Hiring Manager

Walmart Raymond Regional Distribution Center

42 Freetown Road

Raymond, NH 03077

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the [Senior Manager I, Operations Improvement, Facility] position at Walmart’s Raymond Regional Distribution Center. As a project manager and SAFe-certified delivery leader with extensive experience guiding complex, cross-functional initiatives, improving operational processes, and helping teams deliver measurable results, I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to Walmart’s Supply Chain Operations Improvement organization.

Throughout my career, I have led multiple initiatives simultaneously while maintaining strong governance, clear stakeholder communication, and disciplined risk and dependency management. In my most recent role with SAP, I directed delivery across three cross-functional teams supporting enterprise-scale ServiceNow integrations. Through improved scheduling, execution oversight, and proactive blocker resolution, I helped increase on-time delivery by 15% and improve delivery predictability by 25%. I also led planning, risk management, and business review events that strengthened alignment and contributed to a 20% increase in objective achievement.

The Operations Improvement focus of this role strongly aligns with my experience translating complex business needs into practical, sustainable processes. At SAP Concur, I partnered with Sales, Field Services, Billing, and IT to improve approval workflows and resolve operational issues. These efforts reduced quote approval wait times by 50% to 90% and helped protect high-value customer opportunities. I also developed and led recurring enablement and training sessions that improved operational capability and reduced escalations—experience that would support Walmart’s emphasis on adoption, standardization, and change leadership.

I bring a collaborative, hands-on leadership style grounded in accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement. I have facilitated cross-functional planning, led knowledge-transfer and onboarding programs, managed UAT and release readiness, and used tools such as Jira, ServiceNow PPM, Azure DevOps, Confluence, SharePoint, Excel, and AI-enabled reporting solutions to improve visibility and reduce administrative effort. At SAP, automation reduced reporting overhead by 80%, allowing teams to spend more time addressing risks, resolving impediments, and delivering business value.

And I live right here in Bedford, New Hampshire which is an easy drive to Raymond from here. I would be thrilled to support the Raymond facility and contribute to Walmart’s commitment to serving customers with speed, accuracy, and consistency. Thank you for your consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience in project governance, process improvement, stakeholder leadership, and operational enablement could support the Walmart team. Please feel free to give me a call, I’d love to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Robert Nielsen
