Our core values capture that spirit as we work to improve lives by doing what’s right for pets and people.

About Petco:

We’re proud to be 'where the pets go' to find everything they need to live their best lives for more than 60 years — from their favorite meals and toys, to trusted supplies and expert support from people who get it, because we live it. We believe in the universal truths of pet parenthood — the boundless boops, missing slippers, late night zoomies and everything in between. And we’re here for it. Every tail wag, every vet visit, every step of the way. We are 29,000+ strong and together we nurture the pet‑human bond in more than 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico, 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals, hundreds of preventive care clinics and eight distribution centers. In 1999, we founded Petco Love. Together, we support thousands of local animal welfare groups nationwide and have helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in‑store adoption events.

As the Senior Manager, Pet Services Customer Strategy, you will play a critical role in shaping and executing strategic initiatives to drive customer acquisition, cross‑service attachment, and lifetime value (LTV) across Petco’s Vet, Grooming, and Dog Training business units. You will design, build, and optimize data‑driven customer growth journeys that transition single‑service or retail‑only shoppers into deeply loyal, multi‑service pet parents. Combining consumer insights, omni‑channel friction reduction, and vendor partnerships, you will ensure our service offerings are seamlessly integrated into the Petco ecosystem to maximize household share‑of‑wallet and pet health outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

Omnichannel Friction & Cross‑Functional Partnership

• Eliminate Customer Friction Points: Actively identify and resolve customer experience pain points across all physical and digital touchpoints to streamline the customer experiences.
• Champion Services Across Channels: Partner closely with Digital, Media, SEO, and Integrated Marketing teams to ensure the Pet Services customer growth strategy is prioritized, consistently represented, and fully supported across all major marketing channels.

Vendor Partnerships & Go‑To‑Market (GTM)

• Strategic Vendor Offers: Collaborate with key external vendors to identify, negotiate, and implement strategic offers and promotions designed to accelerate customer acquisition or grow specific service categories.
• GTM Calendar Management: Lead the Pet Services GTM calendar, ensuring service campaigns, vendor promos, and cross‑functional marketing efforts are seamlessly coordinated and executed on schedule.

Customer Lifecycle & Growth Strategy

• Optimize Customer Journeys: Map and deploy end‑to‑end customer lifecycles that transition retail product shoppers into high‑value service clients
• Maximize Lifetime Value (LTV): Build and optimize retention and win‑back campaigns to increase visit frequency and minimize client churn across salons and hospitals.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Alignment

• Drive Alignment Across Key Verticals: Lead collaborative efforts with core business departments, including Operations, Marketing, Digital, Finance, Loyalty, and Creative, to ensure services‑led customer growth strategies are operationally feasible and financially sound.
• Operational Readiness: Partner with Operations to ensure customer‑facing campaigns align with services capacity, scheduling workflows, and in‑store staffing levels.

Strategic Offer Modeling & Growth Reporting

• Model Strategic Offers: Proactively build and model promotional offers designed to drive service trial, first‑time visits, and returning customer frequency, ensuring a healthy balance between margin and volume.
• Report on Promotion ROI: Establish clear tracking for trial and return‑visit campaigns, reporting regularly on promotion lift, repeat booking behaviors, and incremental revenue.
• Synthesize Performance for Leadership: Translate complex campaign outcomes and cohort performance into highly visual, impact‑focused syntheses and presentations for senior leadership to guide future promotional investments.

Required Skills:

• Comfortable with working in a fast‑paced, results driven environment
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Proven track record of leading strategic initiatives, process improvement, acquiring cross‑functional alignment and hitting goals
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable insights
• Proficient Excel and PowerPoint skills, with highly developed presentation skills
• Passion to continuously provide exceptional customer service to all internal business partners
• Data‑driven decision‑maker with high degree of competence in analyzing data
• This position is deadline intensive and requires the ability to gracefully and seamlessly handle multiple tasks while simultaneously being highly visible
