Finance
When you join the PetSmart Finance team, you’ll be helping every department in the company to get "the most bang for their buck." Working hand-in-hand with other PetSmart corporate departments, Finance plans and analyzes business trends and manages expenses.
These are the folks who show the rest of the business the cause and effect of any action they’re considering. And, they work hard to steer PetSmart associates toward the right decisions while understanding what their internal business partners need to accomplish their goals. As you can imagine, Finance is an influential group.
What’s it like to work in the Finance department?
The retail world is fast-paced. It’s Finance’s job to get accurate information to PetSmart associates quickly. They’re here to move PetSmart forward, not slow it down. It is a disciplined environment, but one where flexibility and creativity are critical.
Finance is a great department for independent professionals. Associates in this group really "own" the projects they work with, so it’s important to be ready and able to take projects and run with them. When projects lead you to unexpected results, you are encouraged to share your experiences since the Finance team is always looking for ways to improve the way things are done.
Looking to join the Finance team?
While Finance has the occasional need for people with specific skills, like math and statistics, the key asset needed is the ability to communicate clearly and concisely. Here’s a snapshot of the qualities candidates seeking employment at PetSmart should possess:
- Analytical skills to think strategically
- Attention to detail
- Ability to embrace change – it’s constant
- Ability to anticipate and address business needs
