- What is your role at Samsung Engineering?
- (Chungho Kim) I’m in charge of the treasury desk within the finance department. Our main responsibilities revolve around the financial management, investment funding, and public posting. Simply put, we oversee the corporate account and make sure we stay in good financial shape by minimizing capital risk and posing necessary corporate information to the public and our investors.
(Yoonjin Kim) I am responsible for financial planning, so it is my job to predict and manage corporate cash flow and plan for financing. To do this, I have to understand the terms and conditions of each project so that I can anticipate unexpected variables and coordinate with relevant departments. - What has been your most rewarding experience working at Samsung Engineering?
- (Yoonjin Kim) I felt proud when I contributed to the bidding process of a project through providing project currency, bank guarantees, and financing. When completing financing for the project, my team had to draft a plan to maintain the profit and minimize risk as well as conduct negotiations with financial institutions. From the project, I acquired not only the knowledge but also experience managing the interests of many different departments simultaneously.
(Chungho Kim) You need to stay alert and be prepared all time. Working late into the night, guaranteeing that the company stays in good financial condition can also be stressful. However at the end of a day, you always get the sense of accomplishment knowing that all the effort you put in is to keep the company in good shape and to support business units to carry out their projects as planned and as scheduled. - Why is Samsung Engineering a good place to work?

You also you get to carry out diverse transactions with various financial institutions. I found this rather rewarding since it not only gives you an opportunity to broaden your perspective but also gives an insight into the market.
(Yoonjin Kim) Before I started working in financial planning, I did a diverse set of tasks in the financial department, including project currency management, foreign exchange management, bank guarantee issues, and project financing. While some companies require early specialization, Samsung Engineering allowed me to explore my options at the beginning of my career so I could identify my aptitudes and talents.
