Our Opportunity:

Chewy is seeking a Sr. Technical Program Manager in Seattle, WA or Boston, MA. Chewy's mission is to be the most trusted and convenient online destination for pet parents and partners everywhere. We are obsessed with meeting the needs of pets and pet parents and exceeding customer expectations through every interaction. Within Chewy, the Chewy Health team is focused on redefining how pet parents care for their pets and how veterinarians support them. We are on an exciting journey to build out a comprehensive set of virtual care solutions that deeply engage and interconnect vets and pet parents, making it easier for pets of all shapes and sizes to lead healthy, happy lives.

Once root cause contributors are identified, you will work cross-functionally to deliver enhancements, balancing customer experience with technical and business constraints.
