About The Position

The Director of Technical Program Management – Enterprise Prioritization Enablement plays a critical role in operationalizing Walmart’s enterprise product priorities by connecting strategy, product intent, and engineering execution. This leader supports the Top 6 prioritization agenda by driving alignment, surfacing tradeoffs, and ensuring clarity across complex, cross-functional initiatives. Operating at the Director level, this role is highly hands-on and execution-oriented, while still requiring strong strategic judgment and technical depth. The Director partners closely with Enterprise and Segment Strategy teams, Product leaders, and Engineering teams to translate priorities into executable plans, produce executive-ready materials, and manage interdependencies that impact delivery, sequencing, and value realization. This position is essential to ensuring that enterprise decision-making is informed by real engineering capacity, platform dependencies, and technical constraints — enabling leaders to make grounded, high-quality prioritization decisions. This role is designed for a technically strong, execution-focused leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and delivery. The Director of Technical Program Management ensures that enterprise priorities are not just well-articulated, but realistically executable — grounding decision-making in engineering realities while helping Walmart move faster on what matters most. This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in ambiguity, simplifies complexity, and is motivated by building practical solutions that scale across a large, matrixed enterprise.
