About The Team
Roku’s Revenue Finance team is responsible for revenue recognition across all of Roku’s global businesses. We provide a line-of-sight to topline revenue, for each quarter, at the executive levels and work closely with our business partners to recognize revenue as accurately as possible.
About The Role
The Revenue Analyst will report to the Director of Revenue, Advertising, and work closely with our Advertising Sales, Deal Desk and FP&A teams. This person will primarily be responsible for revenue recognition, and reporting. This position will conduct monthly and quarterly close activities for revenue, validate and reconcile revenue related accounts to various systems, assist in analyzing data. An ideal candidate should possess great attention to detail, thorough knowledge of US-GAAP, and be highly motivated to get things done. We are looking for a high-energy, hands-on individual that has the ability to work independently and cooperatively with other teams in support of the company’s revenue drivers and initiatives.
This position will be based in Austin, TX.
What You’ll Be Doing
Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension). Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs. It's important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter.
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.
