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.

Roblox's Vancouver office is a growing hub of engineering talent, and we're looking for someone to shape how the team grows, stays, and thrives. As the Vancouver People & Talent Lead, you'll lead talent strategy for the site while serving as the people and office point of contact for the Vancouver site. This role sits at the intersection of talent strategy and organizational health.

You'll work closely with Recruiting, People Business Partners, and Engineering leadership to understand what the Vancouver team needs to scale well, then build the programs, systems, and relationships to make it happen. The experience you create will be a direct expression of Roblox's investment in this team. You will report to the People Business Partner Lead supporting the Vancouver engineering organization.

You Will:

• Own full-cycle talent acquisition for the Vancouver site. Partner with Engineering leadership to define hiring strategy, recruit for senior and niche technical roles, build local talent pipelines, and support workforce planning as the team scales.
• Champion Roblox as an employer of choice in the Vancouver tech market through partnerships with universities,, and local industry networks.
• Collaborate with the Early Careers team to make Roblox Vancouver a standout internship destination by overseeing the local intern program end-to-end and building a pipeline of future full-time hires.

Office Health & Employee Experience

• Drive the programs and rituals that make Vancouver a high-engagement, high-trust office from onboarding to team events to feedback loops that surface what the team actually needs.
• Serve as the trusted go-to for Vancouver employees: fielding questions, navigating sensitive situations, and connecting people to the right resources across People, Legal, Immigration, and Finance.

You Have:

• 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with depth in technical domains (Engineering, Gaming, Rendering/Graphics, AI/ML, etc.)
• Demonstrated success hiring senior and niche technical talent in competitive markets

• A startup mentality and openness to thinking outside the box
• Excitement about being on-site full-time in Vancouver: you believe in-person presence matters and you show up with energy.

You Are:

• Strategically minded: you can zoom out to understand what a site needs to grow well, then zoom in to execute the detailed work that makes it happen.
• A connector: you build trust quickly with employees and cross-functional partners at all levels, and you know how to get things done through influence rather than authority.
• Data-informed: you use signals, survey results, retention trends, anecdotal feedback to shape priorities and make the case for investment.
• Proactive, not reactive: you anticipate what the office and employees need before problems surface, and you move fast when they do.
• Invested in people: you care deeply about the experience of every person in the Vancouver office and show up as a genuine advocate for what they need to do their best work.
