• Technical Compliance: Build every asset to Roblox UGC specifications, including triangle and texture limits, cage setup, and attachment points.
• Dynamic Head Rigging: Develop facial rigs for dynamic heads that meet Roblox FACS-based facial animation requirements and test them in Roblox Studio before submission.
• Moderation Management: Manage moderation rejections end to end, diagnosing the issue, revising the asset or listing, and resubmitting items to keep releases on schedule.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Collaborate with Sawhorse's interactive, creative, and production teams to translate concepts and creative direction into Marketplace-ready items.
• Asset Workflow: Support a consistent workflow for source files, naming conventions, versioning, and upload tracking across multiple item drops.
