Our Opportunity

Chewy is looking for a Program Manager, Strategy & Training, for the Category Management (CM) team.

This role will own cross-functional relationships and strategically partner with the business to build impactful learning solutions, and drive adoption of outstanding practices.

• Design, implement, and continuously improve interactive, engaging onboarding and training programs tailored to both brand-new Category Analysts (recent college graduates) and tenured hires joining our Category Management and Merchandising teams. Programs should be scalable, and utilize AI tooling where applicable.
• Ensure all experiences are multifaceted, hands-on, and learner-centered, incorporating simulations, real-world projects, gamification, and interactive workshops.
• Apply data-driven analysis to evaluate program efficiency, identify skill gaps, and optimize strategy & launch processes for trends and KPIs.
• Lead the full lifecycle of training programs from needs assessment through content creation, delivery, and post-program evaluation.
• Build learning roadmaps aligned to key business objectives including profitability, assortment expansion, customer experience, and vendor relations.
• Curate and develop a library of digital resources and best-practice guides specific to category management.
