Description

At Samsung Food, we're trying to build a more sustainable future by inspiring home cooks everywhere to tackle holistic health through nutrition and reduce food waste. We're a fully-owned, independently-operated Samsung subsidiary (acquired in 2019) primed to grow on top of Samsung's global resources and hardware ecosystem. We are passionate about what we build and who we build for within one of the world's largest corporations to bring our highly-rated native app experiences to tens of millions of TVs, wearables, and kitchen appliances in the years to come.

Samsung Food has a 4.8 star rating on both the iOS and Android store, was included in Google Play's Best of 2020 Everyday Essentials list, has been featured on the Apple app store numerous times, and was nominated for a 2021 Webby Award.

We're a remote-first, globally distributed team of 100+ people based across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and everywhere in between. We've been fully distributed since 2016 and pioneered many of the practices which are commonplace in remote workplaces today.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to help build how Whisk plans, executes, and delivers work for Samsung - from the ground up. You'll join a newly formed Strategic Delivery & Execution team that's reimagining how we operate across Product, Engineering, Design, QA, and Samsung partnership functions.

This isn't a maintenance PM role. You'll be a builder - helping to establish repeatable delivery practices in a company that's evolving fast, with ambitious goals and high expectations. You'll thrive if you're energized by ambiguity, can navigate disruption with resilience, and love making systems and teams better than you found them.

What You'll Do

• Build and run delivery systems: Shape and manage planning, delivery, and reporting processes across multiple cross-functional workstreams.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and QA across Whisk and Samsung to ensure decisions are made with clarity on trade-offs, dependencies, and ownership.
• Drive accountability: Ensure all teams deliver on commitments, surface risks early, and follow through on retrospectives and learnings.
• Create order from chaos: Bring structure and clarity to how we prioritize, plan, and execute, without overburdening teams with process.
• Coach and influence: Partner with managers and leads to strengthen ownership, alignment, and decision-making across teams.
• Connect the dots: Work horizontally across functions (Product, Engineering, Design, Operations, Samsung teams) to keep work unblocked and outcomes visible.
• Bring visibility and communication to deliver health, progress, and outcomes - through reporting, async updates, and retrospectives.
• Continuously improve: Iterate on delivery practices and rituals as the organization evolves - helping build a scalable, flexible SDLC.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in project, program, or delivery management roles in software or consumer tech environments.
• Proven experience helping teams adopt or evolve delivery practices in fast-changing or immature process environments.
• Strong execution and follow-through mindset - you get things done through influence as often as possible and, when needed, sometimes a little authority.
• Experience navigating ambiguity, driving alignment, and building trust across cross-functional, global teams.
• Comfort working in both startup and corporate ecosystems - and translating between the two.
• Excellent communication: crisp, context-aware, and comfortable across time zones and varying communication styles.
• Resilience, curiosity, and a bias for action - you see obstacles as puzzles to solve, not reasons to stall.

Culture Fit

• You thrive in a flat, fast-paced, and evolving environment where structure is being built, not inherited.
• You value autonomy and accountability - taking initiative while following through.
• You believe process should serve people and outcomes, not the other way around.
• You can flex between hands-on tactical execution and strategic problem-solving.

Why This Role

You'll be on the ground floor of building a new delivery function that will shape how Whisk executes - internally and across Samsung. You'll work alongside a small, mission-driven team and a Head of Strategic Delivery & Execution who's designing this model from scratch.

If you're a builder who loves creating clarity, enabling teams, and making delivery excellence part of the culture - this is your opportunity to have an impact.

Terms of Engagement

• Hybrid at Samsung Digital City in Suwon, South Korea, with remote work flexibility when collaborating heavily with team members in Europe and/or the US
• 40 hours per week, contract-based (long-term)
