Working alongside Product Management, you will own program execution – building and leading cross-functional teams of stakeholders to deliver your products on time, on budget, and with the highest quality experience possible for customers.  As owner of these efforts, you will oversee all aspects of new product development, go-to-market planning, product acceptance testing, and post launch monitoring.

• Identifying and driving process improvements that reduce risk and improve efficiency for all aspects of new product development

We’re excited if you have

• 3+ years in leadership or engineering program management
• An MS/BS ideally in engineering or related technical discipline
• The flexibility to thrive in a dynamic environment…no two days at Roku are ever the same
• Solid chops in leading the delivery of multiple cross-functional and multi-workstream programs
