CPFR Manager - Walmart

Duties/Responsibilities

• Lead collaborative planning with Walmart replenishment, merchandising, and supply chain teams — building accurate demand forecasts and replenishment strategies for Hisense TV and audio categories, with support for other Hisense lines of business as needed.
• Analyze POS, inventory, and market data through Walmart’s systems (Retail Link, Scintilla, Supplier One) to minimize stockouts, reduce excess inventory, and keep in-stock rates at or above target — in stores and online.
• Develop and maintain CPFR models using ERP and demand planning tools; align forecasts with Hisense sales, retail marketing, and logistics teams to support promotions, seasonal transitions, and modular resets.
• Monitor in-stock, fill rate, inventory turns, forecast accuracy, and OTIF; identify root causes, drive corrective actions, and report performance to Hisense leadership and Walmart counterparts.
• Plan inventory positioning for new product introductions, seasonal builds (including holiday), promotional events, and rollbacks — so launch-day and feature displays are never empty.
• Build trusted, face-to-face relationships with Walmart Home Office stakeholders; represent Hisense in joint business planning and serve as the first call when supply chain issues arise.
• Provide insights and recommendations to Hisense senior leadership on Walmart inventory strategy, risks, and opportunities, in partnership with Sales, Retail Operations, and Channel Marketing.

Requirements/Qualifications

• Residence in the Bentonville / Northwest Arkansas area, or willingness to relocate — this is a requirement, with regular on-site collaboration at Walmart’s Home Office and occasional travel to the Hisense USA office in Alpharetta, GA.
• 6–8 years of experience in inventory planning, demand forecasting, or replenishment — with direct experience supporting Walmart as a supplier strongly preferred.
• Proven expertise in CPFR methodologies, demand forecasting, and replenishment planning in high-velocity consumer electronics categories such as TV and audio.
• Hands-on proficiency with Walmart supplier systems (Retail Link, Scintilla, Supplier One) and data tools such as Excel, SQL, or advanced planning systems (SAP, Oracle, or similar).
• Strong understanding of retail supply chain dynamics, including vendor management, promotional forecasting, and e-commerce replenishment.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels — at Walmart and within Hisense.
• Analytical mindset with a focus on problem-solving and continuous improvement; television or consumer audio category experience is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required; equivalent practical experience welcomed.

Why This Role?

You will own the supply chain relationship for a flagship account at one of the fastest-growing brands in consumer electronics — with the autonomy of being our person in Northwest Arkansas and the backing of a national Retail Operations organization. Your work will show up where it counts: on the shelf, in the modular, and in the sellout number.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), paid time off, and employee product discounts.
