Information Assistant

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.

Fluent English and German. You'll work in both

Steady, structured work. Office, shifts, client-facing, whatever it was, you know what showing up consistently looks like

Attention to detail. You can follow a long rulebook and apply it the same way on the hundredth clip as on the first

Bonus points

French · Italian · Polish · Spanish · subtitling, transcription or localization QC · content moderation or data labelling · familiarity with TV advertising and brands

Not for you if

"Information specialist" sounds like databases and queries to you. It's not that job. Nobody here will ask you to write SQL.

You need variety to stay engaged. You'll be making the same kind of decision all day.

Sundays are negotiable. They aren't, and we won't rotate them.

You're looking for a stopgap to leave in a few months. Training takes real time, and we're hiring someone to stay.

How we judge you, and how it goes

Skills we teach, attitude we don't. Every hire is scored on the same five things: determined yet resilient, naturally curious, low-ego, self-aware, results oriented. For this role that means: you keep your quality up when the work is repetitive, you ask when a rule doesn't fit, you're good with a team that's stretched, you know honestly whether this work suits you, and your tagging is right.

Riccardo is watching for one thing above all: that you understand what the job is from the start, and that you're reliable.

Why now

We're Series C, ~$100M raised, pre-IPO, growing 30% YoY, 18 years in. For this team, that growth means more markets and more volume. Another country comes online in January, and we want you trained before it does.
