We're looking for a strategic, hands-on Senior Manager of Public Relations to lead communications across four product categories for the Home Entertainment business and build the programs that shape how the world talks about us. This role is equal parts brand storyteller, community strategist, and media operator — someone who can drive a cohesive earned media narrative while managing the day-to-day relationships and programs that fuel it.

Key Responsibilities

• Multi-Category PR Strategy Lead communications strategy and execution across four distinct product categories (TV, Audio, Memory, and Monitors). Coordinate launch calendars, manage competing priorities, and ensure media momentum across all lines. Develop differentiated narratives for each while maintaining a coherent brand voice. Partner closely with local and global stakeholders — including Product, Engineering, R&D, Sales, and marketing leadership — to align communications with business objectives and ensure consistent messaging across markets.
• Media Relations & Product Reviews Build and maintain relationships with tier-1 technology, trade, and consumer media. Drive proactive pitching, secure high-impact product reviews, and manage review unit programs end-to-end — from editorial calendar planning through post-publish coverage analysis. Develop always-on story angles, trend narratives, and category storytelling that sustain media momentum and brand relevance year-round.
• Earned Influencer Program Design and run a scalable earned influencer program that prioritizes authentic advocacy over paid placements. Identify and cultivate relationships with creators and subject-matter voices whose audiences align with our product categories. Track engagement quality and conversion attribution to continuously refine the program.
• Reddit Strategy & Community Engagement Develop our organic Reddit presence with a long-term credibility-first mindset. Identify the right subreddits, engage authentically, manage AMAs and community moments, and equip internal subject-matter experts to participate effectively. Monitor sentiment and surface community insights that inform broader messaging.

Build and manage relationships with key industry analysts across relevant research firms, developing a structured briefing and inquiry cadence.
• Agency & Stakeholder Management Manage day-to-day relationships with PR agencies — setting clear briefs, establishing performance expectations, and holding partners accountable to quality and results. Serve as the central communications connector between local and global stakeholders, including Product, Engineering, R&D, Sales, and broader marketing leadership, ensuring priorities are aligned and Samsung's voice is amplified consistently across markets.
