What the posting says

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.

We are seeking a Sr. Director, Executive Search to design, scale, and lead our executive search function. In this strategic role, you will partner directly with C-suite executives and senior leadership to identify, engage, and hire top-tier executive talent. You will combine high-touch candidate engagement, data-driven sourcing strategies, and expert negotiation to drive critical leadership hires across the organization. You'll occupy the following roles:

Strategic Consultant: Partner with executives to accelerate product roadmaps, unlock innovation, and expand market share by aligning talent acquisition directly with corporate strategy.

Elite Headhunter: Lead executive searches with the discretion and taste of a top-tier boutique firm—securing our unfair share of exceptional, passive talent.

Experience Architect: Curate a differentiated, candidate-first recruiting journey to instill immediate trust, increasing offer-acceptance rates and fortifying internal confidence in the talent engine.

Nurturer: Establish and foster long-term relationships with world-class leaders to engage talent well before a need arises, transforming recruitment from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

Insight Driver: Use market signals, funnel intelligence, and pattern recognition to guide executive decision-making and provide high-leverage talent intelligence.

Standard Bearer: Set a relentless bar for rigor to hold the organization to elite standards, ensuring maximum talent density.

Team Leader: Recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing team of executive recruiters, fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous professional development.

Velocity Engine: Build a function known for velocity, discretion, and consistently landing the right leaders to successfully shape the company.

You Will:

Leadership & Strategy: Design and scale a world-class executive search function, including managing/coaching a small team, developing internal executive research capabilities, and leading succession planning.

End-to-End Recruitment: Own and drive the entire executive recruitment lifecycle, from initial intake strategy to candidate offer and closing, ensuring a seamless, high-touch experience.

Hands-on Execution: Remain actively involved in full-cycle execution for high-priority, mission-critical searches, personally driving candidate generation, engagement, and closing.

Market Mapping & Sourcing: Develop sophisticated, data-driven market maps of executive talent across relevant technology and engineering domains.

Candidate Engagement: Articulate the mission, vision, and culture compellingly to high-profile executive candidates, managing complex negotiations and relocation strategies.

Confidentiality & Discretion: Handle highly sensitive candidate information and internal organizational plans with complete discretion.

Executive Advisory: Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO, C-suite, and senior leadership on talent planning and executive hiring best practices.

Process Improvement: Drive continuous improvement in executive search processes, leveraging modern tools, metrics, and interview methodologies.

Passive Candidate Conversion: Execute tailored strategies to reach and convert highly passive executive talent into active candidates.

You Have:

Experience: 8+ years leading executive searches (Director level and above) and 15+ years of total recruiting experience.

Domain Expertise: Proven track record recruiting executive talent in highly technical or rapidly scaling environments (e.g., software, hardware, AI/ML, autonomous systems).

Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with strong ability to influence and present to C-level executives.

Negotiation & Closing: Expertise in negotiating complex executive compensation packages and successfully closing candidates.

Talent Intelligence: Ability to provide real-time competitive intelligence, benchmarking, and market signals to guide leadership decision-making.

Education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

You Are:

Someone with a Proven Reputation: Distinguished track record in leading executive searches that serves as a trust proxy, allowing you to build executive trust quickly and command market attention.

Excellent with Executive Operations: Ability to navigate executive team dynamics with ease, acting as a high-judgment negotiator who knows when to push, wait, or hold the bar.

A Quality Assurer: Relentless advocacy for high talent density, prioritizing the long-term success of leadership hires over short-term requisition speed.

Impact Prioritizer: Driven by company-shaping outcomes, focusing energy on high-leverage hires that fundamentally move the needle for the organization.

Talent Attractor: Embody the excellence of our brand to compellingly persuade passive industry leaders to join our mission.
