Head of Customer Experience
Who We Are
The Farmer’s Dog was created to radically improve the $90 billion global pet food industry — starting with a subscription service that sends freshly-made food directly to customers’ doors. Long term, our aim is to simplify every part of pet care, bettering the lives of the animals who make our lives better. We recently raised our Series B and are backed by early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Sweetgreen, and Glossier.
Join The Farmer’s Dog team as we continue to figure out ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.

Where You'll Come In
The Farmer’s Dog is on a mission to help channel the unconditional love we all have for our pets into uncomplicated care. Central to that mission is our customer service team. As the beating heart of our brand experience and every customer interaction, they relentlessly seek out ways to better understand, and act upon, the needs and feedback from our current and prospective customers (and all the dog people in between).
As the Head of Customer Experience, you will create and lead a customer-centric culture that obsesses over creative problem-solving with a spirit of collaboration, empathy, and curiosity. Your goal is to transform the foundation of our already beloved team into an engine of customer understanding, effective communication, and an avenue for growth. That will require modeling these qualities yourself, working cross-functionally to identify opportunities, and empowering a team of 70+ to deliver knowledgeable and personalized care to our customers and their pups. Ultimately, we want to become the most beloved pet care brand in the world, and this position will play a critical role in helping us get there.
