Senior Manager, Technical Program Management - Catalog Solutions

Position Summary

Catalog Intelligent Solutions is a business platforms strategy team focused on making Walmart’s item and catalog data work harder for the enterprise. We design “intelligent” signals, services, and workflows that power how merchants, operators, and platforms make decisions. Our work spans product classification, operations, trust & safety, compliance, and data quality—wherever better item intelligence can unlock safer, smarter, and more efficient experiences for customers and associates.

Within this group, this role anchors the trust-focused capabilities: how we identify risk, encode safety and compliance needs, and keep item data aligned with what we can confidently show and promise to customers.

Location: Bentonville, AR (In-person)

Organization: Merchandising Transformation – Catalog Solutions

Teams across Walmart are looking for item decisions such as classifications and action-ready signals that power workflows in merchandising, supply chain, and risk-sensitive programs. In this role, you will own the capability that produces and delivers those outputs r job is to make it easy for many teams to use the same approach: clear definitions, simple onboarding, consistent outputs, and measurable adoption.

This is not a traditional TPM role. You’ll champion the platform, standards, and operating model so domain teams can own outcomes while still producing consistent, explainable outputs that others can rely on.

• Be the front door for intelligence needs. Partner with business teams to understand their problem statements and translate use cases into clear requirements and success measures.
• Own the shared capability roadmap. Decide what the platform should support next (and what it should not), based on scale, reuse, and business value.
• Define the “contract” for outputs. Establish what each classification or action signal means, where it applies, what inputs it expects, and how edge cases should behave — so consumers get consistent results.
• Set the operating model for shared delivery. Create simple onboarding, templates, and repeatable patterns so teams can launch new signals without reinventing the approach each time.
• Put measurement on rails. Ensure every output has clear coverage and quality measures, plus a practical review approach for higher-risk cases — while domain teams remain accountable for accuracy and business impact.
• Drive adoption across real workflows. Work with stakeholders and internal build teams (including Catalog teams and innovation pods) to get signals into the tools and processes where they matter and remove friction that blocks usage.
• Help teams choose the right path. When the shared capability is the right solution, drive clear requirements for partner teams to implement. When it’s not the right fit, advise on alternatives early to avoid wasted effort.

• Have owned a shared capability used by multiple teams and know how to scale adoption without turning everything into one-off customization.
• Can take ambiguous asks and turn them into crisp definitions, measurable requirements, and a plan that partner teams can execute.
• Know how to separate platform responsibilities (standards, onboarding, measurement, consistency) from domain responsibilities (accuracy, business outcomes) and keep everyone aligned to that split.
• Are comfortable setting expectations for quality and review (sampling, audits, human review workflows) without over-promising what the platform alone can guarantee.
• Have strong stakeholder leadership and can drive decisions when incentives differ.
• Are technically fluent enough to pressure-test inputs/outputs, edge cases, and data dependencies.
• Communicate clearly to senior audiences: what’s changing, what it enables, what it costs, and what’s needed next.

• Experience with classification/taxonomy, rules/decision systems, trust & safety, or compliance programs.
• Experience working with large product datasets (catalogs, item files) and operational workflows where consistency matters.
• Experience building reusable patterns, onboarding models, and measurement approaches for shared…
