About The Position

The Associate Experience team is looking for a Senior Manager of Business Analysis & Insights who excels at turning insights into action. This role is not just about uncovering trends — it’s about translating associate feedback and workforce data into clear, prioritized actions that drive measurable business outcomes. This leader will operate end-to-end — from framing the question, to gathering and analyzing data using a variety of tools, to delivering executive-ready insights and recommendations. They should be comfortable self-serving data when needed, while also partnering with analysts to go deeper, ensuring speed, accuracy, and impact. They will own the narrative and activation of insights through compelling storytelling, dashboards, and strategic recommendations, and be equally comfortable working in the data and influencing senior leaders to act. Think of this role as part analyst, part strategist, and part change agent — someone who ensures insights don’t stop at awareness, but lead to real, tangible impact across the business. Walmart Global People teams influence strategy, optimize working models and enable the business to achieve results while preserving the fabric that sets us apart and keeps our 1.5M+ associates coming to work every day. They provide necessary tools and insights, operating as partners at every phase of workforce planning, talent management, organizational design and change management. They build communities and prepare Walmart for the future, acting as a vital component to sustainable success, thinking beyond the status-quo and inspiring positive change. Joining Global People means immersing oneself in the culture, becoming a trailblazer and a true agent of influence.

Advanced data storytelling abilities — you can take raw data and turn it into clear, compelling, action-oriented narratives.

Experience designing user-friendly dashboards and reports that serve both senior leadership and frontline audiences.
Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to drive alignment and action across a range of stakeholders.
Ability to operate with immediate impact in a fast-paced environment, quickly building context and contributing without a long ramp-up period.
A strategic, action-oriented mindset that connects trends in associate feedback to business priorities, operational improvements, and measurable results.
