Technical Program Manager, Data Science & Analytics (Short Term)

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're looking for a Contract Technical Program Manager to support our Product, Data Science & Analytics (DSA), and Engineering organizations during a high-activity period.

This is a hands-on execution role. You'll partner with established leaders and cross-functional teams to keep programs moving, surface operational gaps, and help build lightweight systems that improve how we work.

What You Will Do

Define and Lead Organization-Wide Programs

Program Execution & Coordination

• Manage day-to-day execution of cross-functional programs across Product, DSA, and Engineering

• Track milestones, dependencies, and risks; flag issues early and drive them to resolution

• Support recurring operational forums (data reviews, product reviews) — prep materials, capture decisions, and follow up on action items

Data & Metrics Support

• Partner with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to support data quality tracking and dashboard maintenance

• Help document ownership and standards for key metrics and reporting workflows

• Assist in monitoring ETL pipeline health and escalating issues appropriately

Operational Improvements

• Identify friction points in existing workflows and propose practical, low-overhead fixes

• Help build or refine playbooks, intake processes, and coordination mechanisms

• Support rollout and adoption of new processes across teams

Stakeholder Communication

• Prepare clear status updates and program summaries for senior stakeholders

• Facilitate alignment meetings and ensure follow-through on decisions

What You Bring

• 4–7 years of experience in Technical Program Management, Product Operations, or a related role

• Solid understanding of data systems, analytics workflows, or instrumentation (you don't need to be an engineer, but you need to speak the language)

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously

• Clear, direct communicator — written and verbal

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and ramping quickly in a fast-moving environment

• Experience at a mid-to-large tech company preferred

You Are

• A force multiplier who significantly increases the effectiveness of the entire organization.

• A builder and operator, equally skilled in defining strategy and driving execution.

• A clear, direct communicator who can influence effectively at all levels without direct authority.

• Energized by scale, ambiguity, and high-stakes, complex problems.
