Spark Driver—our largest last-mile network—now spans all 50 states, reaches over 94% of U.S. households, and plays a pivotal role in Walmart’s eCommerce growth by enabling fast, flexible, and cost-effective fulfillment.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Sr. Manager of AI Supply Automation to lead the development of intelligent, data-driven systems that balance driver supply with fulfillment demand—at massive scale. You will build and refine AI-led automation that forecasts supply gaps and autonomously triggers interventions to optimize Spark’s reliability, cost, and coverage.

What You'll Do

• Partner with Operations, Product, Engineering and Data Science to scale intelligent decision-making across markets.

• Collaborate with Field Ops to test supply interventions and evaluate impact.

• Define and own supply-side KPIs (e.g., coverage rate, supply utilization, incentive ROI).

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in supply planning, logistics optimization, product analytics, or applied AI.

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate data into operational impact.

• Proficiency in SQL and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Mode).

• Experience collaborating across product, operations, and technical teams.

• Effective communicator with an ability to explain complex ideas to non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, or behavioral segmentation.

• Background in marketplace logistics, gig economy, or AI-based operational systems.

• Experience designing and measuring the impact of automated interventions at scale.

• Familiarity with agentic system design and real-time system feedback loops.

• Ability to drive iterative thinking in ambiguous, fast-evolving problem spaces.
