(USA) Senior, Data Analyst - Global Marketplace & eCommerce Compliance (GMEC), Monitoring and Reporting

Position Summary...

What you'll do...

This position will be located at our brand new campus in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Walmart is the largest retail corporation in the world and the Global Marketplace & eCommerce Compliance team is disrupting and revolutionizing the establishment by being more data driven in their analysis and integrating Machine Learning algorithms to get a more comprehensive understanding of details missed by humans. We extend our reach to 4000 stores across the U.S. for testing and deploying sophisticated models of all kinds for every facet or step during the retail supply chain lifecycle. The sophistication afforded by machine learning algorithms allows for more segmentation, which allows for more detailed and descriptive insights. In attempting this, we are also reshaping the attitude of the business towards adopting and trusting AI to be most impactful based on the amount of historical data and investment required.

There is a wide gamut of challenges, and the obstacles are numerous to shift the thinking between solving for customers’ needs in physical stores versus e-commerce.  The challenge of employing ML techniques in retail at such a wide scale, across varied categories of items, presents a great opportunity for creative solutions.
