  • Lead the identification and implementation of program management processes and governance mechanisms to support Healthcare initiatives
  • Track key milestones and manage detailed program plans to drive execution, accountability, and Customer Service readiness
  • Communicate program status updates to Customer Care leadership and Healthcare stakeholders
  • Identify areas of risk for poor customer experience and partner with business owners to address and remediate prior to launch
  • Manage interdependencies across Healthcare initiatives to ensure risks and impacts are proactively surfaced
  • Foster collaboration, strategic alignment, and integrated planning across senior stakeholders

What You'll Need:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Operations Management or a related quantitative degree
  • 7+ years of experience in project/program management
  • Ability to engage a cross-functional team towards a desired outcome and to build strong business relationships at all levels and effectively communicate across functional teams
  • PMP or Six Sigma certified
  • Strong change management skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Strong leadership, problem solving and analytical skills
  • Ability to perform well with time-sensitive tasks
  • Must have excellent presentation skills including use of common tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (advance level)
  • Position may require travel

The base salary range for this role is $149,000 - $245,000.00.
  • The specific salary offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including but not limited to the candidate's relevant experience, education, and work location. In addition, this position is eligible for 401k and a new hire and annual equity grant. C08+ positions may also be eligible for annual bonus.

We offer different types of insurance and benefits, such as medical/Rx, vision, dental, life, disability, hospital indemnity, critical illness, and accident. We offer parental leave, family services benefits, backup dependent care, flexible spending accounts, telemedicine, pet adoption reimbursement, employee assistance program, and many discounts including 10% off pet insurance and 20% off at Chewy.com.
