- Manage multiple concurrent programmes across Samsung’s retail estate, coordinating activity across stores, contact centres, agencies, suppliers and channel partners.
- Translate strategic business and partner objectives into actionable retail implementation plans that enhance customer experience and support commercial growth.
- Establish strong project governance, monitoring progress, risks, dependencies, budgets and delivery performance.
- Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Activations & Operations, Marketing, Sales, Retail Excellence, Field Teams, Procurement and external partners.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, tools and ways of working to increase efficiency, scalability and consistency.
