Job Level
About the role
- Walmart is hiring an experienced leader for the product organization responsible for Sparky, our AI-powered shopping experience, with full ownership of product vision, platform, metrics, and execution.
- This leader will define and deliver the multi-year roadmap to establish Sparky as the default interaction layer across Walmart’s app and web worldwide.
- The leader will be responsible for running Sparky as a business, owning core KPIs including engagement rate, task completion, conversion and GMV lift, with clear executive reporting.
- The role includes building and scaling the Sparky platform: conversational UX primitives and animations; multimodal foundations across voice and vision; intent understanding and routing with measurable classification accuracy; and an agentive framework that enables Walmart teams to build and own domain-specific agents.
- A primary mandate is expanding agentive commerce so customers complete high-frequency actions natively within Sparky instead of being deep-linked elsewhere.
- The leader will also drive personalization using behavioral and membership signals, within conversational flows while protecting relevance and trust, and extend the Sparky platform across international markets and Sam’s Club with a clear localization and reuse strategy.
Requirements
- 15+ years in Product Management, with 5+ years leading large PM organizations
- Experience building AI/ML-powered consumer products at scale
- Proven track record driving measurable revenue impact (conversion, GMV, ads, or cost reduction)
- Experience building platform products used by internal developer teams
- Strong technical fluency (LLMs, intent classification, agent frameworks, APIs, experimentation systems)
- Experience running high-scale experimentation (A/B, multivariate)
- Experience leading cross-functional orgs across engineering, data science, design, and business
- Option 1: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related area and 15 years’ experience in product management.
- Option 2: 17 years’ experience in product management or related area.
- Preferred: Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration or related area and 14 years’ experience as a product manager.
Benefits
- Health benefits include medical, vision and dental coverage.
- Financial benefits include 401(k), stock purchase and company-paid life insurance.
- Paid time off benefits include PTO (including sick leave), parental leave, family care leave, bereavement, jury duty, and voting.
- Other benefits include short-term and long-term disability, company discounts, Military Leave Pay, adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, and more.
- Live Better U is a Walmart-paid education benefit program for full-time and part-time associates in Walmart and Sam's Club facilities. Programs range from high school completion to bachelor's degrees, including English Language Learning and short-form certificates. Tuition, books, and fees are completely paid for by Walmart.
- You will also receive PTO and/or PPTO that can be used for vacation, sick leave, holidays, or other purposes.
