The Opportunity

We are seeking a commercially minded analyst with hands-on experience turning Walmart sales and inventory data into actionable business recommendations. You will identify where sales are being constrained, quantify opportunities and recommend specific actions to improve sales, in-stock performance and promotional execution.

Working with the Sales Team Lead, you will independently investigate performance trends, bring solutions to the table and own follow-through with Walmart counterparts and internal teams. You will translate retail demand into inventory requirements, giving Supply and Operations clear visibility to demand changes, inventory risks and upcoming needs.

Success means explaining what is happening, recommending what to do next and measuring the result. Hands-on Walmart analytical experience is required. McKesson experience is an asset.

Own working relationships and follow-through
