To thrive as an ESG Manager, you need a solid understanding of environmental, social, and governance principles, regulatory frameworks, and a relevant degree such as sustainability, environmental science, or business. Familiarity with ESG reporting standards (like GRI or SASB), data analysis tools, and sometimes certifications such as CFA ESG Investing are commonly required.

What are ESG Managers?

ESG Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing a company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. They ensure that business operations align with sustainability goals, ethical standards, and regulatory requirements. Their duties often include developing ESG strategies, monitoring performance, reporting progress to stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with relevant ESG frameworks. ESG Managers play a crucial role in helping organizations improve their social responsibility and long-term sustainability.

What are some common challenges ESG Managers face when integrating sustainability practices across different departments?

ESG Managers often encounter challenges such as varying levels of sustainability awareness among departments, resistance to change, and aligning ESG initiatives with existing business goals. Collaboration is key, as the role requires effective communication and coordination with teams in operations, finance, compliance, and communications to ensure ESG objectives are understood and implemented. Overcoming these obstacles typically involves targeted training, clear reporting structures, and demonstrating the value of ESG strategies to overall business performance.

Job Description:

Chewy’s Environmental Compliance team within EHS is seeking a Program Manager, Environmental Sustainability & ESG Reporting! Reporting to the Senior Program Manager, Environmental Compliance, you will advance Chewy’s sustainability and ESG reporting programs. You will be building the internal frameworks, data governance, and cross-functional operating rhythms that support sustainability strategy, ESG reporting, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). You will translate evolving regulations and goals into scalable processes, reliable data, and actionable solutions as a trusted advisor balancing environmental excellence with operational priorities, delivering audit-ready disclosures for investors, regulators, and other interested parties. Does this sound like you? We want you to apply today!

What you'll do:

  • ESG Program Development & Reporting:
    • Build and mature Chewy’s ESG and sustainability reporting framework: governance cadence, reporting calendars, data owners, controls, documentation, and leadership-ready updates.
    • Coordinate ESG reporting inputs across business units; collect, validate, analyze, and summarize environmental data for regulatory disclosures, investor reporting, ratings and assessments, and leadership updates.
    • Coordinate climate-related regulatory disclosures and investor-facing ESG materials by translating technical data into clear narratives, metrics, and action plans
  • GHG Accounting & Environmental Metrics:
    • Lead Chewy’s GHG inventory for Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 categories
    • Build and maintain dashboards and benchmark tools for energy, water, waste, diversion, GHG emissions, and compliance completion
    • Partner with site and corporate Team Members to improve data completeness, traceability, and audit readiness across systems of record.
  • Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) & Sustainable Packaging:
    • Support development and execution of Chewy’s EPR program for packaging and recycling obligations across U.S. states and Canadian provinces — registrations, reporting, source reduction, fee tracking, data validation, and compliance calendars
    • Coordinate packaging material data collection and validation with Packaging, Merchandising, Procurement, Private Brands, Legal, Finance, and other partners for accurate EPR submissions and decisions.
    • Find opportunities to reduce EPR fee exposure and environmental impact through better packaging data, light-weighting, material optimization, recyclability, diversion, source reduction, and supplier engagement.
  • Sustainability Advancement & Continuous Improvement:
    • Identify, prioritize, and scale sustainability initiatives that improve operational efficiency, reduce waste, increase diversion, lower energy and water consumption, and deliver measurable return on investment.
    • Develop playbooks, and reporting cadences for enterprise sustainability initiatives with Operations, Real Estate & Construction, Procurement, Finance, and other interested parties.
    • Share updates, metrics, risks, and recommendations with EHS leadership and cross-functional Team Members for proactive sustainability management.
  • Environmental Compliance & Permitting Support:
    • Assist with environmental compliance reporting and permitting for new and existing operations and support compliance readiness for new sites and business expansion by coordinating data, waste planning, permits, vendor records, and regulatory tracking with project teams.
    • Assist with inventory and product onboarding reviews to identify environmental, DOT, hazardous materials, battery, aerosol, chemical, or sustainability reporting obligations before launch.
    • Maintain documentation for environmental audits, regulatory inquiries, data requests, and compliance calendar deliverables; partner with EHS and site operations to identify process gaps, document corrective actions, and support timely closure.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership:
    • Partner cross-functionally with EHS, Operations, Packaging, Supply Chain, Procurement, Legal, Finance, Investor Relations, Real Estate & Construction, and other teams to advance environmental compliance, sustainability, and ESG initiatives
    • Communicate complex environmental and sustainability topics practically and build trusted relationships that drive adoption of new reporting processes, sustainability initiatives, and performance improvements.

What you'll need:

  • Education:
    • Bachelor’s degree required in Environmental Science, Sustainability, Environmental Engineering, EHS, Environmental Management, Data Analytics, Public Policy, or related field
  • Experience:
    • 4+ years of relevant experience in ESG or sustainability reporting, environmental compliance, GHG accounting, EPR or packaging compliance, sustainability program management, or related
    • Practical experience in reporting processes, regulatory disclosures, ESG dashboards, data validation, narrative development, and cross-functional data collection.
    • Hands-on experience with the GHG Protocol and carbon accounting (Scope 1 and 2); Scope 3 data collection, calculation methods, and supplier/value-chain data familiarity preferred.
    • Experience with EPR reporting, packaging data, recycling/waste optimization, RCRA tracking, or multi-site environmental compliance preferred; experience in retail, e-commerce, distribution, logistics, or other multi-site operations preferred.
  • Skills and Abilities:
    • Working knowledge of sustainability reporting frameworks: GHG Protocol, CDP, SASB, GRI, TCFD/ISSB, or similar.
    • Understanding of federal, state, and local environmental compliance (RCRA, stormwater/wastewater, air emissions, EPCRA/Tier II, SPCC, hazardous and universal waste) preferred.
    • Strong analytical skills: manage complex data sets, identify trends, build dashboards, and translate data into insights and recommendations; proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel), with experience in ESG, GHG, or compliance systems (e.g., Persefoni, Workiva, Intelex) preferred.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication
    • High attention to detail, sound judgment, and curiosity, with the ability to build scalable processes where structure does not yet exist.
  • Certifications:
    • Professional certifications are preferred, not required; demonstrated experience with ESG/EPR reporting outcomes outweighs any single credential. Relevant credentials include GHG Inventory Quantifier/Verifier, FSA Credential, ISSP-SA/ISSP-CSP, CHMM, LEED GA/AP, PMP, or similar.
