Senior Manager - Tax

Position Summary...

The Senior Manager, Tax role within the Tax Technology and Data team, leads strategic programs and projects that enable Walmart's evolving global indirect tax capabilities. This role translates business priorities and partner-team requirements into clear direction, coordinated execution, and measurable outcomes across tax, technology, finance, product, engineering, and other stakeholders.

The Senior Manager will help shape and manage the program roadmap, operating rhythms, dependencies, risks, and decisions needed to deliver complex initiatives. The role does not perform tax research or tax planning; however, experience in tax, tax technology, financial systems, or related disciplines is valuable for understanding business needs and connecting them to practical solutions.

About the Team
Walmart's Tax Technology and Data team is part of the Indirect Tax organization and supports a technology- and data-enabled approach to tax across Walmart and Sam's Club. The team works with business, tax, finance, technology, product, engineering, and external partners to improve the accuracy, scalability, transparency, and efficiency of tax capabilities.
As Walmart's business and tax journey continues to expand across markets and geographies, the team is building durable processes, platforms, and partnerships that can support global growth. This is an opportunity to help lead a meaningful transformation at enterprise scale while improving how work gets done today.

What you'll do...

• Lead the direction and execution of complex tax technology, data, and transformation programs and projects, from discovery through delivery and operational adoption.
• Partner with tax and cross-functional teams to understand business needs, evaluate requirements, define outcomes, and translate priorities into actionable roadmaps, plans, and delivery decisions.
• Coordinate stakeholders, dependencies, milestones, and decision points across tax, finance, technology, product, engineering, operations, and external partners to maintain alignment and momentum.
• Establish program governance, operating rhythms, status reporting, and success measures that provide leaders with a clear view of progress, risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies.
• Communicate risks, delays, tradeoffs, and recommended actions to executive leadership and stakeholders in a concise, timely, and decision-oriented manner.
• Identify opportunities to simplify work, improve controls, remove friction, and increase efficiency across existing processes, tools, and operating models; lead practical improvements through implementation.
• Support budget planning and ongoing financial management by developing metrics, forecasts, and business insights that explain budget needs, surplus, deficits, and corrective actions.
• Use data and stakeholder input to measure outcomes, surface trends, and support prioritization across a portfolio of initiatives, including work with global and geographically distributed partners.
• Take initiative to identify emerging needs, resolve ambiguity, and move work forward with appropriate judgment, accountability, and limited direction.
• Build trusted relationships and influence without authority while fostering collaboration, transparency, and shared ownership across teams.
• Coach and support team members and partners in effective program, project, change, and stakeholder management practices.

What you'll bring

• Significant experience leading enterprise programs, complex projects, product initiatives, or transformation work across multiple functions and stakeholder groups.
• Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous business needs and partner requirements into clear priorities, plans, decisions, and measurable outcomes.
• Strong executive communication skills, including the ability to present concise status, metrics, risks, delays, tradeoffs, and recommendations to senior leaders.
• Experience managing roadmaps, dependencies, governance, delivery risks, issue resolution, and change adoption across a portfolio of work.
• Strong financial and analytical capability, including experience with budgets, forecasts, performance metrics, variance analysis, and data-informed decision-making.
• A continuous-improvement mindset with a record of finding efficiencies, strengthening processes, and delivering practical solutions that scale.
• Ability to build credibility and influence across tax, finance, technology, product, engineering, operations, and external partner organizations.
• Self-starter who takes ownership, operates effectively in ambiguity, follows through on commitments, and knows when to escalate decisions or risks.
• Experience with tax, tax technology, financial systems, data, or enterprise software implementation is helpful; direct tax research or tax planning experience is not the primary focus of this role.
• Excellent written, verbal, organizational, and relationship-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across domestic and global teams.
