Sr. Manager, Retail Strategy and Transformation

About the Role

Petco's Strategy & Transformation team drives enterprise-wide initiatives that shape the future of our omnichannel pet care ecosystem — from new business incubation and digital retail growth to strategic partnerships and operational transformation.

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Retail Strategy & Transformation with a consulting background and deep retail experience to lead strategic growth initiatives across Petco's retail, digital, and services businesses. This role is ideal for someone from a Big 4 or top-tier consulting firm (Deloitte, Accenture, BCG, etc.) who has worked with leading retail or consumer clients and is ready to move into an operator role.

You'll work cross-functionally with leaders in Merchandising, eCommerce, Supply Chain, Real Estate, and Marketing to identify new opportunities, assess markets, and turn bold ideas into scalable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Strategy Development & Incubation

• Partner with senior leadership to assess and incubate new business opportunities (e.g., Pet Rx, Pet Insurance, Digital Retail, Repeat Delivery).
• Conduct market and competitive assessments to identify growth areas, partnerships, or potential acquisitions.
• Translate high-level concepts into executable business plans with clear KPIs, financial models, and go-to-market strategies.
• Lead "tiger team" initiatives — fast-moving, cross-functional projects focused on testing and scaling high-impact ideas.
