• Drive platform engagement and business outcomes by owning the metrics that define success for content discovery and tying the roadmap directly to moving them
• Lead experimentation end-to-end, designing and owning A/B tests from hypothesis through decision, defining primary and guardrail metrics before launch, and driving each test to a concrete product or roadmap decision
• Bring partners in early by working with engineering, design, data science, content, and monetization teams to shape plans before they are final
• Communicate with clarity and precision by writing concise specs, strategies, and updates, and presenting trade-offs and recommendations to leadership

• Product vision and an ownership mindset, with the ability to anticipate where discovery is heading and to weigh viewer value, revenue, cost, and long-term platform health together
• Customer obsession: you go looking for the truth about users through direct conversations, behavioral data, and qualitative signals rather than waiting for it to arrive in a report
• Experience managing surfaces that serve more than one revenue objective and making deliberate trade-offs without sacrificing user experience
• Data fluency and experimental rigor, including comfort with A/B testing, metric definition, and statistical validity, and experience owning a metric end-to-end, including its blind spots

• Ability to influence without authority and earn alignment from engineering, design, and stakeholders through credibility and clear reasoning
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including writing a clear spec, explaining a roadmap trade-off, and presenting a recommendation to executive audiences

What should I know about Roku's 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.
