Thrive, Don't Just Survive
Women in Tech | Roku Manchester

Community Event • Manchester • 25 November

Getting into tech is only half the story. Staying, growing and thriving is the other half. At this community event, three women from Roku Manchester and a leading burnout specialist come together to share what it really takes — not just to land a career in tech, but to build one that's sustainable, ambitious and yours.

That's why we'd love to invite you to Thrive, Don't Just Survive — an evening for women already working in the industry and anyone thinking about making the move. Whichever side of that line you're on, this evening is for you.

What to Expect:

This is more than a panel — it's a chance to hear honest, personal stories from three Roku women across engineering, product and privacy, pick up practical tools from a burnout specialist, and see what Roku Manchester is really like beyond the job listing.

✨ Insider Access
Go behind the scenes at Roku Manchester — from engineering at the intersection of hardware and software in New Product Introduction, to shaping the roadmap for Roku's next-generation technology, to the Trust organisation ensuring user data is handled responsibly as the platform scales globally.

☕ Expert Insights
Hear directly from three Roku women — Nadia Noormohamed (Senior Software Engineer, NPI), Sara Mudalige (Product Manager, Advanced Technology) and Yasmin Hinds (Senior Data Privacy, Trust) — plus guest speaker Jeanette Jackson, a burnout specialist, with practical tools to protect your energy, set boundaries and build a sustainable career.

🤝 Networking Opportunities
Meet women already in the industry and others thinking about making the move, over refreshments in an informal, welcoming atmosphere — no tech jargon required, just real conversation.

🤖 Real-World Examples
See how three very different paths — engineering, product and privacy — come together under one roof in Manchester, and get real strategies for a career that is sustainable as well as ambitious, not corporate wellness platitudes.
