About the team and role

Roku, Inc. is seeking an experienced and self-motivated attorney with a strong understanding of data privacy and consumer protection laws to join its legal team.

This position is an opportunity to provide legal guidance on some of the most interesting and novel issues arising in the TV streaming industry, and to support Roku’s products and services from the initial stages of design and development through launch and implementation.

The successful candidate should have a strong working knowledge of global privacy and data security laws and regulations, experience supporting product launches and a demonstrated ability to translate legal requirements into actionable advice for Product, User Experience and Engineering teams.

You should have a good, general understanding of online media, digital advertising technology, Internet technology and cloud computing technology, and prior experience implementing privacy-by-design principles.

The successful candidate will have keen analytical abilities and excellent judgment, a pragmatic approach to problem solving, flexibility to adapt and thrive in an environment that is constantly changing, and the ability to make smart decisions in the face of ambiguity and imperfect information.

The role requires an entrepreneurial mindset that enables you to work independently. This is an amazing opportunity to play a key role in supporting the company’s rapid growth.

In this role, you will :

  • Work closely with the Product and Engineering teams developing Roku’s consumer electronics and Roku’s streaming platform on solutions that proactively manage legal risk while advancing our business goals and protecting our users around the world.
  • Advise on privacy and data security terms for agreements relating to content and digital product distribution.
  • Provide guidance on a wide range of legal issues, including consumer protection, privacy, and data protection laws, to ensure that Roku follows U.

S. and international legal requirements, as well as industry best practices, through the application of privacy-by-design principles.

  • Review user flows and user journeys, product feature guides, advertising collateral, promotions, and other user-facing communications to ensure compliance with applicable data protection, consumer protection and advertising laws, regulations, and standards.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with a wide variety of Roku business units, including the end user experience, devices, mobile, web, ad product, programming, content and services, engineering, marketing and customer support teams.
  • Help develop scalable processes for legal review of new product launches.
  • Keep up to date on the latest developments in the laws, regulations, and industry trends applicable to media, ad tech, Big Data, OTT, IOT and smart devices, including federal and state data privacy laws, consumer protection laws, and other guidance from relevant agencies.
  • Work closely with other members of the legal team to address the company’s broader data collection, storage, use and transfer practices.
  • Support Roku’s privacy compliance efforts as needed.

We’re excited if you have

  • At least 6 years of experience as a practicing attorney.
  • Significant in-house experience advising on data privacy, data protection and the legal and regulatory aspects of product development in the technology space (experience at a consumer-facing, Internet company preferred).
  • Strong working knowledge of global privacy and data security laws. Experience with other consumer laws a plus.
  • Familiarity with content and digital product distribution agreements, including MVPD, DMVPD, and application development agreement (e.

g., Apple, Google, etc.).

  • A passion for technology and ability to understand complex technology and product use cases quickly.
  • Bachelor’s degree and a Juris Doctorate degree from a U.S. accredited law school.
  • Licensed to practice law in the U.S.

Benefits

Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families.

Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k) / pension).

Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs.

It's important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter.

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.
