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 Role
We're seeking a Business Operations Coordinator/Associate to
support end-to-end procurement of indirect goods and services on
behalf of the Programming & Engagement division which supports The
Roku Channel. The Roku Channel (TRC) is an ad supported and premium
subscription video channel available on Roku, mobile, web and other
streaming platforms. The procurement team negotiates competitive
deal economics and business terms across all key deal components
with third-party vendors leveraged by The Roku Channel. They also
manage vendor onboarding along with associated payments and
purchase requisitions. The ideal candidate should have experience
and/or direct exposure to vendors or has served in an external
client support role in the media and tech space (OTT a plus).
This role will also work cross-functionally with business
stakeholders at all levels. Stakeholders range in disciplines, and
include technical, product, marketing, creative, finance, and
business strategy. As such, the tools, systems, and workflows
required to ensure operational efficiency and scale will vary. A
technical understanding of how systems communicate and vendor
integration into Roku's content pipeline will be important. This
role will partner heavily with legal, finance, and IT. In addition,
this role will support other process improvement initiatives that
flow through the TRC Business Operations team. Someone who is
inquisitive, pragmatic, and detail-oriented will thrive in this
role.
Our business is fast paced, requiring the ability to work
autonomously with minimal supervision in an ever-changing
environment. The right mix of organizational and communication
skills will be the key to success. Attention to detail and a proven
ability to manage priorities are also essential.
What You'll Be Doing
Support deal leads in deal preparation and negotiations by
gathering, distilling, and documenting business requirements,
organizing and coordinating vendor outreach and responses to RFPs,
and initiating contract execution workflows.
Oversee the creation and maintenance of relevant documentation and
training resources related to procurement and vendor
management.
Manage payments and purchase requisitions for all vendors.
Provide supplemental support for other key initiatives flowing
through the Business Operations team related to Procurement.

Interest in learning the nuances of the streaming space, and
lending a hand where needed
Detail-oriented, analytical, methodical, and committed to driving
quality forward.
Superb communication skills - verbal, written, and presentation
with ease and fluidity between technical and business topics.
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.
