Summary Generated by Built In

The opportunity
Unity powers millions of creators — and XR is one of the most exciting frontiers we support. This role owns how Unity runs across the XR ecosystem: headsets, mixed reality devices, and whatever comes next.

You'll set the platform roadmap, negotiate directly with global hardware partners, and work hand-in-hand with engineering and R&D to keep Unity's XR capabilities ahead of the curve. This is a high-visibility role with real influence — your decisions will shape what millions of creators can build.

Short-term: stabilize and expand XR platform support, build strong partner relationships, and close critical dependency gaps. Long-term: position Unity as the go-to engine for next-gen XR and AI-assisted creation.

What you'll be doing

  • Own the XR platform roadmap — analyze market trends, identify emerging platforms, and make the case for where Unity invests for maximum creator impact
  • Negotiate with global hardware partners and navigate deep internal dependencies to keep platform-level stability a top priority
  • Author high-stakes strategy documents and stay close to the technical details of Unity's interaction with XR hardware
  • Partner with R&D to shape how AI-driven authoring and internal tooling evolve engine support for XR platforms
  • Represent Unity's platform vision externally — at XR industry conferences and in strategic overviews for partners and customers

What we're looking for

  • Proven track record shipping complex, technical products — middleware, OS, developer tools, or large-scale platform integrations
  • Experience managing external partner relationships and influencing internal stakeholders across a large organization
  • Technical fluency in APIs, rendering pipelines, and hardware abstraction — comfortable going deep with architects and engineers
  • Ability to untangle complex cross-functional dependencies and drive execution from strategy to shipping
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication — can distill technical roadmaps into compelling narratives for any audience

You might also have

  • Hands-on familiarity with Unity or another major game engine
  • Experience integrating AI tools into developer or creative workflows
  • Background in developer advocacy, conference speaking, or partner-facing platform evangelism
