Our Opportunity:
At Chewy, it is our mission 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 ways to delight, surprise, and thank our loyal pet lovers!
Chewy is hiring a Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)!
The Chewy DEI Center of Excellence (CoE) designs, drives, and accelerates Chewy’s strategies for inclusion across the talent lifecycle, working in partnership with HR and business leaders.
The Director of DEI combines a deep expertise in DEI principles and data with practical experience integrating DEI into talent processes and designing impactful programs that foster inclusion. The leader must be curious about Chewy’s business strategies, seeing opportunities for standard process sharing or tailored programming depending on what is common and what is unique. The leader has experience enabling effective employee resource groups and building scaling mechanisms to embed inclusion throughout a large organization. As the leader for the DEI COE, the Director builds impactful teams, attracting, retaining and developing diverse talent for the function. The leader also values operational excellence, change management and continuous improvement when designing programs. The Director has a soundtrack record of building trusted relationships with executives, business leaders and peers, and delivering results through collaboration and influence.

- Integrate DEI through the talent lifecycle for Chewtopians, working with Talent Acquisition for hiring, Talent Development for learning and development, Talent Management for annual talent processes like reviews and promotions, and HR Business Partners for business line-specific talent opportunities
- Provide oversight for DEI programs that ensures detailed execution, including equipping the team with tools, mechanisms and standard methodologies for robust program management
- Be responsible for the development of DEI metrics and analytics to set the standard for influencing decisions related to people, business practices, and other priorities
- Serve as a force multiplier by building scalable programs, identifying and sharing standard methodologies, and upskilling HR and business partners
- Lead an impactful team that has effective listening mechanisms for voice of the customer, prioritizes operational excellence, and stays current on developments in DEI inside and outside Chewy
What You'll Need (Experience):
- 10+ years of experience in human resources or related field of expertise
- 5-7+ years leading, developing and managing a team as well as broad scale organizational DEI workforce strategies (within a global organization a plus)
- 5+ years of experience regularly interfacing and communicating with executive business leaders
- 5+ years of experience in a client-facing role, including excellent listening skills and communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to communicate sophisticated information to varied audiences
- Experience using DEI data or HR data to craft compelling strategies to inspire change/drive improvements
- Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership
