Senior Manager, Technical Program Management - Supply Chain Solutions

Position: (USA) 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.

What you'll do...

Be the first call for traceability/origin needs

* 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.

Own the strategy for "provenance" signals and how they show up in item data

* 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.

Shape reusable patterns that multiple programs can plug into

* 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.

Drive measurable progress and adoption

* 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.

Influence how the enterprise builds with these signals

* 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.

You'll Sweep Us Off Our Feet If You…

* 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.

About the Team

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.

About the Role

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 standardize, what must be true for data to be trusted, how signals should be represented across different levels of detail, and how teams should adopt these capabilities without reinventing them in each program.

Minimum Qualifications

* Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).

* 6+ years of experience in technical program management, product management, or equivalent roles bridging business and technology.

* Experience leading cross-functional initiatives involving data, platforms, and complex stakeholder alignment.

* Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into clear requirements, definitions, and measurable outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience with large product-based datasets (catalogs, item…
