Collectively, these products reach millions of users daily, creating valuable advertising inventory and engagement opportunities throughout the entire Roku ecosystem.
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the development of performance-driven video ad solutions across Roku's large-scale in-stream, pre-roll, and post-roll inventory. You will own products that help advertisers achieve measurable business outcomes by combining Roku's reach and first-party data with predictive modeling, attribution, and incrementality measurement.
This role sits at the intersection of ad delivery, measurement, and optimization. You will define how performance is measured and improved on connected TV, building systems that translate exposure to outcomes, inform bidding and optimization, and prove incremental impact across channels.
For California Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $176,163 - $297,500 annually. Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location.

What you'll be doing
- Performance video solutions: Own product capabilities that enable advertisers to drive and optimize toward performance outcomes using Roku's in-stream, pre-roll, and post-roll video inventory
- Prediction and optimization models: Partner with data science and engineering to define and productize predictive models for outcomes such as conversion likelihood, response probability, and marginal lift, and integrate those models into delivery, pacing, and optimization workflows
- 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
- Ecosystem-level thinking: Anticipate how performance solutions interact with bidding, pricing, inventory allocation, and viewer experience, and make informed tradeoffs that support long-term platform health
We're excited if you have
- 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex or platform-scale products
- Proven experience defining product strategy and driving execution in ambiguous environments
- Strong background in digital advertising, media, marketplaces, or data-driven platforms
- Excellent analytical and decision-making skills with a track record of delivering measurable impact

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.
