Senior Financial Analyst

About the team

Roku's Content FP&A team is the financial engine behind The Roku Channel (TRC) — Roku's ad-supported streaming service and one of the largest and fastest-growing AVOD businesses in the U.S. We sit at the intersection of content, technology, and finance, partnering with Engineering, Platform Operations, Content Strategy, and Content Acquisition to drive decisions on how Roku invests in, operates, and grows TRC. The team supports forecasting and budgeting, monthly close, business case development, and KPI reporting across TRC's content and infrastructure cost lines.

About the role

Roku's FP&A team is looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to own the financial model for TRC's cloud infrastructure costs (OVP COGS), serve as the FP&A point person for TRC's FAST and International businesses, and execute monthly close support across a broad set of content cost lines. You'll be a key finance partner for Platform Operations and Engineering on OVP cost questions — building the models, tracking performance, and delivering the analysis that informs infrastructure decisions affecting tens of millions in annual spend. This role will evolve as AI transforms financial analysis. We want someone who's excited about that — not just comfortable with new tools, but eager to rethink how FP&A work gets done.

Responsibilities

• Own the OVP cost model covering TRC's cloud infrastructure, tracking monthly efficiency ratios and presenting findings to Engineering and Operations leadership
• Monitor vendor-level spend via vendor dashboards; allocate costs across business units and support contract renewals and rate negotiations, quantifying financial impact
• Build and maintain the TRC FAST streaming hours forecast incorporating channel launch assumptions, seasonal demand, and content investment uplift
• Deliver monthly and quarterly variance analyses across OVP COGS and content cost lines — explain what happened, why it matters, and what to do about it
• Execute all monthly close deliverables including cost allocations, accruals, and product segment reclasses
• Serve as FP&A point person for TRC's International business — KPI review, P&L analysis, and forecast support
• Build business cases and ROI analyses to support major operational and infrastructure decisions, with exposure to Director and VP-level stakeholders
• Partner with Content Strategy, Content Acquisition, and Platform Operations to provide financial perspective that informs programming and infrastructure decisions
• Identify ways to improve the speed, accuracy, and usefulness of financial reporting — including leveraging AI and automation tools to streamline workflows

Requirements

3+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related analytical role

Strong financial modeling skills — fluent in Excel and comfortable building models from scratch and maintaining them over time

Experience with variance analysis, budgeting, and forecasting in a business with recurring close cycles

Clear communication skills with the ability to translate complex cost dynamics into business insights for non-finance audiences including Engineering and Operations partners

Intellectual curiosity — you dig into the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "what"

Bias for action and ability to manage multiple recurring deliverables under tight deadlines without sacrificing accuracy

Genuine interest in how AI and automation are changing knowledge work — you don't need to be an expert, but you should be experimenting

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
