Position Summary...

What you'll do...

Join Walmart as Director, Technology Operations – International Tech Data to support the VP of International Tech (Data & AI) at Walmart Global Tech. International Tech powers Walmart’s business across markets including Mexico, Chile, Canada, and beyond, delivering the data capabilities and operational frameworks that enable innovation at scale.

In this role, you will act as a strategic operator and trusted advisor to the VP, helping translate vision into action, streamline execution, and ensure alignment across a global portfolio of initiatives. You will drive operational discipline, facilitate decision-making, and create the connective tissue between leadership, teams, and partners.

• Lead the operational rhythm for the leadership team, including quarterly and annual planning, OKRs, business reviews, and executive communications.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Data, Product, Strategy, Finance, and PMO teams to align roadmaps, capacity planning, and performance tracking.
• Develop clear dashboards, reports, and narratives to support leadership decisions and communicate progress to senior stakeholders.
• Manage governance processes, ensuring that key initiatives stay on track, risks are identified early, and escalations are handled effectively.
• Serve as the central point of contact for cross-functional alignment, fostering collaboration between U.S. and international market teams.
• Prepare leadership for key internal and external engagements, providing briefing materials, data insights, and talking points.
• Support organizational health by identifying process improvements, eliminating bottlenecks, and fostering team engagement.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in business, Technology, Operations, or related field (MBA or equivalent experience a plus).
• 12+ years of experience in program management, operations, strategy, or business management roles in a technology, product, or data-driven organization.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, set structure in ambiguous environments, and deliver results in complex, matrixed organizations.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to understand technology’s role in driving business outcomes.
• Exceptional communication skills — able to synthesize complex topics into clear, concise narratives for senior audiences.
• Comfortable leading without formal authority, influencing across teams and geographies.
• Proficiency with collaboration and planning tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, PowerPoint, PowerBI, or similar).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in global or multi-market organizations.
• Familiarity with data strategy, analytics operations, or digital transformation programs.
• Understanding of retail, eCommerce, or enterprise technology environments.
