📋 Description

• Own and grow TFD's strategic partnership, serving as the primary merchant relationship owner. Build and execute the joint business plan, lead Top-to-Top meetings, and develop senior relationships across Merchandising, Walmart Connect, Site Merchandising, and Supply Chain. • Lead the annual JBP end-to-end — growth targets,, promotional calendar, KPI framework, and quarterly business reviews — and ensure TFD delivers against every commitment. • Own the Walmart P&L— revenue, margin, trade, and contribution. Drive assortment availability, velocity, and household penetration across the Walmart footprint. • Co-own the 360° commercial program at Walmart in partnership with the Director of Shopper Marketing — translating the JBP into integrated programming across Walmart Connect media, the digital shelf, seasonal and event activation — with shared accountability for sell-through, household penetration, and ROI on trade and marketing investment. • Partner with the Director of Customer Supply Chain to ensure flawless operational and supply chain performance — aligned demand forecasting and replenishment, OTIF compliance, fees-and-fines mitigation, DC routing adherence, and inventory health across the assortment. • Lead the annual Walmart sales planning process, including volume forecasts, trade spend plans, and promotional calendars. Partner closely with Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations to ensure the business is set up to deliver against plan.
