  • Serve as the Site Experience team's liaison to Chewy's enterprise-wide AI roadmap, driving awareness and adoption of AI-powered solutions that elevate content quality, streamline operations, and enhance personalization capabilities.
  • Define and track operational KPIs that measure content accuracy, timeliness, scalability, and relevance; analyze content operations data to identify trends, uncover issues, and inform continuous improvement opportunities.
  • Represent the Site Experience Operations function in cross-functional roadmap planning with Product, Engineering, UX, and Creative/Marketing stakeholders, advocating for personalization-enabling capabilities and AI-driven efficiencies.
  • Partner with other Program Managers and Product Managers to align on content strategy, tooling needs, and execution excellence across static and dynamic experiences-while proactively surfacing risks, inconsistencies, or misalignments with business objectives.


What You'll Need:
  • Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, operations, or a related field.
  • 6+ years of experience in program management, or site operations; experience managing direct reports within a matrixed organization strongly preferred.

  • Strong cross-functional verbal and written communication skills and experience influencing product/tooling roadmaps, especially for content and personalization platforms.
  • Proven ability to build scalable operational workflows that support dynamic content execution and QA.
  • Fluency in content operations tooling, with an understanding of how emerging technologies-such as AI and automation-can streamline repetitive workflows and improve execution accuracy.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, with a knack for creating structure and clarity within complex digital environments.
  • Experience with personalization platforms or CMS systems supporting dynamic content (e.g., Adobe Target, Dynamic Yield).
  • Familiarity with segmentation, targeting logic, and testing strategies.
  • Experience with project management and data visualization tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Tableau).
