Description
Welcome to Destination Pet. We are One Pack- a united team working together to elevate the love and lives of pet families. Our pet-obsessed professionals create a connected care network of trustworthy partners who bring creative innovation every day. We are revolutionizing the pet industry. Join us!
We are looking for someone who can take a defined initiative, partner with the right subject matter experts, and get it across the finish line every time. That's the heart of this role: coordinating the execution of Destination Pet's people-focused initiatives from performance review cycles to onboarding programs to career path development while our CHRO and HR leadership own the roadmap and priorities.You'll partner with whichever subject matter experts and stakeholders each initiative requires, from executive leadership to front-line, hourly employees. A passion for improving employee experience, and a clear sense of how that connects to business results matters far more than deep HR expertise.
