BARK
ABOUT BARK
Here at BARK, we love dogs and their people. We’re looking to make all dogs happy throughout the entire world (we’re not kidding). Think Disney for dogs — we make magic for dogs and their people through our products, events, and experiences.
Our ambition level is high, the opportunity is huge, and our love for dogs is through the roof! We launched in 2011 with BarkBox, a monthly-themed subscription of all-natural treats and clever toys. Since then, we've shipped more than 70 million toys and treats to dogs across the world. We use all that feedback to inform new initiatives and ways to make magic between dogs and their people. Our goal? To be THE Dog Company for every belly-scratch-loving family member.
THE TEAM
The People team is a high-energy, dog-loving group focused on creating a best-in-show experience for candidates, new hires, and team members alike. From sourcing standout candidates to streamlining people programs, we’re constantly evolving how we attract, support, and grow our people—all while prioritizing innovation and the pup-first experience.
WHO WE’RE SNIFFING FOR
We’re looking for a sharp, creative, AI-forward generalist with a nose for recruiting and a passion for people operations. This Manager-level hire will split their time between full-cycle recruiting (especially G&A functions) and core People Ops projects. You’ll lead onboarding, dive into HR systems (Workday, Lattice), and support everything from check-ins to compensation cycles.
You’re a builder and connector. You thrive in ambiguous, startup-y environments, get joy from fine-tuning processes, and approach problems with curiosity, empathy, and drive. You’re equal parts talent strategist and process enthusiast, with a deep respect for the people you support and the tools you use. You’ll collaborate across Payroll, Benefits, Comp, IT, and Workplace Experience to ensure smooth, delightful people experiences across the dog park.
