Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, 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.
As the primary operational relationship layer between Roku and its Tier 1 content and development partners, we launch, grow, and sustain best-in-class streaming apps across the app lifecycle, from onboarding to EOL. We equally protect Roku’s platform integrity and monetization objectives and advocate for the best viewer experience, while helping partners reach and retain Roku viewers globally.
Partner Engagement collaborates closely with cross-functional teams within Roku, including Content Distribution, Business Development, Commerce, Advertising, Product, and Engineering.
You will own a portfolio of partners across the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria and other EU markets: public service and commercial broadcasters, subscription streaming services, pay-TV operators, and the third-party development agencies that build their apps. In Europe, you will work alongside Partner Engineering, Roku’s technical team for partners, including a Senior Partner Engineer based in London, who owns technical diagnosis and sign-off while you own the relationship, launch plan and incident communication.
This external-facing role needs strong technical fluency, product sense, alongside excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Level: Senior individual contributor, with no direct reports.
Reports to: Director, Partner Engagement, based in New York.
Location and travel: Based in London, in the office Monday to Thursday, with travel of up to 40% across the UK and Europe.
Expected Impact: Partners’ apps in the UK and Europe launch on Roku on schedule and stay healthy after launch, Tier 1 tentpole events run without partner-visible incidents, and partners adopt new Roku platform features and follow Roku’s roadmap recommendations.

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.
