Walmart\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, the world's largest retailer, is looking for a crypto expert who can help build and implement an ambitious digital currency strategy and product plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart specifies that it is searching for someone with a track record of leading and scaling businesses, as well as at least 10 years of expertise in product\/program management and technology-based product commercialization in the job description. The ideal candidate will be knowledgeable in cryptocurrencies and blockchain-related technology<\/a>, as well as the crypto ecosystem and its key players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart has hinted at the direction of its future digital currency policy by stating that it already offers a “broad set of payment options for its customers” \u2014 but not in cryptocurrency. Walmart had already submitted a patent in 2019 for a blockchain-based US dollar-backed digital currency, which was comparable to Facebook's early plans for what was then known as Libra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart launched a fintech initiative called “Hazel” this year, which could be positioned to offer a wide range of financial services combined into a “mobile-first “super-app,” according to reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart's future Digital Currency and Crypto <\/a>Product Lead will be based in Bentonville, Arkansas, where the firm is headquartered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priorities include understanding customer demands and converting them into product requirements, designing and pushing an overarching crypto strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart is not alone among North American megacorporations in attempting to incorporate digital money into its e-commerce and overall business strategy. Amazon advertised a position in February for a manager to handle a new digital currency business in Mexico, which would allow consumers to spend digital money while shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart's blockchain-related ventures have so far focused on leveraging the technology for supply chain management, customer marketplaces, and smart appliances, in addition to its gradual push into digital money<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
