Senior Manager, Technical Program Management - Supply Chain Solutions

Position Summary

Catalog Intelligent Solutions is a business platforms strategy team focused on making Walmart’s item and catalog data work harder for the enterprise. We design reusable signals, services, and workflows that power how merchants, operators, and platforms make decisions. This role anchors our provenance foundation: how we represent where a product comes from (origin) and how it flows through upstream and downstream touchpoints (traceability) in a way that’s consistent, defensible, and reusable across the company.

• Act as the primary point of contact for teams that need traceability, origin, or location signals to support operations, compliance, trade, or reporting.
• Help stakeholders refine problem statements and use cases into structured requirements that can be implemented and scaled.

• Define how traceability, origin, and location should be represented (what it means, where it applies, how it changes over time, and how it’s joined to item identity).
• Drive decisions on boundaries: what belongs as a core fact vs what should remain an event-level signal vs when to decide between signals.

• Establish repeatable onboarding patterns and common definitions so teams can adopt shared provenance capabilities instead of building one-off solutions.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to evolve the underlying services and data models that support consistent consumption across tools and workflows.

• Define success metrics and track progress in a way that stands up in leadership reviews (coverage, data quality, adoption in key workflows, reduced manual reconciliation).
• Identify where fragmentation or conflicting sources are creating operational friction and drive alignment toward a consistent approach.

• Collaborate with other Catalog Intelligent Solutions leaders on how provenance capabilities fit into the broader platform landscape.
• Help shape enterprise patterns for how upstream and downstream signals are collected, validated, and used in decision workflows—balancing speed with defensibility.

• Are a “full-stack” problem solver who can move between business outcomes, product requirements, and technical constraints.
• Have experience in supply chain data, traceability, origin, compliance-adjacent programs, or other domains where provenance and defensibility matter.
• Can take vague or conflicting inputs and turn them into clear decisions: definitions, priorities, and a path to implementation and adoption.
• Understand how to keep things reusable at enterprise scale—avoiding one-off logic and preventing “two answers” problems.
• Communicate clearly and proactively: crisp writing, strong stakeholder management, and comfort driving decisions when incentives differ.

Catalog Intelligent Solutions is a business platforms strategy team focused on making Walmart’s item and catalog data work harder for the enterprise. We design reusable signals, services, and workflows that power how merchants, operators, and platforms make decisions. Our work spans product data quality, intelligence, compliance-adjacent needs, and operational readiness—wherever better item information can unlock safer, smarter, and more efficient experiences for customers and associates.

We are looking for a versatile problem solver who bridges business, product, and technical teams to shape the strategy for traceability and origin initiatives. As Senior Manager, Technical Program Management – Catalog Intelligent Solutions (Traceability & Origin), you will lead cross-functional efforts to define the core concepts, data patterns, and adoption paths that multiple programs depend on—across supply chain execution, food safety/compliance, trade and tariffs, sustainability/ESG, and planning.

This is not a traditional TPM role. You will operate as a platform and capability owner : shaping what the enterprise should…
