Program Specialist, Safety & Security Risk

 About the team  

Our number one priority is the safety and security of the workforce and the business. We strategically manage and work tirelessly to mitigate risks to our employees, facilities, events, and productions, providing world-class assistance 24/7/365. We take a systematic approach by thoroughly evaluating our risk exposure, capabilities, and appetite to ensure that optimal decisions are made, and measures proportionate to the level of risk are applied. We address threats with urgency and focus so our employees may execute at a high level, recover, and emerge stronger from crises. We leverage our deep knowledge of the international geopolitical landscape to identify possible scenarios to prepare for and prevent significant impacts. Finally, we partner and engage authentically across the enterprise by establishing an atmosphere of trust and approachability through competency, integrity, and transparency.      

About the role  

Roku’s leadership in the streaming media industry means we are well-positioned to shape the future of television – including TV advertising – around the world. Our continued success relies on investing in thoughtful risk analysis, forward-looking strategies, threat mitigation, crisis & incident management, and business enablement.    

The Program Specialist, Safety & Security Risk, reporting to the Senior Director of Global Security Strategy & Risk, will assist with the administration and management of core global security programs. The role requires a self-starter – a critical thinker that is passionate about program management.

What you'll be doing   

• Global Safety & Security (GSS) Contracts, MSAs, Renewals, and tracking Legal Reviews

The candidate will coordinate the operational execution of programs in close collaboration with directly responsible individuals. The candidate will lead programs as tasked, which may require research, self-taught learning, creating plans, and obtaining relevant buy-in from stakeholders. The successful candidate is a doer, detailed-oriented, and organized. They must have a critical eye for efficiencies and process improvements and work extremely well across all levels of the organization, often under tight timelines. As expected of all Roku employees, the candidate is expected to deliver best-in-class effort and measurable outcomes.  

While the candidate may direct and manage programs, the role will initially represent an individual contributor capacity, and will be supported by other members of the Global Safety & Security team.  

The work we do can be challenging, but that’s why we enjoy it so much. The ideal candidate isn’t a bystander. They are curious and engaged, willing to jump in to solve problems and make data-driven decisions even when things feel ambiguous. Our industry evolves quickly, so we expect a great candidate to be comfortable responding quickly to changing business needs, knowing that their own success comes when the team succeeds.
