About the role

Original posting from Sambatv via Lever

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. 

As a Senior Programmatic Account Manager on Samba TV's Key Accounts team, you'll own the most strategic Media & Entertainment relationships in our book of business — the studios, streamers, networks, and gaming brands that drive cultural conversation, plus their agency partners across the major holding companies (WPP, Omnicom/OMG, Publicis, Dentsu, Havas) and brand-direct teams. You'll ensure these partners derive maximum value from Samba's audience targeting and measurement solutions during the moments that matter most: theatrical openings, series premieres, tune-in windows, and franchise tentpoles. You'll work closely with Sales to grow these accounts, drive sophisticated activation strategies across HoldCo and brand-direct workflows, and deliver a seamless experience across planning, activation, and measurement. Your efforts will directly impact retention and growth of Samba's highest-value M&E accounts.

Location requirement: Must live within 50 miles of a Samba office. Required in office 3 days a week (Tuesday through Thursday), moving to 4 days a week (Monday through Thursday) starting January 4th, 2027, with the possibility of moving to 5 days a week in office after that.
