The Technical Program Manager will lead complex, cross-functional programs at Chewy's Pet Health team, focusing on delivery, risk management, and stakeholder communication across technical and non-technical teams.
Job Description:
Our Team
Chewy's Pet Health team is on a mission to make pet healthcare simpler, more accessible, and a little less stressful for pet parents (and their furry sidekicks). From scaling telehealth to optimizing user experiences across the pet prescription space, we're building products that genuinely make a difference in how people care for their pets.
Engineering is at the heart of that journey. We're a curious, collaborative group that cares just as much about why we're building something as how we build. We celebrate wins, learn from missteps without blame, and continuously raise the bar for ourselves and each other. Whether it's contributing to shared platforms or partnering across teams, you'll find plenty of opportunities to make a real impact and grow along the way
Our Opportunity
Chewy is seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM), Pet Health Engineering to lead high-impact, cross-functional programs across our Pet Health ecosystem. This role can be based in Boston, MA or Seattle, WA.
You will own delivery across critical customer journeys and foundational platforms, including Telemedicine, prescription/Rx workflows, and Pet Insurance. These programs sit at the intersection of customer experience, healthcare workflows, and scalable platform architecture.
In this role, you will partner closely with Engineering, Product, Data, and Platform teams to deliver complex, multi-quarter initiatives that directly impact customer experience, operational efficiency, and business growth.
As a TPM, you will operate at the intersection of technology, product, and execution. You'll own end-to-end delivery across distributed systems and influence how we scale Pet Health at Chewy.
