- Coordinate POP material distribution schedules with field teams and retail partners, tracking delivery and installation compliance across all assigned accounts.
- Review and approve POP proofs, ensuring accuracy of product information, pricing, regulatory compliance, and visual brand consistency prior to production release.

- Serve as the primary point of contact for DA merchandising projects, coordinating timelines, budgets, deliverables, and stakeholder communication across internal teams, vendors, and retail partners.
- Develop and maintain detailed project plans, milestone trackers, and status reports to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery of DA merchandising programs.
- Collaborate with the DA Retail Business team to understand brand strategy, assortment priorities, and in-store objectives, translating these into executable merchandising plans.
Budgeting, PO Management & Governance
- Budget Tracking: Manage multi-million-dollar annual retail fixture and POP budgets, tracking cost allocations across multiple product categories and retailer programs
- Procurement Operations: Generate, track, and reconcile Purchase Orders (POs) and statements of work (SOWs) using Samsung procurement systems (SAP), ensuring prompt invoice processing and zero budget leakage.
- Cost Optimization: Drive value-engineering initiatives with fabricators to optimize unit production costs and freight efficiency without compromising quality.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Reporting
- Field Labor Alignment: Collaborate with third-party field labor agencies and internal retail field teams to execute display installations, de-installations, and warranty maintenance
- Compliance Auditing: Monitor real-time field reporting dashboards to verify on-shelf availability, POP placement compliance, and display power/connectivity uptime
- Stakeholder Alignment: Serve as the primary retail project liaison between Product Marketing, Sales Operations, Supply Chain, Retail Strategy, and Legal/Brand compliance
