Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and QA teams to translate product roadmaps into executable program plans, milestones, dependencies, and release schedules.

Maintain clear program artifacts, including integrated project plans, milestones, RAID logs, dependency tracking, decision logs, release plans, and executive-level reporting.
Communicate program status, risks, dependencies, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly to working teams and senior leadership.
Drive accountability and alignment across teams without direct authority, ensuring commitments, decisions, and follow-up actions are clearly owned.
Coordinate non-technical launch dependencies across functions such as Legal, Compliance, Risk, Operations, Marketing, Customer Support, and Finance to ensure overall business readiness.
Lead program retrospectives and continuously improve development, testing, release, and cross-functional operating processes.
Help establish scalable program-management practices and operating mechanisms as Samsung expands its fintech product portfolio.
