  • Model Development: Design and deliver new models and algorithms across forecasting, placement, inventory targets, safety stock, and exits to optimize cost, speed, and customer experience.
  • Optimization & Machine Learning: Apply advanced techniques in optimization, probabilistic forecasting, and ML to improve efficiency and resilience across Walmart’s global network.
  • End-to-End Execution: Lead projects from framing business problems, to building and validating models, to partnering with engineering for deployment.

  • Future-Focused Capabilities: Advance scenario modeling, dynamic inventory placement, multi-echelon optimization, and placement orchestration for omni-channel fulfillment.
What you'll Bring...
  • Strong expertise in applied data science and advanced analytics (optimization, forecasting, simulation, machine learning)
  • Comfortability operating at both strategic and technical depth — from building models to influencing enterprise priorities
  • Experience simplifying complex science for senior leaders and business partners to drive adoption and decision-making
  • Ability to excel in ambiguous, high-pressure environments with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
  • A passion for solving global-scale inventory optimization challenges that directly improve customer experience
  • MBA, MS, or PhD in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Management, or Supply Chain Management
  • Experience implementing data science models using modern programming languages (e.g., Python, PySpark, R) and using large dataset mining tools (e.g., SQL)
  • Experience with advanced analytical modeling tools, network optimization, and long-range planning
  • Extensive experience or knowledge of eCommerce, retail and supply chain domains and related information systems — search, impressions, conversion, distribution/transportation, sourcing, planning, manufacturing, and inventory management
  • Retail industry experience
