• Participate in brainstorms, reviews, and feedback sessions; respond thoughtfully to feedback and improve work through iteration.
• Apply strong judgment and attention to detail to ensure copy is accurate, on-brand, audience-appropriate, and fit for each channel.
• Help identify opportunities to improve creative workflows, including thoughtful use of AI and automation to increase speed without compromising quality.
• Act as a brand steward by maintaining consistency in Roku’s voice, tone, messaging, and standards across all assigned work.
