Senior Director, Data Science - Cvp Strategy & Enablement

Walmart Walmart · Retail · Bentonville, AR

This role is for a Senior Director of Data Science focused on strategy and enablement within Walmart US eCommerce. The primary responsibility is to translate strategy into execution for speed-based Customer Value Propositions (CVPs) by partnering with cross-functional teams, supporting fulfillment network design, and enabling initiatives. The role involves supporting executive decision-making through AI-enabled/data-driven insights and performance tracking.

  3. Lead development and pre‑alignment of executive‑ready materials for MSM and other leadership forums, ensuring clarity of strategy, tradeoffs, and progress.
  4. Enable execution of key CVP initiatives (e.g., peak pop‑ups, reaches capacity retrofits, Same Day FC pilots) by providing analytical support, prioritization insights, and coordination across partners.
  5. Establish and maintain shared KPI reporting and performance views, leveraging AI‑enabled tools to accelerate visibility and root‑cause analysis in partnership with owning teams.
