Roku is changing how the world watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. Our mission is to be the TV streaming platform that connects the entire TV ecosystem. We connect consumers to the content they love, enable content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers unique capabilities to engage consumers.
From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.
About the team
The world is cutting the cord and streaming its TV online, a shift that has dramatically changed how advertisers target, reach and measure their preferred audiences in ways that broadcast TV and cable never could. In this new world, Roku has re-written the rules of modern advertising and we need someone to support Media & Entertainment clients within the Performance ad sales team. In this role, you will be a critical partner in both supporting Roku sales and working externally with clients, while driving process and execution cross-functionally with internal teams. This role will differ from a conventional Account Manager position, in that you will ideally possess not only a firm grasp of the needs and practices of Media & Entertainment advertisers, but both the sales and operational savvy to help build and rapidly scale our performance advertising team.
About the role
The expectations placed on the Account Manager role within the Performance Ad Sales team are largely similar to that of the broader Client Services team at Roku, with a few key points of differentiation. As a member of this team, you will bring a breadth of experience working with brands & advertisers who are hyper focused on outcome-based media buying and the methods used to measure performance across devices. You will be very comfortable and familiar communicating with advertisers about their measurement objectives, recommending attribution models and measurement solutions, and providing a consultative perspective to performance marketers about how Roku supports their objectives. You will be excited to evangelize the unique benefits of the Roku platform and drive adoption of our product suite across the spectrum of Media & Entertainment advertisers. This position is part of one of the most rapidly growing teams at Roku and will play a key role in driving this business.
In addition to maintaining an external, client-services perspective at all times, this key team member is integral in collaborating with internal business & operations teams to develop & streamline workflows, optimize campaigns, and ensure seamless end-to-end campaign execution. You will have a passion for data, process and customer success and will be closely aligned with other client services team members and cross-functional groups. This position requires strong communication skills and strong attention to detail, in a fast-paced sales environment.
At Roku, we like to say that there are no bystanders, and that is as true in the advertising team as it is in any other facet of the company. We work together to ensure our clients understand this new world of advertising, that they are making the best possible decisions to support their own goals, and drive advertiser interest and engagement across the board.

The Roku 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.
