About the Role

Roku is seeking an Associate General Counsel, Litigation to manage its non-IP litigation portfolio, including consumer class actions, commercial disputes, and government investigations, with a focus on privacy-related litigation and regulatory enforcement. This role involves end-to-end dispute management, strategy development, and directing outside counsel.

Responsibilities

Own Roku’s corporate litigation portfolio outside of intellectual property — including consumer class actions, commercial and contract disputes, and privacy-related claims under laws such as the VPPA, CIPA and other wiretap-style statutes, BIPA, and CCPA — from intake and early case assessment through resolution
Define case strategy and make recommendations on when to litigate, settle, or escalate, in partnership with the Deputy General Counsel, General Counsel, Legal teammates, and business stakeholders
Manage government investigations and inquiries — from the FTC, state attorneys general, data protection authorities, and other regulators — spanning privacy, consumer protection, advertising, and related areas
Coordinate cross-functional responses to regulatory matters, including with Privacy, Security, Communications, and Government Affairs
Develop novel legal theories and creative litigation strategies for matters that don’t fit a standard playbook, and know when a conventional approach is the right call and when it isn’t
Operate comfortably amid incomplete facts, unsettled law, and genuine uncertainty — and make sound, well-reasoned judgment calls anyway
Write the arguments, memos, and correspondence that move a matter forward — clear, persuasive, and built to withstand scrutiny from a judge, a regulator, or Management
Help build and scale repeatable litigation processes — intake, early case assessment, playbooks, and post-mortems — across the litigation portfolio, consistent with Roku’s broader litigation operating model
Manage outside counsel relationships and budgets across consumer class actions, government investigations, commercial disputes, and privacy litigation, driving efficient, high-quality outcomes
Serve as a trusted advisor to Product, Engineering, Ads, Data/Analytics, and Compliance teams on litigation and privacy risk
Provide clear, decision-ready reporting on litigation exposure, trends, and key matters — including consumer class actions, government investigations, and privacy disputes — to the Deputy General Counsel and senior leadership

Requirements

Substantial experience managing complex litigation at a top-tier law firm or in house — including consumer class actions and government investigations — from case assessment through resolution
Skilled at developing litigation strategy and managing outside counsel to efficient, well-reasoned outcomes
A track record of finding creative, non-obvious solutions to hard legal problems, rather than defaulting to the conventional playbook
Genuinely comfortable operating without a clear precedent or roadmap — able to make sound judgment calls amid incomplete facts, unsettled law, and competing pressures
The ability to write — and think — beautifully. Sentences that are clear, economical, and a pleasure to read, in service of an argument that is airtight underneath
A habit of working out hard problems by writing through them, not just talking around them — the writing is where the thinking gets done, not just where it gets recorded afterward
Outstanding legal writing — clear, persuasive, and fast — across audiences from opposing counsel and regulators to the Board
Excellent verbal communication skills, with the ability to advise senior stakeholders and simplify complex legal concepts
Proven ability to build relationships and operate effectively across a matrixed organization
Strong track record of handling complex legal issues in a fast-paced, technology-driven company
15+ years of combined litigation experience at a law firm, in-house, or both
Direct experience litigating consumer class actions and/or handling government investigations
The drive to solve novel questions of first impression — problems nobody in the building, and maybe nobody yet, has answered
The gift for breaking down complex arguments into simple, elegant narratives that persuade without ever feeling dumbed down
The ability to chart a clear path for the business through thickets of ambiguous laws and regulations
The instinct to find the argument, the angle, or the case theory that nobody else in the room sees
The judgment to know which fights are worth having, and the discipline to make that call and live with it
A reputation as an exceptional legal writer, with work product — briefs, memos, opinions — that speaks for itself and that you're proud to have us read
Experience in high-growth technology or media companies
J.D. from a U.S. accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing
