What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager, Identity position at Samba TV?
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.
Samba is seeking a Product Manager to own our identity infrastructure and data connectivity strategy. You'll be responsible for how we connect, resolve, and activate identifiers across our proprietary TV viewership data, web behavioral data, third-party assets (both partners and clients) and the evolving identity landscape. This role sits at the foundation of everything we do—enabling precise audience targeting, accurate measurement, and seamless data interoperability across platforms.
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.
