Walmart Business Segment:
Home Office Own international and Sam’s US program extension — lead the end-to-end rollout of the Partner Network program portfolio (partner benefits & incentives, tiering & recognition, partner trust & compliance, specialized partner programs, demand generation, evangelism, and the partner awards program) into Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Sam’s US. Build the market-entry roadmap — partner with regional/business leadership to prioritize which programs launch in which markets/businesses and in what sequence, balancing local partner needs, revenue opportunity, and operational readiness.

Localize, don't just translate — adapt program mechanics, eligibility criteria, incentives, and partner-facing materials to each market's regulatory, cultural, currency, and competitive context, working with in-market/business teams to ensure relevance. Coordinate cross-functionally — serve as the single point of accountability across program owners, regional Walmart/Walmart Connect teams, Legal, Compliance, Finance, Product, and Marketing to unblock launches and keep initiatives on track.

Define and track success — set launch KPIs and health metrics for each market, build the reporting cadence, and report progress and risks to leadership on a regular basis. Create a repeatable playbook — codify the international/Sam’s US expansion approach into a scalable, reusable model so each successive market launches faster and more consistently than the last. Be the voice of the market — bring local partner and team feedback back to central program owners to influence the global program roadmap.

Preferred Qualifications ...6+ years of experience in partnerships, partner/channel programs, go-to-market strategy, program management, or a related field — with a track record of taking programs from concept to launch. Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional initiatives across multiple stakeholders and geographies without direct authority. Experience operating in or expanding programs into international markets. Strong program-management skills: able to manage multiple concurrent work streams, timelines, and dependencies with minimal oversight.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and partner-facing audiences. Experience in retail media, e-commerce, marketplace, or advertising technology. Direct experience with the Latin American (Mexico, Chile) and/or Canada markets, including familiarity with local partner ecosystems and regulatory environments. Experience building partner incentive, tiering, certification, or recognition programs. MBA or equivalent advanced degree. Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action — you thrive as an early builder in a fast-scaling environment.
