Enablement Manager - Category Management

Our Opportunity

Chewy is looking for a Program Manager, Strategy & Training, for the Category Management (CM) team. You will collaborate with key partners to understand overall category strategy and then will develop training programs to drive the growth and performance of our CM teams. This role will own cross-functional relationships and strategically partner with the business to build impactful learning solutions, and drive adoption of outstanding practices. You will come from a merchandising or spent time in a related category management role for credibility and be ready to take on a broader role working with leadership to enable the next generation of Category Managers at Chewy. We have an incredible product offering surrounded by outstanding Team Members, and you'll be instrumental in ensuring our teams are equipped with the digital, analytical, and strategic skills needed to grow.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and continuously improve interactive, engaging onboarding and training programs tailored to both brand-new Category Analysts (recent college graduates) and tenured hires joining our Category Management and Merchandising teams. Programs should be scalable, and apply AI tooling where applicable.
• Ensure all experiences are multifaceted, hands-on, and learner-centered, incorporating simulations, real-world projects, gamification, and interactive workshops.
• Apply data-driven analysis to evaluate program efficiency, identify skill gaps, and optimize strategy & launch processes for trends and critical metrics.
• Lead the full lifecycle of training programs from needs assessment through content creation, delivery, and post-program evaluation.
• Build learning roadmaps aligned to key business objectives including profitability, assortment expansion, customer experience, and vendor relations.
• Curate and develop a library of digital resources and best-practice guides specific to category management.
