Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, 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's Content FP&A team is the financial engine behind The Roku Channel (TRC) — Roku's ad-supported streaming service and one of the largest and fastest-growing AVOD businesses in the U.S. We sit at the intersection of content, technology, and finance, partnering with Engineering, Platform Operations, Content Strategy, and Content Acquisition to drive decisions on how Roku invests in, operates, and grows TRC. The team supports forecasting and budgeting, monthly close, business case development, and KPI reporting across TRC's content and infrastructure cost lines.

About the role

Roku's FP&A team is looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to own the financial model for TRC's cloud infrastructure costs (OVP COGS), serve as the FP&A point person for TRC's FAST and International businesses, and execute monthly close support across a broad set of content cost lines. You'll be a key finance partner for Platform Operations and Engineering on OVP cost questions — building the models, tracking performance, and delivering the analysis that informs infrastructure decisions affecting tens of millions in annual spend. This role will evolve as AI transforms financial analysis. We want someone who's excited about that — not just comfortable with new tools, but eager to rethink how FP&A work gets done. If you're the kind of person who automates the repetitive stuff so you can spend more time on the work that actually matters, you'll thrive here.

For California Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $125,000 and 135,000 annually. Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location. This role is eligible for health insurance, equity awards, life insurance, disability benefits, parental leave, wellness benefits, and paid time off.

What you'll be doing

Own the OVP cost model covering TRC's cloud infrastructure, tracking monthly efficiency ratios and presenting findings to Engineering and Operations leadership
Monitor vendor-level spend via vendor dashboards; allocate costs across business units and support contract renewals and rate negotiations, quantifying financial impact
Build and maintain the TRC FAST streaming hours forecast incorporating channel launch assumptions, seasonal demand, and content investment uplift
Deliver monthly and quarterly variance analyses across OVP COGS and content cost lines — explain what happened, why it matters, and what to do about it
Execute all monthly close deliverables including cost allocations, accruals, and product segment reclasses
Serve as FP&A point person for TRC's International business — KPI review, P&L analysis, and forecast support
Build business cases and ROI analyses to support major operational and infrastructure decisions, with exposure to Director and VP-level stakeholders
Partner with Content Strategy, Content Acquisition, and Platform Operations to provide financial perspective that informs programming and infrastructure decisions
Identify ways to improve the speed, accuracy, and usefulness of financial reporting — including leveraging AI and automation tools to streamline workflows

We're excited if you have

3+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related analytical role
Strong financial modeling skills — fluent in Excel and comfortable building models from scratch and maintaining them over time
Experience with variance analysis, budgeting, and forecasting in a business with recurring close cycles
Clear communication skills with the ability to translate complex cost dynamics into business insights for non-finance audiences including Engineering and Operations partners
Intellectual curiosity — you dig into the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "what"
Bias for action and ability to manage multiple recurring deliverables under tight deadlines without sacrificing accuracy
Genuine interest in how AI and automation are changing knowledge work — you don't need to be an expert, but you should be experimenting
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field

What should I know about Roku's 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 have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea.

That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
