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. 

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.
