Join to apply for the Senior Project Manager role at Samsung Food.
At Samsung Food, we’re building a more sustainable future by inspiring home cooks everywhere to tackle holistic health through nutrition and reduce food waste. As a fully‑owned, independently‑operated subsidiary acquired in 2019, we leverage Samsung’s global resources to deliver native app experiences to millions of TVs, wearables, and kitchen appliances.
We’re a remote‑first, globally distributed team of 100+ people and have been fully distributed since 2016. 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.
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: 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.
