About The Position

The Senior CPFR on Walmart Consumables owns collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment execution at a senior level. This role is accountable for connecting Walmart demand signals, replenishment behavior, customer inventory health, Unilever supply plans, and commercial priorities into one integrated operating view. The Senior CPFR will support Walmart Consumables categories within Beauty, Personal Care, and Home Care, with assigned category ownership aligned to business need, customer priorities, and team coverage. The role manages Walmart inventory replenishment and customer forecast inputs across item, department, category, node, and event views using customer and internal tools such as Retail Link / Luminate, NOVA or replenishment portals, Power BI, Excel, SAP, Anaplan, Databricks or SQL-enabled data sources, and automation workflows where available. This position is expected to move beyond tactical reporting.

The role directly supports Walmart in-stock goals, Unilever dispatch and fill rate execution, inventory targets, modular and transition readiness, promotional forecast quality, item lifecycle management, and strategic initiatives that improve customer experience and end-to-end supply chain speed.
