About the role
The People & Program Operations team is comprised of trusted consultants to our People Partners and the business leaders at Roku. We are responsible for all aspects of the employee's journey while working at Roku, from onboarding through payroll to implementing, administering, and evolving compensation and benefits programs across Roku globally.
We are looking for a People Operations Specialist (HR Operations Specialist) to join us in the UK. We are looking for someone to join our global team as we scale and improve programs for our current employees and develop innovative programs for our rapid business growth globally.

In this role, the ideal candidate will assist in implementing and administrating scalable HR processes, policies, and practices for most countries where the company operates.

The Roku 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.
