WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Ideate and Deliver Bespoke, Consultative Insights - You will work collaboratively with sellers, sales engineers, product teams, and data scientists to ideate and deliver bespoke insights, service, or data solutions that add value and deliver ROI for Samba’s most strategic, high-value customers.

You will proactively improve the retrieval methods for standardized reports and recurring insights requests to enable self-service insights at scale among sellers

WHO YOU ARE

• Insights MacGyver & Gold Miner - You’re entrepreneurial, scrappy, and a creative problem solver. You balance perfection with velocity to get the job done, and you get it done autonomously with whatever tools you have at your disposal. You enjoy navigating complex data bases to mine, shine, and distribute hidden gold within.
• Boardroom Ready, Code Capable - You are equally comfortable presenting to the C-suite as you are heads down in a code base mining, visualizing, and interpreting data.  
• Customer-Obsessed, Relentlessly Curious, Service-First - You’re an expert in media customers’ needs, pain points, and challenges. You always start with the assumption that the challenge can be solved with Samba data, and you are obsessive in proving that point, so you’re almost always right. Your relentless curiosity means you uncover new data points, metrics, or interpretations, and your service-first approach earns trust and credibility.
