Role
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 the job involves
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
Our take
Samba TV is improving the TV viewing experience by employing analytics to better personalize adverts and recommendations. With a scientific and algorithmic approach to how smart TVs work, the company enables TV businesses to better capture and serve consumers - an offering which has attracted the likes of Disney.
In recent years, Samba TV has focused on making artificial intelligence and machine learning central to its offerings, in part through the acquisition of Disruptel. This has enabled heightened content recognition and non-intrusive ad unit development, both of which enable it to deliver more value.
Moving forwards, Samba continues to partner and integrate with a wide range of companies to expand its product offering and market reach. And is 2022 expansion into Australia has put the company on the path to becoming a global force to be reckoned with.
