• 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

• 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

• 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.

  • 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.
