About Beauty

Beauty is one of Walmart’s most dynamic, trend-driven businesses—spanning skincare, cosmetics, hair care, fragrance, and tools across stores and digital. The team operates through disciplined business rhythms (forecasting, line reviews, modular and promotional planning) and close collaboration with suppliers and internal partners.

  • Build and maintain forecasts and scenario analyses to inform key decisions and business rhythms
  • Develop executive-ready storytelling using dashboards and visualizations to influence strategy and priorities
  • Identify risks/opportunities and recommend actions across assortment, pricing, promotions, and modular execution
  • Improve analytics processes and tools to increase speed, accuracy, and decision quality.

What you’ll bring

  • 6+ years in merchandising, category analytics, finance, or strategy with measurable business impact
  • Advanced forecasting and financial acumen (P&L drivers, margin, inventory, markdown dynamics)
  • Strong data/BI skills (e.g., SQL plus Tableau/Power BI) and ability to build decision-ready narratives
  • Experience influencing senior stakeholders with structured insights and clear recommendations
  • Proven ability to scale analytics through process improvement and automation
