Your Opportunity:

Chewy is seeking an Associate Director of Compensation to lead compensation strategy for Chewy Vet Care (CVC), our fastest-growing line of business and a critical pillar of Chewy’s long-term strategy. Based in our Plantation, FL headquarters, this role will serve as the lead compensation partner to Chewy Vet Care, working closely with HR, Talent Acquisition, and business leadership. This is a highly visible, high-impact individual contributor role responsible for building and scaling compensation programs across a complex, multi-site healthcare environment.

You will play a key role in shaping how we attract, retain, and reward veterinary and support talent across practices, field operations, and corporate teams. This includes designing compensation structures from the ground up, establishing job architecture and leveling, and ensuring programs are competitive, scalable, and aligned to business growth.

This role requires strong business judgment, analytical rigor, and executive presence, along with the ability to navigate complexity in a fast-paced, regulated healthcare environment. The ideal candidate combines a framework-driven approach with a hands-on, execution-oriented mindset—equally comfortable advising senior leaders on compensation strategy and driving complex compensation initiatives from design through implementation. This role is ideal for a compensation leader who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from scratch, and is excited to influence strategy in a rapidly evolving healthcare business.

What You’ll Do:

• Serve as the primary compensation advisor for Chewy Vet Care, shaping strategy for a high-growth and highly visible business

• Partner with HRBPs, Talent Acquisition, and business leadership to deliver data-driven compensation recommendations

• Lead job evaluation, leveling, and market pricing for a diverse set of healthcare roles (clinic, field, corporate, and hybrid)

• Design and implement scalable compensation structures, including hourly, salaried, and incentive-based pay models

• Build and evolve wage structures and incentive programs aligned to healthcare market practices, regional dynamics, and regulatory requirements

• Develop custom compensation frameworks to support new clinic launches, market expansion, and talent retention strategies

• Contribute to building a scalable job architecture and internal mobility framework for healthcare roles

• Monitor market trends, survey data, and regulatory changes to inform ongoing compensation strategy

• Develop tools, frameworks, and education materials to enable consistent and effective compensation decision-making

• Present recommendations and influence senior HR and business leaders

What You’ll Need:

• 8+ years of progressive compensation experience, including support for healthcare, clinical, or high-growth field organizations

• 5+ years of experience partnering with and influencing senior leaders and executives

• Deep expertise with managing job architecture, market pricing, pay equity, and incentive design

• Proven ability to build and scale compensation programs in ambiguous or early-stage environments

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence across all levels

• Collaborative, adaptable work style with strong cross-functional partnership skills

• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Finance, Business, or related field; CCP preferred

• Proficiency in Workday, Excel, and PowerPoint

Bonus:

• Experience with clinical or healthcare compensation structures

• Exposure to commission or incentive pay design for field or relationship/sales roles

• Background in job architecture implementation or re-mapping

• Familiarity with regulations impacting healthcare compensation (e.g., FLSA state wage laws)

What You’ll Get:

• Opportunity to build and shape compensation strategy for a fast-growing healthcare business

• A high-impact role with access to senior leadership

• Opportunities for career growth and development within a rapidly scaling organization

• A place where you can be your authentic self and grow your career. Our pet parents and partners are from everywhere--different places and different walks of life. It is what makes them unique. Likewise, Chewtopians are encouraged to bring their perspectives to deliver on our mission!
