(usa) Staff, Product Manager

Walmart Walmart · Retail · Bentonville, AR

Staff Product Manager to lead horizontal integration capabilities across Walmart's internal Product Operating System, focusing on expanding the reach and impact of tooling ecosystem through integrations, platform standards, and cross-system interoperability. This role requires strong systems thinking, technical fluency, and cross-functional influence to partner with engineering on platform leverage and scalable architecture.

What you'd actually do

  1. You will define and deliver integration capabilities that expand the reach and utility of our product management toolkits, often requiring alignment across multiple independent engineering and product teams.
  2. You’ll serve as the product expert for cross-system integrations, working in close partnership with GTP Engineering to define scalable architecture, API contracts, data models, and automation strategies.
  3. You will partner directly with engineering to create and maintain a roadmap that balances new integration capabilities with technical debt management, reliability improvements, and performance optimization.
  4. You will establish integration standards and reusable patterns that prevent redundant builds and ensure enterprise coherence across teams leveraging Airtable and connected systems (e.g., Jira, Confluence, BigQuery, Power BI).
  5. You will proactively identify scaling risks—technical, operational, and organizational—and drive product decisions that mitigate long-term friction.
