Roku Is Changing How The World Watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US 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 Merchandising Manager, Live & Sports will be a member of the Content Merchandising Editorial team as we revolutionize the leading OTT platform’s content ecosystem. You’ll work on exciting live, FAST and sports content projects for both Roku and third party partners. Do you have an obsession for Live events? Do you know the sports streaming landscape? Do you follow pop culture? This job may be for you.
About The Role
We are looking for someone who thrives under deadlines, and has experience in a newsroom-like environment. We need a manager who can use data, research, and editorial instincts to help propel Roku’s user experiences. This person will collaborate cross-functionally between marketing, business, data, and engineering leads across the company. We are a highly independent team where work moves fast. We have an inclusive, independent, results driven culture with the goal of making Roku the best, personalized, most relevant streaming platform globally.
What You'll Be Doing
Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension). Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs. It's important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter.
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.
