What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager, Identity position at Samba TV?
Samba is an AI-powered media intelligence company on a mission to give marketers the complete picture of their audiences. Our AI indexes media consumption across millions of smart TVs and 2.5 billion web pages, combining that data with third-party signals through the Samba Knowledge Graph, a map of the real interests, behaviors, and purchase intent of 1.5 billion user profiles globally. Brands, agencies, publishers, and platforms use Samba to make smarter decisions across every stage of the marketing funnel.
Samba is seeking a Product Manager to own our identity infrastructure and data connectivity strategy.

Identity is the connective tissue of modern advertising. Our clients need to reach the right audiences with precision and measure outcomes accurately—all while respecting privacy. You'll ensure Samba's identity infrastructure is robust, future-proof, and positioned to unlock the full value of our first-party viewership and behavioral data in a post-cookie world.
