Senior Product Designer - UI/UX Strategy & Execution

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 seeking an experienced Product Designer to establish and own the UI/UX strategy for our unified client reporting portal (Samba's Bridge) while ensuring brand cohesion across all touchpoints. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with direct access to C-level leadership, clients, and partners—offering the rare opportunity to build design strategy from the ground up in an organization ready for transformation.     WHAT YOU'LL DO  Product Design Ownership

Take full ownership of UI/UX for our unified client reporting portal, transforming an internal interface into an intuitive, data-rich experience for clients and partners

Conduct user research with clients and internal stakeholders to understand pain points, workflows, and opportunities

Design end-to-end experiences from information architecture through high-fidelity prototypes and implementation specs

Establish design systems, patterns, and standards that scale across the platform

Brand Integration

Partner closely with marketing to ensure the portal authentically reflects our brand identity, voice, and values

Bridge the gap between marketing assets and product experience, creating visual and experiential consistency

Define how brand elements translate into functional product design

Strategy & Foundation Building

Create our UI/UX strategy from scratch—you'll define the vision, approach, and roadmap, with support from your Chief Product Officer

Present design rationale and recommendations directly to C-level executives

Establish design processes, tools, and workflows that position us for future team growth

Advocate for user-centered design principles across the organization

Who You Are

 5+ years in product design with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex B2B or data-heavy applications

Deep understanding of UX principles, interaction design, and visual design fundamentals

Proven ability to work independently while influencing cross-functional teams

Experience designing reporting, analytics, or dashboard interfaces is highly valuable

Track record of building design strategy in early-stage or transformation environments

Comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at creating structure where none exists

Ability to balance quick wins with long-term vision

Exceptional presentation skills with experience communicating design decisions to executive audiences

Skilled at gathering requirements from diverse stakeholders and translating them into coherent design solutions

Comfortable being the sole design voice in the room and confidently advocating for users

Expert-level skills in Figma (or equivalent design tools)

Understanding of front-end development constraints and opportunities

Familiarity with design systems and component-based design

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE UNIQUE

This isn't a role where you'll execute someone else's vision or work within established guidelines. You'll have genuine autonomy to shape our design direction, unusual access to decision-makers, and the accountability that comes with being the design owner. If you thrive on building rather than maintaining, this role offers that opportunity.
