Director, Product Design

Job Description:

Our Opportunity

At Chewy, we strive to be 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 outside the Chewy box to delight, surprise, and thank our loyal pet lovers!

Within our Product Design & Research team, we bring that mission to life by crafting experiences that delight customers and support the businesses and veterinarians who care for pets. We’re a team of passionate designers, researchers, and builders who care deeply about our craft—and about pets.

You will reinvent how pet care is delivered - designing customer first experiences spanning including physical practices, telemedicine and triage, and prescriptions.
