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.

Reporting to our VP of Data Science, Samba is looking for a Director of Data Science to lead our Measurement science team - the group responsible for building the statistical frameworks, causal models, and attribution methodologies that power Samba's core measurement products. You will own the science and delivery for a portfolio spanning incrementality measurement, multi-touch attribution, reach and frequency modeling, and audience intelligence, working closely with Product to shape direction and with Engineering to bring solutions to production.

You are a senior technical leader first. You bring deep, hands-on expertise in causal ML, statistical modeling, and measurement science - enough to drive architectural decisions, mentor senior data scientists, and engage credibly in design reviews. You also know how to build and run a high-performing team, communicate clearly to executive and external audiences, and keep complex multi-workstream delivery on track.
