• Manage the editorial calendar for the newsroom and LinkedIn, working in partnership with PR, product communications, and marketing teams to plan, sequence, and publish content that supports key business moments, product launches, and corporate milestones
• Oversee all back-end operations and website management, including platform maintenance, performance optimization, CMS administration, and coordination with agency and web development partners on technical enhancements and site updates
• Develop and publish compelling owned content and storytelling — including feature articles, executive bylines, innovation stories, corporate responsibility narratives, and multimedia content — that positions Samsung as a leader in its industry
• Ensure all content published to the newsroom meets the highest standards of accuracy, brand voice, AP style, and legal compliance, managing an internal review and approval process efficiently and effectively
