Job Summary

Own Roku\'s measurement leadership, shaping a global ad measurement strategy and 1P capabilities while building a high‑performing, AI‑enabled analytics organization that informs executive decisions and client strategies.

  • Own and scale Roku\'s measurement discipline across brand and performance, from brand lift to MMM, and translate 1P data into differentiated advertiser insights with AI-augmented workflows.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of talented measurement and analytics leads across verticals and measurement disciplines.
  • Define team structure and career development frameworks to build and retain top-tier measurement talent and ensure the team is best supporting Roku’s sales arm and client set
  • Foster a culture of intellectual rigor, curiosity, collaboration, and ownership — and champion a team-wide shift toward AI-augmented ways of working.
  • Set clear goals and operating rhythms; drive accountability against team OKRs and business outcomes.
  • Define and own Roku's comprehensive ad measurement strategy, spanning brand lift, reach & frequency, incremental reach, sales lift, attention, attribution, and media mix modeling — built to serve both brand and performance marketers, across Enterprise, Indy and M&E.
  • Drive the evolution of Roku's 1P measurement capabilities, leveraging ACR data, platform-level streaming behavior, and audience insights to build differentiated solutions unavailable elsewhere. Work in conjunction with product and CS to scale these solutions for all advertisers.
  • Inspire with market exclusive audience insights that only Roku can provide – making the industry and our clients more knowledgeable
  • Develop thought leadership content, Insights, narratives, meta-analyses, and cross-vertical case studies that demonstrate Roku's platform differentiation and drive market-wide influence.
  • Stay at the forefront of industry measurement trends to ensure Roku's offering leads rather than follows and work closely with product and business development on a roadmap to meet advertiser needs
  • Serve as a senior executive sponsor in strategic measurement conversations with top-tier advertisers, holding companies, and agency analytics teams — including presenting at the C-suite level.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in advertising measurement, analytics, research, or a closely related field; deep expertise in TV, CTV, or streaming measurement is strongly preferred.
  • 10+ years of people management experience, including leading senior individual contributors and managers; demonstrated ability to build, scale, and retain high-performing teams.
  • Proven track record of defining and executing measurement strategy at an executive level within a media company, measurement vendor, or major advertiser/agency.
  • Experience serving as a cross-functional bridge — aligning Sales, Product, Data Science, and Client Services around a shared measurement agenda and ensuring insights move across organizational boundaries into action.
  • Experience supporting both brand advertisers (awareness, consideration, brand health) and performance advertisers (ROAS, attribution, sales incrementality) with distinct but complementary measurement frameworks.
  • Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives across Product, Engineering, Sales, and external partners simultaneously.
  • Deep expertise across the full measurement stack: brand lift, reach & frequency (1P and 3P), incremental reach, sales lift, attribution (MTA, MMM), and audience analytics — with fluency across both brand and performance use cases.
  • Hands-on experience with leading 3P measurement providers including Kantar, iSpot, NCS/NielsenIQ, comScore, Experian, InMarket, EDO, and others.
  • Strong command of Roku's or comparable 1P data assets (ACR, streaming behavior, platform audience data) and ability to translate them into differentiated insights.
  • Demonstrated AI fluency — active, hands-on experience deploying AI tools (LLMs, AI agents, automation platforms) to increase team output, reduce manual effort, and scale insight delivery.
