What is the role?
The Manager, Financial Operations will lead the day-to-day execution of financial close operations, multi-partner reconciliation, data pipeline governance, and operational reporting within Roku's Revenue Infrastructure function. This role owns the hands-on delivery of reconciliation workflows, journal entry execution, exception management, data quality assurance, and operational analytics that underpin Commerce Platform financial integrity. Operating as the execution arm of the Financial Systems & Controls pillar, this leader ensures that month-end close, daily reconciliation, partner settlement validation, and financial data operations are completed accurately, on time, and with full auditability. The role manages a team of Financial Operations Analysts and partners closely with Revenue Accounting, Treasury, Platform Engineering, and Payment Operations to deliver reliable, scalable financial operations across the Commerce ecosystem. This role bridges the gap between strategic financial architecture and the analyst-level execution that delivers production outcomes. The ideal candidate combines strong operational execution discipline with financial systems knowledge, SQL/Python proficiency, reconciliation expertise, and people management experience in high-volume commerce, payments, fintech, or subscription environments.
How will I use AI at Roku?
At Roku, we don't just use AI, we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability.
We value curious, adaptable builders, who can show how they've used AI, agents, or automation to move faster, improve quality, and scale their impact. 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.

- Set clear expectations and allocate daily workload across reconciliation, close, data operations, and reporting; follow up and track every deliverable to closure
- Review and quality-check the team's deliverables (reconciliations, journals, dashboards, reports) before release — hold the bar on accuracy, timeliness, and documentation
- Drive skill development in SQL, Python, financial analysis, and reconciliation methodologies; conduct regular one-on-ones and career development conversations
- Run daily connects / standups with the India team, plan and track work, remove blockers, and ensure operational continuity during US business hours
- Proactively identify manual, repetitive, or error-prone areas and direct the team to build automation (Python scripts, Airflow DAGs, SQL procedures) that reduces toil
- Champion AI adoption within the team — leverage AI tools to accelerate development, surface patterns in data, and improve productivity
- Define and track monthly KPIs and performance metrics for the team — throughput, error rates, SLA adherence, and automation coverage
- Foster an analytical, data-driven mindset — encourage hypothesis-driven investigation, evidence-based decisions, and connecting the dots across workflows
- Build a culture of documentation and knowledge sharing — ensure processes are organized, repeatable, and not dependent on any single individual

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.
