About Team
GDF sits at the core of Walmart's AI & Data organization, building the foundational data platforms that make it possible for every team at Walmart — technical or non-technical — to build with trustworthy, well-governed, discoverable data. Our platforms serve billions of transactions and interactions across 19 countries, powering everything from supply chain intelligence to customer-facing personalization to enterprise AI agents. This particular team is newly formed to solve one of GDF's next big platform bets — which means you'll be shaping charter, operating model, and delivery cadence essentially from a blank page, not inheriting someone else's playbook.

What You'll Do
- Serve as the founding TPM for a newly created platform team — standing up program structure, delivery cadence, and governance where none previously existed.
- Manage large, cross-cutting software/platform development programs end-to-end, partnering closely with architects and engineering leaders on architectural decision-making.
- Define goals, stage gates,



critical delivery paths, and key deliverables for programs spanning multiple workstreams, dependencies, timelines, and resource constraints.
- Build and maintain strong stakeholder relationships across GDF, AI & Data, and downstream consuming teams — driving alignment on roles, responsibilities, and delivery cadences.
- Establish a resource capacity allocation process and tooling to bring planning rigor to a fast-moving, newly formed org.
- Drive productive engineering resource utilization; simplify and clarify priorities into plans with milestones suitable for advance planning and executive buy-in.
- Identify and champion AI-augmented program management practices — e.g., using AI to auto-summarize status updates, flag at-risk milestones from ticket/PR signal, or generate stakeholder-ready reporting — and work with tooling/eng leads to actually implement them.
- Navigate setbacks and ambiguity w
