Roku's IT Infrastructure & Support organization keeps every Roku employee productive and secure, from day-one onboarding through daily support and endpoint protection. We run a modern, cloud-first stack and are actively reshaping IT into an agent-assisted operating model that puts fast, self-serve resolution ahead of ticket queues. This role owns a global slice of the employee support experience through a team based across EMEA and India, and is the primary IT point of contact and escalation point for the EMEA and APAC regions.

Own IT readiness for office moves, expansions, new-site builds, and executive or company events within your regions, and support global events as needed.

Manage IT vendors, contractors, and smart-hands providers in your regions, and track hardware and license consumption.

Champion Roku's shift to an agent-assisted, self-serve IT operating model: identify high-volume, repetitive work suited to automation and help move the team from queue-clearing toward higher-value support and governance.

8+ years in IT support / end-user computing, with 4+ years managing teams, including managing staff remotely across multiple countries and time zones.

Strong service management discipline: SLA ownership, ITSM process design, and experience running a ticketing platform (Jira Service Management or equivalent).

Track record of building metrics-driven support operations and reporting outcomes to senior stakeholders.

Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, comfortable supporting and interfacing with executives and senior leadership.

Able to work effectively across global time zones and travel occasionally between sites.

Exposure to AV / conference-room support at scale (Zoom Rooms and similar).

Relevant certifications (ITIL, Microsoft, Apple) are a plus, not a requirement.

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.
