Walmart is seeking a highly strategic and results-driven Director, Global Cash Management Strategy (APAC) to lead the design, governance, and execution of cash management strategies across Walmart Inc.s global holding companies, marketplace entities, and sourcing hubs. This role is critical in shaping how Walmart optimizes liquidity, deploys capital, and manages financial risk across a complex, multi-entity, multi-jurisdictional global footprint, with a strong focus on Asia-Pacific markets.
This leader will establish enterprise-wide frameworks, policies, and infrastructure to enable best-in-class cash visibility, control, and efficiency. The role will partner closely with global treasury leadership, tax, legal, controllership, FP&A, business teams, and external banking partners to drive scalable, compliant, and forward-looking treasury solutions, while navigating nuanced regulatory and central bank requirements across APAC.
What you'll do:
- Define and lead the global cash management strategy across Walmart's holding companies, marketplace entities, and sourcing hubs, with primary ownership for APAC execution, aligning liquidity, capital allocation, and risk management with enterprise priorities while adapting to region-specific regulatory and central bank requirements.
- Establish and govern a comprehensive global framework for cash visibility, forecasting, and execution, including policies, controls, and standardized processes that ensure compliance with diverse local regulations, including complex central bank and liquidity restrictions across APAC markets.
- Partner cross-functionally with Treasury, Tax, FP&A, Controllership, Legal, and business teams—as well as external banking partners—to align cash strategies with entity structures, regulatory requirements, and market-specific constraints, ensuring effective and compliant execution across jurisdictions.
- Own and optimize global banking strategy and relationships across APAC, including account lifecycle management, KYC oversight, and ongoing performance monitoring; navigate country-specific banking regulations and central bank requirements to ensure seamless operations and compliance.
- Design and optimize global liquidity structures, including cash pooling, concentration, and in-house banking models, tailoring approaches to accommodate restricted markets, capital controls, and regulatory limitations common in APAC while maximizing capital efficiency.
- Drive funding and repatriation strategies in close partnership with Corporate Treasury, balancing enterprise liquidity objectives with local regulatory requirements, including dividend restrictions, intercompany lending rules, and central bank approvals.
- Leverage bank capabilities, ERP automation, and emerging technologies (including AI and advanced analytics) to transform cash management processes, ensuring solutions are scalable globally while adaptable to varying APAC regulatory environments.
- Lead treasury transformation initiatives that streamline operations, standardize processes where possible, and thoughtfully accommodate necessary regional deviations driven by regulatory or central bank constraints.
- Establish performance metrics, reporting, and governance routines that provide transparency into global cash positions, banking performance, and liquidity effectiveness, including visibility into APAC-specific constraints and risks.
- Build and lead a high-performing team while influencing senior stakeholders globally to drive adoption of best practices, ensuring teams are equipped to manage both global standards and regional complexity.
What you'll bring:
