WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead and manage two sub-teams: Measurement Analysts and Measurement Operations, spanning offshore and contract resources across time zones.
- Design and optimize end-to-end operational workflows for data query execution, pixel implementation, and study delivery using frameworks like Six Sigma, Agile, and Scrum — applying the right methodology for each challenge.
- Own quality control standards across all measurement deliverables, including discrepancy reporting, pixel tagging best practices, and troubleshooting.
- Drive capacity planning, sprint prioritization, and workload distribution across both teams using JIRA.
- Partner with Measurement Science leadership to reduce study delivery timelines and scale operational throughput in support of global expansion.
- Develop and maintain SQL/Python/Databricks-based operational workflows and data pipelines to support scalable, repeatable measurement execution.
- Build a meritocratic team culture: mentor high potentials, recognize top performers, and coach opportunity areas with speed and candor.
- Report on team utilization, delivery velocity, and quality metrics to senior leadership.
WHO YOU ARE

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.
