Teamwork makes the stream work.
Roku is changing how the world watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. Our mission is to be the TV streaming platform that connects the entire TV ecosystem. We connect consumers to the content they love, enable content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers unique capabilities to engage consumers.
From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.
About the team
Roku is constantly innovating and finding new ways to provide new value for our customers, and Roku's Retail Sales team is responsible for driving the growth of Roku's retail products and programs by bringing our device portfolio to market through the country's largest retail partners. We manage the commercial relationships, in-store presence, and sell-through performance that connect Roku products to millions of customers every day.
About the role
We're looking for a National Account Manager to own Roku's relationship with Walmart. This is a full-stack commercial role: you'll help inform strategy, build relationships, and drive execution across pricing, promotion, product placement, and sell-through. You'll be the internal voice of Walmart and the external face of Roku, and you'll be expected to bring both perspectives to the table. This role will require frequent travel to Bentonville, AR to meet with partners and stakeholders in the area.
As the primary contact for Roku devices at Walmart, you’ll be responsible for achieving annual and quarterly revenue goals and for planning and executing category roadmaps that deliver on pricing, promotion, and product placement objectives.
We're not necessarily looking for someone who already knows everything about the TV business. We're looking for someone who has won at Walmart in a competitive category and knows how to build on that success. If you've driven results at the world's largest retailer and you're excited about learning a new space, this role was built for you.
For Remote US Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $191,000 - $224,000 annually.

Proven track record of hitting revenue targets and growing a business at Walmart, regardless of category

Ability to operate strategically and get into the details — you can build a Joint Business Plan (JBP) and pull a Point-of-Sale (POS) report
Comfort building cases from data (POS, share, margin, promo ROI) and translating insights into clear recommendations
Can think strategically, but can dig in to answer questions and get the details in order to ensure the strategy can be realized
Enjoy working cross-functionally, but can also work independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
Take a long-term view when evaluating opportunities and setting priorities for Walmart and Roku’s broader retail portfolio
