• Develop scalable, AI-enabled sales workflows; partner with IT, Legal, and business stakeholders to evaluate and implement compliant use cases and manage enablement to ensure VBG teams can effectively position the Samsung portfolio.
• Maintain comprehensive knowledge of Samsung Mobile's hardware and software portfolio, including Android for Enterprise and EMM capabilities, to build credibility and advance Samsung's positioning in complex, solution-oriented opportunities.
• Guide internal teams and external partners through changing priorities, new processes, and evolving business requirements; travel up to 50–60% to VBG headquarters, regional offices, and field locations, with in-person presence as required at Samsung offices.
• Entrepreneurial mindset; self-starter with strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to operate with minimal direction.
• Excellent interpersonal and facilitation skills; ability to build and sustain trusted relationships across internal teams, carrier partners, and end customers.
