(USA) Principal, Product Manager

Position Summary... Walmart's Social Commerce team is building the creator commerce platform that will define the future of retail — a platform where creators are the connective tissue between Walmart's vast assortment and millions of engaged shoppers. We are investing aggressively in the infrastructure, tooling, and economics that make Walmart the most compelling destination for creators to build, grow, and monetize their audiences. The Creator Commerce Commercialization platform connects creators with the full spectrum of Walmart's demand ecosystem — 3P Marketplace sellers, national brand suppliers, Walmart's own marketing and merchandising teams — enabling any of these demand actors to discover the right creators, launch commission-based campaigns, and pay creators automatically upon sale. We serve thousands of creators and millions of demand actors today, and we are scaling rapidly toward a platform that powers billions in creator-attributed GMV. As a Principal Product Manager for Creator Commerce Commercialization, you will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the commercialization platform that sits at the center of this ecosystem — enabling multi-sided demand, and ensuring creators are discovered, activated, and rewarded at scale.
