POP (Point-of-Purchase) Project Management

• Manage the full lifecycle of POP programs — from brief and creative development through production, logistics, and field installation — for DA retail locations.
• Partner with internal creative teams and external print/production vendors to develop POP materials (signage, header cards, shelf talkers, interactive displays, etc.) that align with DA brand standards.
• 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
• Executive Dashboards: Build and present executive-level project tracking reports, risk assessments, and post-launch ROI evaluations for leadership review

Qualifications:

• 6+ years of progressive experience in Retail Merchandising, POP production, fixture design, or related DA/CE retail operations is required
• Bachelor's degree in relevant field such as Marketing, Industrial Design, Visual Merchandising, or Business are advantageous.
• Demonstrated experience managing POP programs and/or fixture design projects from brief through in-store installation.
• Experience with planogram software (e.g., JDA/Blue Yonder, Nielsen Spaceman, or equivalent) is a plus.
• Previous retail system experience with web-based retail management or CMMS platforms preferred.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar data visualization tools is a plus.
• Highly effective interpersonal, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills across all levels.
• Excellent business communication and presentation skills, including the ability to present visual concepts to retail partners and senior stakeholders.
