Roku is changing how the world watches TV

Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, 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.

Roku Ads Manager is our answer to the growing demand in streaming advertising. Our self-serve platform just entered General Availability (GA) in September 2024 and has picked up major momentum. Our Ads Manager team is small, gritty, and focused on scaling the best streaming ad platform in the market. We move fast, pivot quickly, and work hard. We rally around decisions, challenge assumptions, and push the limits on what advertising can do for growth marketers, performance agencies, and any other business interested in making the big screen work for their brands’ objectives. 
The Roku Ads Manager team is looking for an SDR to help us scale our platform.

 

About the role

TV ads were once reserved for large national brands. Roku believes that it’s better for streamers, brands, and our company that all businesses have a path to advertising in streaming. Roku Ads Manager is our answer to democratizing streaming advertising, creating a self-serve path for businesses of any size to get their brand on the big screen.

Roku Ads Manager is looking for an SDR to help qualify inbound leads for our self-serve streaming ad platform. Ideal candidates will have the ability to drive advertisers’ marketing strategy coupled with a willingness to roll up their sleeves and execute the tactics. Success in this position requires exceptional prioritization skills to differentiate service by priority accounts while delivering best-in-class customer service to everyone.

You will be an individual contributor, while also maintaining an ownership mindset when it comes to influencing the product, working cross-functionally, and scaling.

The role is fast-paced in a particularly high-growth area, requiring the ability to work autonomously in an ever-changing environment.

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.
