Position Description
What you'll do
The Walmart Global eCommerce team is responsible for building and enhancing the next generation global eCommerce capabilities for our rapidly expanding customer base. This role will use one of the most comprehensive consumer data sets in the world to optimize and personalize experiences for our customers.
As Director of Product Management -- Data Science, you will lead strategy and implementation of our modeling efforts to deliver the most relevant digital messages to our existing and prospective customers. The tactics will include -- but are not limited to -- bidding and buying practices across paid media such as search engine marketing, real-time bidding platforms, paid social contexts and other internal personalization platforms.
In all cases, scale and efficiency are essential as Walmart offers one of the largest product catalogs in the world. For this reason, nearly all of our solutions are designed and implemented in-house. Combining elements of optimization, experimentation and growth hacking you will deliver and enhance systems which feed the right message to the right user at precisely the most impactful moment.
The role is not relegated to a science experiment however. You will have direct accountability to business goals (goals that you will help set and determine how to measure).
We are a high-performance team looking for others who will challenge us to become even better. Come join an organization where you’ll have the opportunity to contribute significant impact by solving problems at a scale available to only a few entities in the world. At Walmart eCommerce, the products you create are only bound by the scope of your imagination.
