Rokt’star Handbook
Here at Rokt, we are a mission-driven, hyper-growth community of curious explorers, intent on unleashing the potential of ecommerce and the full potential of every Rokt’star (which is what we call our Rokt team members). We recruit bold thinkers, from a range of backgrounds, and work together as one single aligned team. We value diversity, transparency, and smart humble people who enjoy building a disruptive business. We are not afraid to venture into uncharted territories, take risks, or challenge the status quo. We pride ourselves on being a force for good and work towards unleashing potential to make the world simpler and fairer.
If you are interested in being part of our journey, or want to learn more about the world-class benefits and training we offer to every Rokt’star, you can find out more in our handbook below, or our culture, diversity, and career pages. Alternatively, come visit us and see for yourself. We’d love to meet you!
There are plenty of organizations that use words like tapping ‘the potential of their people’ or ‘unlocking what's possible’ but I haven’t found any organization that has dedicated as much to doing it; what we call unleashing potential.”

Rokt’star Handbook
At Rokt, we know the only way we will unleash the potential of our business is by unleashing the potential of every Rokt'star. That's a commitment we make to each and every person that works with us, and this handbook is a summary of the benefits, policies, and procedures we use to put our values into practice every day.

Transparency
We prioritize building a people-first culture and empowering everyone to have an equal voice. Transparency is embedded in every aspect of the company, from salaries to publishing this handbook, weekly CEO reports, bi-monthly global events and our annual conference.
Career ladder
All employees have access to Rokt’s Career Ladder, a wage transparency document that outlines the necessary skills for each role and the salary and stocks/equity associated with each position. All Rokt’stars, at all levels globally, are able to see the salaries and skills for every position in every department. This document is re-evaluated quarterly to ensure economic changes are considered and Rokt’stars are competitively compensated. Employees in the same role receive identical compensation regardless of their gender, race, or negotiation skills.
Open doors and office hours
Bruce Buchanan, our Founder and CEO, hosts regular office hours for employee questions and discussions. In addition, there are multiple other channels for employees to ask questions, share ideas, and be heard. Employees are encouraged to submit questions (anonymously if they like) via SuggestionOX or Google Chat which are answered by our executive teams openly and truthfully.
Equality, diversity, & inclusion
Fostering a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion is more than just the right thing to do, it is fundamental to Rokt’s success. We believe our collective strength comes from diversity – diversity of thought, gender, culture, ethnicity, race and socio-economic backgrounds among others – which is why we strive to make Rokt an inclusive space for everyone.
Equality
We believe diversity of perspectives and experiences drive innovation and problem solving. There is no place at Rokt for discrimination, harassment, or unequal treatment of any kind.
Diversity
We celebrate having a diverse group of Rokt’stars who want to recognize days that are culturally or religiously important to them. We recently launched a program where Rokt’stars have a flexible public holiday structure to allow them to choose their own public holidays. Employees can select time off for holidays that are meaningful to them.
Inclusion
Rok’ts LGBTQIA+ programming is led by our employee group, Rainbow Rokts, whose mission is to create a safe space for colleagues searching for a sense of community, build a platform for education, awareness, personal growth, and aid to the LGBTQIA+ community outside of Rokt.
Our benefits
We strive to provide Rokt’stars and their loved ones with best in class benefits that are thoughtfully designed to support the physical, financial, developmental and emotional wellbeing of our Rokt’stars.
Health & wellness
We care a great deal about our Rokt’stars. We provide a variety of health (physical and mental) care programs including a zero cost monthly premium option in the US and a monthly Wellness allowance.
Equity
All Rokt’stars have stock options. If we succeed, everyone is rewarded. Our US employees also have access to retirement plans with a 4% dollar-for-dollar 401K matching plan.
Learning & development
We are committed to investing in our employees and their development through ongoing training, education, and coaching.
Every Rokt’star receives an annual ‘Level Up’ training allowance, which allows them to choose from a suite of Executive Coaches, personalized specialist training, conferences and events. We surround this bespoke support with scheduled monthly training for our people leaders, bi-monthly global events and our annual conference.
Work-life balance
20 paid days off plus 5 extra high-five days and 16 paid weeks of parental leave, and volunteer days for all employees.
Additionally, we have partnered with an acclaimed nutritionist and biochemist to run monthly wellbeing sessions, open to all Rokt'stars, on energy, movement, sleep, focus and stress management. We also offer a hybrid work environment with 3 days a week in the office, in addition to the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world one week per quarter.
We’re proud of what we have built in our first decade and look forward to continuing to execute our vision of unleashing relevancy in ecommerce, and unleashing the full potential of our Rokt’stars, into the next decade and beyond.
