About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Draw on firsthand operations experience to identify where field teams are losing time, accuracy, or visibility — and lead the development of practical, technology-driven solutions that work on the ground.
Partner with IT and operations leadership to scope, test, and implement technology solutions that automate recurring manual reporting obligations — serving as the operational voice in the room to ensure solutions are built for how the field works.
Continuously evaluate the reporting landscape to identify redundancies, inefficiencies, and automation opportunities across data exchange processes.
Collaborate with the Continuous Improvement department to support Lean and Six Sigma initiatives — bringing credible field-level perspective to drive waste reduction and standardization that sticks.
Collaborate with ROMs to support performance improvement efforts — using your operational background to contextualize trend data around KPIs including Units per Hour (UPH) and other Walmart-defined metrics, and help field leadership develop realistic, effective action plans.
Leverage your operational knowledge to build reports and dashboards that reflect how the field operates — not just what the data says on the surface, but what it means at the site level.
Build, maintain, and distribute daily, weekly, and monthly operational reports including glidepath updates, capacity summaries, CHEP storage data, pallet consumption reports, and action plan submissions.
Create and maintain advanced Excel models, pivot tables, and dashboards that transform raw operational data into clear, actionable insights for internal and Walmart stakeholders.
Support Directors and ROMs with data-backed responses to Walmart escalations, capacity disputes, glidepath inquiries, and audit documentation — drawing on real operations experience to frame responses with context and credibility.
Serve as the primary communications hub for network-wide messaging — drafting, distributing, and tracking operational updates to field leadership and Walmart supply chain contacts.
Translate complex operational situations into clear, accurate communications for both internal leadership and Walmart — a task that requires understanding what is happening in the field, not just what appears in a report.
Monitor all Walmart reporting obligations and ensure timely, accurate submissions via Walmart SharePoint, email, and other required platforms.
Absorb daily data requests and ad-hoc inquiries from Walmart contacts, freeing Directors, ROMs, and site managers to stay focused on frontline execution.
Document reporting workflows, SOPs, and data definitions in a way that reflects real operational context — building institutional knowledge that is practical and usable for field teams, not just theoretical frameworks.
