WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Innovate, Build, Iterate, Launch - You will proactively identify insights and data gaps in the global media landscape, and build automated solutions to fill those gaps. These solutions will include “scrappy,” prototype-style insights products (e.g. dashboards, LLM retrieval interfaces) that can be tested with sellers and customers, and sent to production when there is opportunity for scaled monetization.
- Ideate and Deliver Bespoke, Consultative Insights - You will work collaboratively with sellers, sales engineers, product teams, and data scientists to ideate and deliver bespoke insights, service, or data solutions that add value and deliver ROI for Samba’s most strategic, high-value customers.
- Deliver Standardized Insights Reports & Improve Retrieval for Internal Teams - You will support business development teams by delivering standardized insights that sales teams will use in prospecting, pitches, customer outreach, and more. You will proactively improve the retrieval methods for standardized reports and recurring insights requests to enable self-service insights at scale among sellers

What We Do
Television remains a vibrant cultural influence and an essential source of entertainment and information worldwide. Tremendous growth in content choices, and viewing platforms that allow us to watch anything, anytime, on any screen, has actually made it harder for viewers to discover and keep up with all the great programming available. It’s also more competitive for content providers to keep your attention, and for marketers to make strong, measurable connections with their target consumers.
Technology that improves the viewing experience, enables content discovery, and addresses audience fragmentation across screens will strengthen television’s business model and relevance to consumers. Data is at the center of any solution to make TV better.
Samba TV's technology is built into Smart TVs and easily maps to smart phones and tablets. By recognizing what's on screen, Samba TV learns what viewers like and using machine learning algorithms, enables discovery of shows and actors in a whole new way. Likewise, our data and measurement products are transforming the way stakeholders across the media landscape are thinking about their business. Given the dramatic growth in streaming services, connected devices, time-shifting, and multi-screen viewership, our data products solve real problems and create a meaningful competitive advantage for our clients.
