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 C, bringing our total funding to over $100M. We're backed by the early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Sweetgreen, and Glossier, and are aiming to build a company as healthy as the dogs we feed.
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 have for our pets into uncomplicated care. Central to that mission is our customer experience. As the beating heart of our brand experience and every customer interaction, our CX team relentlessly seeks 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 join a customer-centric culture that obsesses over creative problem-solving with a spirit of collaboration, empathy, and curiosity. Your goal is to oversee the strategy, planning and execution of the customer experience function, providing the best possible service to our customers across multiple channels and transforming the foundation of our already beloved team into a scalable engine of customer understanding, effective communication, and an avenue for growth. That will require working cross-functionally to drive experience improvement and evolution across the customer journey, and empowering a team of 100+ to build and deliver knowledgeable and personalized care to our customers and their dogs to drive happiness and retention. Ultimately, we want to become the most beloved pet care brand in the world, and this position will play a meaningful role in helping us get there.
