The future will not be televised. It will be streamed. Help us make it happen.
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 team
Roku is in growth mode, which requires someone like you to continue building out our world-class People organization. This isn't just "keeping things moving." As Roku enters new markets, we will be looking to you for expertise in helping us scale our HR processes.
The successful candidate will deliver a full spectrum of HR deliverables that align with the business's strategic goals. You will have experience working with HR systems, confidential employee data and strong project management skills. Ideally, the People Specialist will have a strong desire to grow into a global People (HR) Business Partner in a high growth, fast-paced environment. The role will provide a broad exposure to the different facets of the People Business Partner function and offers the opportunity to take on challenges while accelerating your learning.
The work we do can be challenging, but that's why we enjoy it so much. The ideal candidate isn't a bystander. They are curious and engaged, willing to jump in to solve problems and make data-driven decisions even when things feel very ambiguous. Our industry changes quickly, so we expect a great candidate to be comfortable responding quickly to changing business needs, knowing that their own success comes when the team succeeds.
What you'll be doing
- You'll be partnering with the People Business Partner team to align HR deliverables with business strategy, which includes bringing best practice and external perspectives to our processes.
- You'll partner cross-functionally with teams across HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Learning & Development, Legal, Compensation, Benefits, and Compliance to help integrate people solutions.
- Utilize our HR systems and tools to quickly and effectively manage employee data across all business areas.
- Serve as a project manager on a wide variety of tasks that directly impact our workforce.
- Because everyone is empowered, your success will come from collaborating and influencing others, regardless of title or level, to drive the company forward.
- Every individual at Roku is expected to look at what exists and find ways to make it better. We're always in "build mode" because we're a company of data-focused builders, even on the HR team.
We're excited if you have
- The equivalent of 3 years relevant HR experience, ideally supporting People (HR) Business Partner teams in a high growth technology and/or media environment.
- Knowledge of general human resources policies and procedures.
- Experience problem solving, working with confidential employee data and familiarity with HRIS systems which will be seen as critical in this role.
- Ability to handle multiple priorities simultaneously and navigate successfully in a rapidly changing, and at times unstructured, environment.
- The desire to grow into a strategic and results driven HR Business Partner.
- We expect that everyone who works here displays uncompromising integrity and ethics at every level. This requires more transparency and bluntness than you might see in other companies, but we see it as a way to foster trust across all elements of the company, enabling us to grow better and faster.
- In order to be effective at Roku, you need to be a strong communicator, which means being able to describe issues and solutions to various audiences.
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.
