• Execute inventory strategies for assigned categories, including Direct Import, seasonal inventory builds, launch readiness, modular resets, and in-stock optimization.
• Own Walmart supply-chain scorecards and action plans for assigned categories, including OTIF, SQEP, Supplier One, and other service/compliance measures.
• Build repeatable operating routines and reporting using Scintilla, Retail Link, automation, and AI-enabled tools to highlight risks, opportunities, decisions, and owners.

• Experience supporting a large retailer or retailer-dedicated supplier team; direct Walmart experience strongly preferred.
• Working proficiency with Walmart data and replenishment tools, including Retail Link and Scintilla.
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills, with the ability to analyze complex data and convert findings into clear recommendations.
• Strong relationship-building and influencing skills to collaborate effectively across retailer and internal teams without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications
