Measurement Operations Manager at sambatv

Samba TV tracks streaming and broadcast video across the world with our proprietary data and technology. We are on a mission to fundamentally transform the viewing experience for everyone. Our data enables media companies to connect with audiences for new shows and movies, and enables advertisers to engage viewers and measure reach across all their devices. We have an amazing story with a unique perspective on culture formed by a global footprint of data and AI-driven insights. We're looking for a Measurement Operations Manager to lead the back-end operations engine of our Measurement Science organization. You will own two high-performing vertical teams: Measurement Analysts — a squad of data analysts executing custom queries to answer measurement, insights, and marketing questions — and Measurement Operations, responsible for pixel tagging, QC, implementation, and study tracking. This is a role for someone who geeks out on operational excellence. You bring structure to ambiguity, velocity to delivery, and rigor to quality — all while building a team culture where high performers thrive and accountability is embedded in the DNA. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Lead and manage two sub-teams: Measurement Analysts and Measurement Operations, spanning offshore and contract resources across time zones. • Design and optimize end-to-end operational workflows for data query execution, pixel implementation, and study delivery using frameworks like Six Sigma, Agile, and Scrum — applying the right methodology for each challenge. • Own quality control standards across all measurement deliverables, including discrepancy reporting, pixel tagging best practices, and troubleshooting. • Drive capacity planning, sprint prioritization, and workload distribution across both teams using JIRA. • Partner with Measurement Science leadership to reduce study delivery timelines and scale operational throughput in support of global expansion. • Develop and maintain SQL/Python/Databricks-based operational workflows and data pipelines to support scalable, repeatable measurement execution. • Build a meritocratic team culture: mentor high potentials, recognize top performers, and coach opportunity areas with speed and candor. • Report on team utilization, delivery velocity, and quality metrics to senior leadership. WHO YOU ARE • 5+ years of experience in data or measurement operations, with deep fluency in operational frameworks (Six Sigma, Agile, Scrum). You know which tool to pull out and when. • Proven experience managing offshore and/or contract teams — you understand how to build accountability and culture without geographic proximity. • Hands-on experience with SQL, Python, Databricks, BigQuery, and AWS. You can get into the data layer yourself when needed and set the bar for your team. • Working knowledge of ad measurement pixels, discrepancy root-cause analysis, and tagging best practices across DSPs and measurement platforms. • Comfortable running sprints, managing backlogs, and reporting on team throughput at scale.JIRA power user: • You build teams that want to perform. You give feedback early and often, celebrate wins loudly, and course-correct quickly and constructively.
