• Attribution frameworks: Define and evolve attribution approaches for CTV performance advertising, including post-view attribution, cross-device and cross-channel considerations, and measurement windows appropriate for video-led demand generation 
• Incrementality and lift measurement: Build products that enable advertisers to measure true incremental impact, including experimental design, holdouts, lift studies, and causal measurement approaches that go beyond last-touch metrics 
• Outcome-driven product metrics: Establish success metrics that tie ad exposure and optimization to advertiser outcomes, such as incremental conversions, return on ad spend, and downstream business impact 
• Scalable, advertiser-ready products: Translate complex modeling and measurement systems into intuitive, scalable products that advertisers and sales teams can understand, trust, and adopt 
• Cross-functional leadership: Lead cross-functional execution across product, engineering, data science, sales, and operations, aligning stakeholders on strategy, tradeoffs, and roadmap priorities

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.
