driven, high-craft art direction.
- Concept, craft, and execute creative ideas across multiple mediums, including mobile, social, film, interactive content, brand activations, OOH, and experiential events.
- Rotate and collaborate as you work across different pods within the Brand Creative and Design teams, learning from art directors, copywriters, and brand designers to bring ideas to life.
- Learn the full creative lifecycle from initial brainstorming and mood-boarding to final production and implementation, and come to understand the craft required to meet our rigorous standards for quality.
- Present and advocate for ideas that solve real audience problems. You will share and present your creative concepts to internal teams, building alignment and learning how to thoughtfully incorporate feedback into your process.
- Receive ongoing mentorship, feedback, and professional development opportunities to grow as an art director.
You Are:
- In possession of or will possess an undergraduate/graduate degree in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Advertising, or a related field.
- Visually driven with a portfolio that demonstrates a strong grasp of composition, typography, color theory, and visual storytelling.
- Technically proficient in industry-standard tools, specifically Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) and Figma. Knowledge of 3D tools or motion design is a major plus.
- A storyteller who doesn't just make things look great, but also understands how to use visuals to communicate an idea, narrative, or solve a brand challenge.
- Curious about how people use technology, and why they use it.
- Resilient and embrace iteration and feedback as essential steps in the creative process.
- Passionate about Roblox with a deep interest in the Roblox community, the creator economy, and the future of immersive play.
