Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Measurement Science to lead a small, high-impact team delivering measurement studies and proactive insights to our key accounts. This is a client-facing leadership role that also leads and manages a small portfolio of your own key accounts. You will manage day‑to‑day workflow, own key deliverables, and partner with senior business development leaders to shape measurement strategy. Accounts will largely be focused on the Media & Entertainment vertical (supporting TV networks, streaming services, and movie studios), and may also include supporting non‑entertainment accounts in the automotive, pharmaceutical, or other verticals.

• People Leadership: Manage, coach, mentor, and grow a team of 3 high‑performing and high‑potential Measurement Partners.
• Client Delivery & Insights: Own end‑to‑end strategy, delivery, and fulfillment for a small portfolio of key accounts (1‑2 key accounts). Act as a strategic and operational escalation path for accounts in your direct reports’ portfolios.
• Strategy & Business Partnership: Work closely with sales leaders to define opportunities for proactive outreach and insights delivery to key customers.

Who You Are

• Storytelling is your super power. You are obsessed with turning data into insights and insights into stories that help your customers solve pain points and answer questions.
• You are obsessed with the media industry. You have a deep curiosity and passion for the media, entertainment, film, and TV industries. You have likely worked in entertainment roles in the past, working on marketing teams at TV networks, content or movie studios.
• You are growth‑oriented and service‑minded. You’ve demonstrated a clear growth path in your life and career. You get excited about the opportunity to support, help, and serve customers and you actively seek opportunities to help them solve their challenges.

Required Experience & Skills

• 5-8+ years of experience in consumer insights, audience insights, marketing analytics, or measurement science - preferably working in a major entertainment studio (e.g. Disney, Netflix, Hulu) supporting a marketing or content development team.
• Familiarity with TV and movie measurement solutions, including box office measurement, tune‑in measurement, and audience and content measurement, research, and insights.
• Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools: SQL, Python, BigQuery
• Familiarity with and enthusiasm for building with AI: Claude and Google Suite.

Why Samba

• Work with the richest first‑party TV dataset in the world.
• Lead a team that is genuinely shaping how entertainment brands make decisions.
• Partner with senior BD leaders and collaborate directly with some of the most sophisticated media and entertainment marketers in the world.
• Competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
