About The Position

Roku is seeking a Senior Manager, Customer Intelligence to lead a high-impact technical team and serve as a strategic intelligence partner to senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders. This role is business-forward and goes beyond traditional analytics leadership — it sits at the intersection of technical depth and strategic activation. You will own a focused set of high-value workstreams including customer segmentation, causal impact measurement, retention analytics, and activation reporting, while managing dedicated analytical and engineering contributors who build the systems and infrastructure that make this work scalable across the organization. The ideal candidate brings meaningful experience in technical analytical environments and has progressed toward using intelligence to shape strategy, influence decisions, and build organizational capability. You set a high bar for output quality, executive-ready storytelling, and strategic thinking — and you champion AI-powered ways of working as a core part of how your team operates. This is a leadership role for someone who is visionary about where analytics is headed and pragmatic about how to get there.

Demonstrated experience driving business impact through insights — influencing decisions, shaping strategy, and changing outcomes at a senior level
