Director, Customer Experience and Defect Elimination

Our Opportunity:
At Chewy, we aim to become the most trusted and convenient online destination for pet parents and our partners - vets and service providers - alike. Our success is measured by the happiness of the people and pets we serve, not simply by the amount of pet supplies we deliver. That's why we continue to think of outside-the-Chewy-box of ways to delight, surprise, and thank our loyal pet lovers!

They align priorities and interface frequently with senior leaders. They drive solutions that improve customer satisfaction and loyalty and champion the long-term customer experience vision. By uniting customer insights, business priorities, and operational excellence, they shape how Chewy delivers extraordinary service today and in the future. As a strategic partner to leaders across Chewy, the Director sets the vision and direction for the Customer Care programs organization.
