ABOUT THE TEAM

The Subscriptions team at Roku is focused on growing Roku's subscriptions business by identifying opportunities to better compete in the SVOD landscape and working cross-functionally to ensure the optimal execution of those initiatives. As the company's core business team thinking about subscriptions, we are setting the strategy and vision for Roku's SVOD business and partnering closely with internal teams such as Partner Growth, Marketing, Merchandising, Product, Content Operations, Revenue Operations, Finance, and Accounting to bring the vision to life.

You must be someone who thrives in complexity, can navigate ambiguous cross-functional environments, and has a proven track record of bringing order to fast-moving organizations. You will partner closely with the Director of Subscriptions Growth and the VP of Subscriptions to translate strategic priorities into operational plans, drive accountability across teams, and ensure the business has the infrastructure and discipline to execute at a high level. A successful candidate has deep experience operating within complex organizations, an instinct for identifying process gaps before they become problems, and the ability to stand up new operational frameworks from scratch as the business evolves. For California Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $167,000 - $185,000 annually. Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

* Own and scale Subscriptions Operations: Lead the day-to-day and strategic operations of the Premium Subscriptions business, including partner onboarding, price changes, new plan launches, bundles, migrations, and deprecations across all markets. Ensure seamless execution through your team and through direct involvement in high-stakes initiatives. * Build and manage the operations team: Directly manage two reports. Set clear expectations, develop talent, and create a high-performing team culture rooted in ownership and operational excellence. * Serve as a strategic partner to Subscriptions leadership: Act as an operational right hand to the Director of Subscriptions Growth, owning the preparation and facilitation of critical leadership meetings, cross-functional reviews, and planning sessions. Drive agendas, ensure the right topics are surfaced, track decisions and action items, and hold stakeholders accountable to follow-through. * Develop executive-ready materials for VP and C-Suite audiences: Author and own strategic decks, business reviews, and presentations for Roku’s senior leadership, including VP-level and C-Suite forums. Translate complex operational and business data into clear, compelling narratives that inform executive decision-making and showcase the Subscriptions business’s performance, priorities, and strategic direction. * Own the Subscriptions operating cadence: Design, implement, and run the team’s recurring business rhythms — including QBRs, monthly business reviews, planning cycles, and leadership updates. Ensure these forums are well-structured, action-oriented, and consistently drive alignment across the organization. * Design and implement systems and processes: Serve as the team’s process architect. Evaluate, design, document, and implement scalable operational processes and tooling for both existing and emerging business needs. You are the person who sees a manual, fragile workflow and turns it into a reliable, repeatable system. * Drive cross-functional execution: Facilitate initiatives and data flows across Business, Product, Engineering, Merchandising, Marketing, Revenue Operations, Finance, and Accounting. Own the communication and coordination layer — tracking task status, surfacing risks, removing blockers, and ensuring accountability across stakeholders. * Proactively identify and mitigate risk: Anticipate operational and technical risks to processes before they materialize. Lead root cause analysis for issues and implement preventative measures across the team. * Develop new processes as the business evolves: As the Subscriptions business expands into new services, markets, and product types, you will own the development of net-new operational processes end-to-end — from discovery and definition through implementation and iteration.

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.
