Associate AI Product Manager

We are looking for an Associate AI Product Manager (entry-level position) to join our team for a 6-month contract (backfill). This is an opportunity for a highly-capable entry-level individual to gain valuable industry experience, as part of a team of strong product professionals.
You'll work at the intersection of Data Science, e-commerce, and data platforms - owning capabilities that directly shape how millions of customers discover and buy products. Youll own real product problems, and work across Walmart's e-commerce organization.
The ideal candidate will have strong analytical and technical foundations - from a quantitative, engineering, or CS background - combined with hands-on experience working alongside data science or ML teams, strong intuitions on how to define quality criteria and drive model improvements, and the ability to take full ownership of a technical backlog and deliver results independently.
Responsibilities:
Own, deeply understand, and execute plans for improving NLP / DS models and capabilities across various domains and customer needs; from prioritizing improvement iterations, through defining quality criteria, to collaborating with DS and Engineering on delivery.
Define evaluation frameworks: Establish quality dimensions, create labelling guidelines and examples, and work with quality and data science teams to build automated evaluation pipelines.
Own and drive a prioritized backlog of improvements to platform capabilities; understand the domain in-depth, gather feedback and faults (incl. customer analytics), and apply methodical reasoning to assess best prioritization within a given capacity.
Collaborate with data science and ML engineers as well as with global product teams, to translate product problems into model improvements; challenge assumptions, evaluate trade-offs, and drive measurable outcomes.
Manage multiple concurrent workstreams across a global, cross-timezone team.
