Here, your work makes an impact every day. What are you waiting for? 

 

Walmart, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer – By Choice. We believe we are best equipped to help our associates, customers and the communities we serve live better when we really know them. That means understanding, respecting and valuing diversity – unique styles, experiences, identities, ideas and opinions – while being inclusive of all people. 

 

The role 

Currently, a significant portion of our customers choose to return their purchases at our Walmart Stores, even with a multitude of alternatives at their disposal. This pattern underscores the integral role our stores play in shaping our customers' return experiences. 

 

Walmart U.S. is actively seeking a dynamic and visionary Senior Product Manager to join our Enterprise Returns product team. The chosen candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic roadmap and execution of our product strategy for our Store Returns team. This will predominantly focus on two key areas: the customer service desk return experience powered by our Cloud-Powered Returns service, and our mobile return experience facilitated by our returns associate app, the primary tool for curbside returns. 

 

The Senior Product Manager will spearhead the evolution of the Store Returns experience. The role entails understanding the current landscape and fostering a unified and satisfying omni-channel returns experience for our customers, associates, and stores, that spans both Walmart.com and Walmart store returns. 

 

By employing data, analytics, customer feedback, Associate feedback, and competitor insights, the Product Manager will devise innovative returns solutions that cater to our customers' and associates' needs. The role involves close collaboration with Business, Operations, Engineering, Design, among other Return Product and Returns Experience teams. The ideal candidate should ideally possess a profound understanding of the post-purchase landscape, particularly in large-scale retail environments with a significant store presence. The ability to comfortably navigate ambiguity and manage complex, cross-functional strategic return initiatives is crucial.
