You understand how growth marketers evaluate platforms, what drives adoption of new buying products, and how to translate complex ad tech into something a sales team can confidently sell. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role. You'll operate with autonomy, move fast, and own the commercialization and triage work that determines whether Roku's performance advertising platform becomes a must-buy for growth marketers.
