Roku's Home and Discovery team owns the experience that connects users to content across the entire TV platform, from the Home Screen to browse surfaces to the content details pages where viewing decisions happen.
What is the role?
As a Senior Product Manager for Content Conversion, you will focus on building experiences that help viewers more easily choose and engage with content across Roku. The moment a user reaches a piece of content is one of the most valuable on the Roku platform, and what happens next determines whether that intent becomes a streaming session, a subscription, or a missed opportunity.
This role owns that critical conversion moment and the strategy behind it. The foundation exists, but the next chapter is largely unwritten, and as content catalogs grow, user expectations evolve, and AI opens new possibilities for personalization and content understanding, conversion is one of the most open product spaces on the platform. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone ready to define what the future of content conversion looks like at Roku.

Strong candidates know how to frame problems, guide AI-assisted work, check the output, and learn quickly. Above all, they bring curiosity, adaptability, and sound judgment.

- Own the product strategy and roadmap for content conversion, defining the vision, priorities, and roadmap across the lower-funnel conversion experience and leading expansion to new types of platform content
- Drive conversion outcomes by owning the metrics that define success in this area, including content conversion rate, bounce rate from details pages, and revenue per conversion, and build a roadmap explicitly tied to moving them

- Own watch options and entitlements, ensuring users can find, understand, and act on their viewing options with minimal friction at the moment of decision, and own the strategic trade-offs that maximize value across watch options
- Lead rigorous experimentation end-to-end by designing and owning A/B tests from hypothesis through decision, defining primary and guardrail metrics before tests launch, and driving every test to a concrete product or roadmap decision
- Identify and close conversion gaps using qualitative and quantitative signals to find where users are dropping off and why, then build solutions with clear, data-backed impact estimates
- Collaborate early with engineering, design, data science, and monetization to shape plans before they are final so teams are building together
- Communicate with clarity and precision by writing crisp specs, strategies, and updates, and presenting trade-offs and recommendations to leadership with confidence

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 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.
