About The Role

Imagine working in an environment where one line of code can make life easier for hundreds of millions of people and put a smile on their face. That’s what we do at Walmart Global Tech.

Being human‑led is our true disruption.

The Developer Productivity - Product Management team, which is part of the Global Technology Platform, is chartered to accelerate engineering teams by providing an immersive developer experience to reduce cycle time for product development.

• Defining vision and strategies for your product family, using domain expertise, internal and external best practices, identifying market opportunities, building business cases, and approving objectives
• Crafting and developing solutions to large business challenges – communicate business and customer needs to key partners to implement products and timelines
• Driving business plans and projects by identifying the customer and operational needs of the product
• Building a team environment by selecting, training, and mentoring
• Evaluating the effectiveness of your products and initiatives to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness with participating stakeholders

You’ll sweep us off our feet if…

• You’re able to use metrics to improve performance
• You have a proven ability to navigate and resolve complex and ambiguous problems
• You’re customer‑centric in spirit and in execution
• You’re comfortable influencing others, leading teams, managing stakeholders, and communicating clearly
• You have a test and learn mentality and an agile way of working to improve your product
• You have proven skills at negotiating and influencing leadership and cross‑functional teams
• You have proven ability to manage multiple projects: work prioritization, planning, task delegation and hitting deadlines
• You have demonstrated ability to understand and discuss strategic business concepts, manage trade‑offs and evaluate opportunistic new ideas
• You have skills in tracking and reporting on product launch metrics, utilizing feedback to drive associated actions and product iteration, as well as experience contributing to post‑launch reviews and driving incorporation of feedback in future product releases
