WHO ARE WE?

If the BARK experience is a theatrical production, the Logistics & Fulfillment team is the wizard behind the curtain making sure all 1,000 things go according to plan and millions of dogs are happy. We're the people who get our product where it needs to go: from factory / manufacturer to our warehouse network, and then to our end customers by all the necessary means possible (TEU, LCL,small parcel, LTL, FTL).  We are obsessed with logistics and relentless on performance, but we're not afraid to have fun! We like to think we're superheroes your dog doesn't even know about. No capes, but we type faster than you can fly and don't rest until pups are barking at the door in anticipation of BARK products landing on their doorstep.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

BARK is a fast-growing business for people who absolutely love dogs. We are looking for an Operations Analyst who can support our fulfillment reporting & analytics needs by leveraging our existing data and enterprise BI tool, Periscope, to surface user-friendly views of our warehousing and shipping data.

By extracting data and working with it, this person will be able to identify trends and areas for improvement within our fulfillment and shipping networks. Tools you build will help us audit invoices and hold our vendors accountable. Ultimately, we’re seeking someone who can dig into the numbers with minimal direction and help keep us on track from an operational and finance perspective. Simply put, this person will help our supply chain appropriately negotiate the line between low-cost service and customer-centric results.

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 the dogs across the world and use all of that direct customer feedback to inform new initiatives and ways to make magic between dogs and their people. We’ve since expanded into other offerings as well, as we aim to become THE Dog Company for every family with a four-legged, belly-scratch-loving, interspecies family member.
