Job description

Samba connects the advertising industry. Today, a trillion dollars of media flows through platforms that don't talk to each other, and each one measures its own results. We built the independent alternative: consented first-party data and AI that give the world's biggest advertisers, publishers, and platforms one clear view across all of it.

The next era of advertising will run on AI agents, and those agents will need data they can trust. We're building that foundation, and the agents that act on it. Join us and help build what the industry runs on.

About the Role

You own the product roadmap for identity resolution, graph management, and cross-platform identifier strategies at Samba, working with engineering, data science, sales, and client success to prioritize identity capabilities that unlock new revenue and improve match rates.

What You'll Do

• Own the Identity Roadmap: Own the product roadmap for identity resolution, graph management, and cross-platform identifier strategies.
• Define Workflows: Define requirements for identity onboarding, matching, and activation workflows based on client needs, privacy standards, and technical constraints.
• Prioritize Capabilities: Work cross-functionally with engineering, data science, sales, and client success teams to prioritize identity capabilities that unlock new revenue and improve match rates.
• Track Industry Shifts: Stay ahead of industry shifts in identity, from the deprecation of third-party cookies to emerging standards like Unified ID 2.0 and RampID and clean room integrations.
• Balance Matching Techniques: Balance innovation in deterministic and probabilistic matching techniques against scalability, accuracy, and compliance requirements.
• Translate Concepts: Translate complex identity concepts into clear product specifications and client-facing value propositions.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of product management experience in adtech, data platforms, or identity-focused products.
• Deep understanding of identity resolution methodologies, graph theory, data onboarding, and privacy-compliant matching techniques.
• Experience shipping identity products or working with identity providers, data clean rooms, or audience platforms.
• A track record of executing, not just strategizing, in fast-moving, data-intensive environments.
• Ability to influence without authority across technical, legal, and commercial stakeholders.
• Hustler mentality: you get things done and know how to navigate the ambiguity of a shifting identity ecosystem.
