ROBLOX is a fast growing online virtual world and building game for kids – think “Second Life meets building blocks”. We have established a compelling market presence and a clear advertising demographic. We are looking for a motivated, hands-on individual to lead our direct and network advertising sales campaigns. We prefer experience with kid friendly companies (cereal, toys, video games, etc.), but a compelling track record in online sales counts more.

The ROBLOX user base is expanding at an explosive rate: in a recent week, over 2.9 million games were played, 5.5 million building blocks were used, and 1.5 million Robux (our in game currency) were exchanged. Our users are also passionate, playing over 5 hours per week, on average. Check us out on YouTube – search on “ROBLOX”.

You will be responsible for forging new advertising partnerships with national brands, maintaining existing relationships, developing pitch presentations, updating sales forecasts, and maintaining a sales pipeline. You will be expected to consistently hit and exceed revenue goals, and will be compensated through a mix of salary, commission, and stock.

If you fit the bill, and are interested in joining a growing, efficient, and highly focused startup in the gaming market, we want to meet you.
