Director, Digital Merchandising and Marketplace
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have headings: About the Team, About the Location, About the Role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Additional Job Considerations? Actually "Additional Job Considerations" maybe not a standard heading; but we can treat as part of Qualifications? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for About the Team, About the Location, About the Role, Responsibilities (under Key Responsibilities), Qualifications, Additional Job Considerations (maybe we can incorporate into Qualifications or as a separate section like "Additional Considerations"). Also there is "About The Culture" with details about amenities; that could be a section like "Culture and Benefits" or "Benefits". The instruction says include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. The culture section lists amenities: pet-friendly environment, on-site dog park, events, gym, café, childcare, volunteer opportunities, print center, etc. Those are benefits/amenities. So we can create a Benefits section with those items as a list.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Director, Digital Merchandising and Marketplace". Not used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes into which sections.
Sections:
- About the Team (prose)
- About the Location (prose)
- About the Role (prose) maybe summarizing the role description.
- Responsibilities (list from Key Responsibilities)
- Qualifications (list from Qualifications)
- Benefits (list from culture/amenities)
- Possibly "Additional Job Considerations" could be part of Qualifications or separate; but we can include as a separate section "Additional Considerations" with prose.
But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Additional Job Considerations into Qualifications or About the Role? However it's about collaboration, teamwork, face-to-face interaction, office presence, etc. Could be part of About the Location? Actually location already covers hybrid work expectations. Additional Job Considerations mentions collaboration, teamwork, face-to-face interaction, being in office ensures access to leaders, etc. That's similar to location/culture. Could merge into About the Location or Culture. But we already have About the Location covering hybrid expectations. Additional Job Considerations is more about why office presence matters. Could be part of About the Location as additional prose.
Culture section includes amenities; we can make Benefits section.
Thus sections: About the Team, About the Location, About the Role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits.
We must not include headings with filler text. All sections have real content.
Now extract content.
About the Team: The paragraph: "The Digital team focuses on delivering a superior customer experience on petsmart.com and our mobile app. The team also guides revenue and profit growth for the digital business. Digital team associates focus on delivering initiatives that help our pet parents find and discover products, bring enterprise priorities to life digitally, design new user experiences, build new features and capabilities, and manage key omni-channel programs. We work to showcase our brand digitally through the lens of expertise and love and to provide a personalized experience for our consumers. The team takes a data-driven approach and leverages quantitative and qualitative insights to optimize the experience and make business decisions."
We'll put that in
.
About the Location: "Collaborative Work Environment: At PetSmart, teamwork and connection are core to how we thrive. This role is based at our Phoenix Home Office, with an expectation of working a minimum of four days in the office each week. In a standard work week, associates may work up to one remote “flex day” (with leader approval). Our hybrid approach is designed to foster strong collaboration while also supporting flexibility and individual success."
Add also Additional Job Considerations content: "This role requires collaboration, teamwork, and face-to-face interaction with colleagues, leaders, and/or clients. Being in the office ensures access to leaders, cross-functional partners, and resources necessary to make timely decisions and drive results. On-site presence in accordance with our FlexSmart policy supports our culture of innovation, mentorship, and engagement, which is integral to our success in developing the best team. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive, exhaustive list of all essential job functions for this position. PetSmart retains the right to change or assign other required job duties to this position."
We could incorporate that into About the Location as additional prose. But note the last two sentences about not exhaustive list and rights to change duties are generic boilerplate? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about job functions; maybe we should keep as it's substantive? It's somewhat generic but still part of posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The sentences about not exhaustive list and rights to change duties might be considered boilerplate but they are typical disclaimer. Might be safe to keep? The instruction says remove boilerplate; but those are generic legal disclaimers. I'd lean to remove them to avoid boilerplate. However they are not exactly EEO etc. But they are standard disclaimer. I'd remove them to be safe.
Thus About the Location paragraph will include the first part plus the collaboration/teamwork/face-to-face and office ensures access etc. We'll combine.
Now About the Role: The paragraph after "About the Role": "The Director, Digital Merchandising and Marketplace is responsible for defining and leading the enterprise strategy for PetSmart's digital storefront, creating engaging customer experiences that drive awareness, consideration, conversion, and long-term loyalty. This leader owns the vision, planning, and execution of cross-site merchandising experiences across web and mobile, including the homepage, promotional and seasonal experiences, deal destinations, campaign landing pages, and enterprise messaging. They also lead the digital commercialization strategy for PetSmart's largest promotional events—including sitewide sales, holiday campaigns, Autoship offers, and other enterprise initiatives—ensuring every customer touchpoint delivers a consistent, compelling, and measurable experience. Working across Marketing, Merchandising, Pricing, Loyalty, CRM, Product, UX, Analytics, Technology, and Operations, this leader orchestrates the end-to-end execution of the commercial calendar while continuously evolving the digital storefront to meet changing customer expectations and business priorities. As a senior leader within Digital, this role establishes the operating model for enterprise promotional execution, influences strategic investments, and develops organizational capabilities that enable scalable growth across PetSmart's digital business. The ideal candidate brings extensive experience leading digital storefront strategy within a large omnichannel retailer, combining strong commercial instincts with customer-centric thinking, operational excellence, and executive influence."
