Position Summary:

Walmart is a multinational people led tech powered omnichannel retailer with over 2.2M associates. Walmart’s International team supports Walmart’s global footprint—spanning over 5,200 retail units across 23 countries. We build software platforms that help Walmart procure high-quality products at the best value and ensure they reach customers globally, enabling them to save money and live better.

We are a globally integrated data and AI organization within Walmart International, driving transformation through unified, trusted data products that power smarter decisions, reduce duplication, strengthen governance, and unlock better, more consistent customer experiences at scale. Our mission spans across Canada, China, Chile, Central America, Indi, Mexico, and South Africa —where we support omnichannel retail operations and enable intelligent data platforms tailored to diverse market needs.

We are seeking a visionary Director Data Technical Program Manger (TPM), with a minimum of 12 years of experience to lead the strategic execution of our enterprise-wide data transformation.
