Job Description

Advertising is a trillion-dollar global industry split into silos that don't talk to each other, and every platform grades its own homework. Samba is the independent layer in the middle. Over the last two decades we built our own technology to understand media at scale, across streaming, linear and the web, in 40+ countries. The Samba Knowledge Graph ties it together: one connected map of content, audiences and outcomes that the industry has never had. As media workflows go agentic, the quality of decisions is only as good as the data behind it. We built the tools to put it to work. Join us this year and help build what the industry runs on.

About the Role

Samba TV is hiring an Associate GTM Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for a set of assigned requisitions — from first sourcing touch through offer stage — while also acting as the day-to-day point of contact for hiring managers on those searches. This is a blended role: half of the job is high-volume sourcing and outreach that you personally execute, and half is the coordination, communication, and process ownership that keeps a search moving without a senior recruiter having to manage it for you.

This is a strong fit for someone who wants to grow into a full-cycle recruiter — you'll get real ownership of requisitions early, direct exposure to hiring managers and leadership, and a clear path to more senior scope as you demonstrate you can run a pipeline end-to-end.

What You'd Actually Do

  • Build and execute sourcing strategy for assigned requisitions — Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, Exa/web sourcing, and market mapping to identify qualified candidates, including passive talent.
  • Run heavy-volume, personalized outreach campaigns (InMail, email sequences, follow-ups) and own your own response and conversion rates.
  • Continuously refine sourcing criteria (title, seniority, background, location) based on hiring manager feedback and what's actually converting.
  • Maintain an accurate, de-duplicated pipeline in Lever; keep candidate records and outreach status current.
  • Use AI and research to find top talent. You'll build target lists of high performers at peer and aspirational companies using LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, internal data, and AI tools like Claude. We expect AI to be a core part of how you identify, qualify, and reach candidates.

What You Need To Already Be Good At

  • 1–3 years of experience in recruiting, sourcing, sales development, or a closely related function
  • Prior experience owning outreach volume, and/or running candidate screens is a strong plus
  • Demonstrated ability to outreach independently
  • Comfortable being the primary point of contact for stakeholders
  • Strong written and verbal communication both internally and externally — you'll be writing outreach copy, screen notes, and hiring manager updates daily while being the main POC for external candidates
  • High attention to pipeline hygiene and process discipline; comfortable working inside an ATS as the system of record
  • You've built or improved a recruiting process before, not just worked inside someone else's.
  • Knowledge and proficiency using Lever, Gem, Rippling or a comparable ATS and sourcing stack.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and volume — this role covers more of the funnel than a typical sourcer or coordinator role, and the workload reflects that

Not For You If

You need the whole playbook written before you'll move — we're writing ours as we go, and you'll be one of the people writing it.

You go quiet on candidates or hiring managers when a search gets hard. That's the opposite of the job.

You think of this as staffing — fill the req, collect the fee, move on. We're not a “get the job done and get out” shop; we're building a company.

You’re a recluse. We work in-office globally.

About Samba TV

Television remains a vibrant cultural influence and an essential source of entertainment and information worldwide. Tremendous growth in content choices, and viewing platforms that allow us to watch anything, anytime, on any screen, has actually made it harder for viewers to discover and keep up with all the great programming available. It’s also more competitive for content providers to keep your attention, and for marketers to make strong, measurable connections with their target consumers.

Technology that improves the viewing experience, enables content discovery, and addresses audience fragmentation across screens will strengthen television’s business model and relevance to consumers. Data is at the center of any solution to make TV better.

Samba TV's technology is built into Smart TVs and easily maps to smart phones and tablets. By recognizing what's on screen, Samba TV learns what viewers like and using machine learning algorithms, enables discovery of shows and actors in a whole new way.

Likewise, our data and measurement products are transforming the way stakeholders across the media landscape are thinking about their business. Given the dramatic growth in streaming services, connected devices, time-shifting, and multi-screen viewership, our data products solve real problems and create a meaningful competitive advantage for our clients.
