Sr. Manager, GTM Cycle Planning and Governance

Position Summary Bringing Samsung's go-to-market strategy to life requires seamless coordination across functions — and that coordination is what our team drives. We own the operational cadence that keeps strategy, marketing, retail, finance, and accounts teams aligned and moving in the same direction. From GTM planning cycles and quarterly business reviews to executive governance gates, we ensure the right stakeholders have the right information at the right time — and that risks and dependencies are surfaced early and resolved before they impact execution.

This role will own the end-to-end program management framework — including quarterly business reviews, planning cycles, and executive governance gates — and will report directly to the Executive Director of Strategic Product Operations & Governance, working closely with cross-functional teams and account team leadership.
