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.

Samba is seeking a Product Manager to own and scale our OEM TV Platform (TVP) integrations and certification program across our Smart TV ecosystem. This role operates at the intersection of product, engineering, and external partners, driving the roadmap and execution of integrations with TV manufacturers and SoC vendors while maintaining a high product quality bar.

The Product Manager will work closely with engineering teams, particularly our Taipei-based development team, as well as external OEM partners to define requirements, manage delivery timelines, and ensure integration quality. Success in this role means assuming full ownership of the OEM integration program within the first 4-6 months—translating Samba's long-term business needs across data licensing and platform expansion into concrete integration roadmaps, certification requirements, and partner policies. The PM will ensure launches occur on schedule, proactively resolve cross-team issues, and maintain strong partner relationships. The PM will be accountable for ensuring Samba TV's platform integrations are delivered efficiently and meet evolving requirements that support the company's growth objectives.

We are looking for an execution-oriented Product Manager who thrives in environments that require strong cross-functional coordination and partner engagement. The ideal candidate has experience managing platform or hardware device integrations and is comfortable operating in a technically complex environment where product success depends on close collaboration with BD, engineering and external partner teams. This candidate should demonstrate strong ownership and operational discipline, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously and proactively drive initiatives forward. They should be comfortable working with distributed teams across time zones and capable of representing the company in conversations with OEM partners. The best candidates will combine strong product instincts with pragmatic execution skills, enabling them to balance strategic thinking with the day-to-day rigor required to deliver reliable platform integrations.

  • Own the roadmap and execution for Samba TV’s OEM platform integrations.

  • Lead cross-functional collaboration with engineering, QA, and partner teams to deliver successful product launches.

  • Manage certification programs and ensure integrations meet quality and performance standards.

  • Coordinate closely with Taipei-based engineering teams to track progress and resolve technical dependencies.

  • Serve as the primary product interface for OEM partners throughout the integration lifecycle.

  • Drive new strategic initiatives including Edge AI capabilities, and future platform innovation

  • Identify opportunities to improve integration processes, tooling, and platform scalability.

  • 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in platform, device, or ecosystem integrations.

  • Experience working with OEM partners, device manufacturers, or platform ecosystems.

  • Strong cross-functional leadership with engineering and technical teams.

  • Experience managing complex product delivery across distributed teams.

  • Technical background or familiarity with TV platforms (Android TV, Linux-based systems), multimedia pipelines, video/audio processing, or codec technologies preferred

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Mandarin speaking proficiency is a plus
