Job Description

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.
We're looking for a sharp, business-oriented attorney with 2–5 years of post-qualification experience to join Samba TV's legal team. This is a high-impact role for a lawyer with strong corporate transactional foundations who wants to work at the intersection of technology, data, and media. You'll be embedded in the business — advising on deals, structuring transactions, and partnering cross-functionally on some of the most interesting challenges in ad tech and measurement.

What You'll Do

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of corporate and commercial agreements, including equity and debt financings, M&A transactions, and private placements

  • Support fundraising and corporate structuring activities — investor communications, due diligence, and closing processes

  • Partner with Finance and Business Development on strategic transactions and joint ventures

  • Advise on corporate governance, subsidiary management, and regulatory compliance

  • Handle commercial contracting across technology licensing, data sharing, and vendor agreements

  • Help build scalable legal processes and documentation templates

  • Collaborate with Product, Operations, and Data teams to address legal questions around data use, technology, and innovation

Who You Are

  • J.D. from a well-regarded law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

  • 2–5 years of experience at a top-tier law firm or in-house legal department, focused on corporate law, M&A, capital markets, or PE/VC transactions

  • Strong command of corporate structures, capitalization, and securities compliance

  • Proven ability to juggle multiple projects and deliver practical, business-first legal advice under tight deadlines

  • Excellent drafting, communication, and negotiation skills

  • Prior exposure to technology, data, or digital media sectors is a strong plus

  • Collaborative, proactive, and energized by variety — no two days look the same here

WHY SAMBA

  • Work directly with senior leadership on high-impact deals and strategic transactions

  • Join a lean, high-trust legal team where your work moves the needle

  • Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits

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.
