About the role

We’re looking for a Lead Product Manager, Platform to oversee the end-to-end platform product direction, guiding a team of technical PMs responsible for innovating and iterating within the food and service data domains.

You’ll bring coherence across initiatives by shaping diverse inputs into a clear product strategy, and work with engineering, ML, and ontology/data leads to turn complex systems into meaningful user and business value. This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role, suited to someone who can balance vision-setting with product execution.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a team of 2 technical product managers, raising the bar for product quality, clarity, and execution.
• Translate complex systems and ambiguous, ever-changing opportunities into coherent product strategy, defining how platform capabilities (including data ontologies, ML models, personalization frameworks, and partner APIs) evolve to support multiple product teams and long-term, defensible business value at global scale.
• Own the end-to-end roadmap for Samsung Food’s shared platform and intelligence capabilities that power consumer experiences across Samsung.
• Drive alignment across multiple internal and partner teams – including services teams, Samsung Health, Big Data Platform, and SmartThings. Identify shared needs and ensure platform investments unlock leverage for multiple user-facing teams.
• Partner with engineering and delivery leadership to shape platform delivery models, ensuring we move quickly when prototyping new capabilities, and apply rigorous, low-risk processes when updating systems that are already scaled and widely used.
• Ensure reliability, maintainability, and performance of the platform by making clear tradeoffs between speed, quality, and technical debt.
• Uphold delivery-minded product standards across the Platform PM team — ensuring PMs provide clear priorities, manage their cross-team dependencies, and proactively surface risks.
• Represent the platform stream to leadership, providing clarity on architectural decisions, delivery risks, dependencies, and long-term opportunities.
• Use quantitative and qualitative insights to inform platform evolution, ensuring capabilities are aligned with real user needs and enable meaningful differentiation in food and health experiences.

What you’ll bring

• 7–10 years of product management experience, with 1+ years leading PMs in a platform or systems-focused domain.
• A track record of leading complex technical products, such as:
• backend platforms
• ML/AI-driven features (bonus points for experience with agentic systems)
• ontologies or semantic data models
• personalization engines
• large-scale API ecosystems
• Evidence of outstanding leadership, including developing and coaching PMs, setting standards for clarity and execution, and building healthy team cultures.
• Strong technical fluency, with an ability to collaborate deeply with engineering/ML/ontology data teams, understand architectural tradeoffs, and translate technical constraints into product decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional complexity and transparency, especially across multiple teams or organizations with different priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex systems understandable and facilitate alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A mindset that blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution, able to set long-term platform direction while engaging deeply in day-to-day architectural discussions.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach suited to a fast-moving, globally distributed, high-accountability environment.
• A genuine interest in food, health, and/or behavior change, demonstrating a passion for solving hard technical problems that meaningfully improve people’s lives.
