About the role

You'll develop and operationalize scalable frameworks to unlock revenue growth across our performance and growth advertising portfolio, ensuring tight alignment across product, sales, and legal teams.

What you'll be doing

• Develop and maintain product strategy for Roku's performance advertising portfolio, ensuring market dynamics, buyer needs, and business objectives are reflected in roadmaps and prioritization.
• Analyze systems, workflows, and dependencies across ad delivery, bidding, targeting, forecasting, and measurement to identify gaps and propose scalable solutions.
• Partner with Product Management, Ad Sales, Operations, and Legal to unblock revenue opportunities and scale team readiness to sell and support performance buying products by addressing compliance, operational, and go-to-market challenges.
• Establish frameworks for scaling across Roku’s direct channels including Home Screen and native surfaces and our in-stream video ads businesses.
• Serve as the directly responsible individual for performance advertising GTM initiatives, ensuring cross-functional teams are aligned, accountable, and delivering measurable outcomes.
• Own the operational readiness and launch execution for new performance buying products, ensuring Ad Sales teams are equipped to support advertisers from day one.

We're excited if you have

• 4+ years of experience in strategy and operations, growth or performance marketing, or equivalent practical experience, ideally within digital advertising.
• Experience managing performance budgets with an understanding of how decisions are made for budget and optimization.
• Demonstrated ability to shape product strategy through market analysis, competitive insights, and cross-functional alignment.
• Strong systems thinker with a proven ability to scale operational processes and deliver measurable business outcomes.

What should I know about Roku's culture?

Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV.

We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
