At Walmart, the Catalog powers nearly every customer and associate experience, from online search to warehouse automation. The Catalog Operational Excellence team ensures that our product data is not only accurate and complete, but also built to serve real-world operations at Walmart's scale. We sit at the intersection of data, business process, and platform design. Our mission is to connect the dots between how item data is authored, how it supports supply chain and compliance operations, and how decisions are informed and made downstream. As a Senior Manager, Catalog Operational Excellence, you will be the key connector between our product data platform and Walmart's operational functions, including Supply Chain, Compliance, Store Operations, and Global Sourcing. Your role will blend business process acumen with technical fluency to make sure that the right product data exists, is usable, and is trusted across the company. You'll lead cross-functional work to shape how we manage critical item attributes, handle fulfillment and compliance requirements, and support intelligent decision capabilities. You'll partner with business stakeholders, product and engineering teams, and other Catalog areas to identify pain points, define solutions, and drive execution. This is not just a data governance role -- it's an operational strategy and systems-thinking leadership role that bridges business needs and platform capabilities.
