Roku is changing how the world watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US, 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 Client Services team is responsible for managing and growing Roku’s partnerships with Advertisers and ultimately enabling our clients to reach their business objectives.
About the role
The Account Manager role is a strategic partner to Client Services Managers & Sales. This position plays a key role in ensuring campaign success & communicating key campaign learnings to better support our clients. This key team member is integral in helping the business & Operations team to maximize optimization, revenue run & client services. This individual will have a passion for data, process and customer success and will be closely aligned with other client services team members and cross-functional groups. This position requires strong communication skills and strong attention to detail, in a fast-paced sales environment. Support advertiser success & learnings with the Roku platform, in partnership with Client Services & Business Operations.
The expectations placed on the Account Manger role within the Political Ad Sales team are largely similar to the broader Client Services team but will have a few key differences. During peak season when political campaigns are in full swing and advertising heavily, there may be times when an adjusted schedule is required in order to meet the unique needs of political advertisers. Timeliness, with respect to both response time and communication of core campaign needs such as inventory availability and campaign adjustments, is an area of greater importance for this role, and candidates should be prepared to adopt an accommodating approach to client needs. Roku, and particularly the Political Ad Sales Team, is non-partisan, works with the full spectrum of political advertisers, and promises the same end-to-end client experience to all political advertisers; the Account Manager should prepare to be apolitical and show no evidence of personal bias or political affinity.
As an Account Manager within the Political Advertising sales team, you will work to support the Ad Sales and Client Services teams. Account Managers at Roku are involved in each step of launch, execution & post- sales from client launches to billing.
For New York Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $90,000 and $135,000 annually.

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.
