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  

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 Advertising Sales team is responsible for driving ad revenue with Advertisers and ultimately enabling our clients to reach their business objectives. 

 

About the Role 

We are seeking a highly driven and strategic partnership lead with a ‘hunter’ mentality to join our team and take ownership of leveraging Roku’s first-party data assets to unlock and accelerate new revenue opportunities. This role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, has experience building SaaS/DaaS businesses from the ground up, has operated within matrixed organizations, and is comfortable taking initiative in a fast-paced, evolving environment. You will play a pivotal role in creating and executing new strategies that drive revenue, forge partnerships, and elevate our data’s value in the ad tech ecosystem.  This position will report to the Head of Data Sales & Partnerships. 

For New York Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $157,000 - $265,000 annually.  Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location. 
  
This role is eligible for incentive compensation/commissions, health insurance, equity awards, life insurance, disability benefits, parental leave, wellness benefits, and paid time off.

  • Drive Data Monetization Strategy: Develop and execute a comprehensive data monetization  strategy that leverages Roku’s first-party data + clean room technology and different APIs/data product features to secure large, revenue generating partnerships across third-party platforms, data and measurement partners, publishers, and more.

  • Build Strategic Partnerships: Establish and nurture high-value relationships with key data buyers, including enterprises and tech platforms, identifying opportunities for mutual growth.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with business development, partner management, product, and legal teams to align on product offerings, pricing models, and legal frameworks that support scalable SaaS/DaaS solutions as part of broader enterprise partnerships.

  • Market Insights & Industry Trends: Stay ahead of industry trends in data, SaaS/DaaS models, and data privacy, providing thought leadership both internally and externally.
  • Exceed Revenue Targets: Develop and execute against annual sales targets for data monetization, ensuring consistent growth in recurring revenue through strategic data partnerships.

  • Self-Starter: A proactive, independent worker who can thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and bring strategic vision to life.
  • Expertise in Data & Technology: Deep understanding of data, its applications within the connected TV and digital advertising ecosystem, and the competitive data landscape.

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.
