Sales Development Representative, Ads Manager
About The Position
The world is cutting the cord and streaming its TV online, a shift that has dramatically changed how advertisers target, reach and measure their preferred audiences in ways that broadcast TV and cable never could. Roku Ads Manager is our answer to the growing demand in streaming advertising. Our self-serve platform just entered General Availability (GA) in September 2024 and has picked up major momentum. Our Ads Manager team is small, gritty, and focused on scaling the best streaming ad platform in the market. We move fast, pivot quickly, and work hard. We rally around decisions, challenge assumptions, and push the limits on what advertising can do for growth marketers, performance agencies, and any other business interested in making the big screen work for their brands’ objectives. The Roku Ads Manager team is looking for a Sales Development Representative to help us scale our platform. TV ads were once reserved for large national brands. Roku believes that it’s better for streamers, brands, and our company that all businesses have a path to advertising in streaming. Roku Ads Manager is our answer to democratizing streaming advertising, creating a self-serve path for businesses of any size to get their brand on the big screen. Roku Ads Manager is looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to help lead demand generation and client growth for our self-serve streaming ad platform. This role will join two existing SDRs and will play a crucial role in attracting and onboarding new advertisers, ensuring their success on the platform, and driving revenue growth. Sound like fun?
