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
We are in search of a Logistics Associate to join The Farmer’s Dog and help us answer questions like, “What do we do when a truck with 2,000 TFD boxes on it breaks down?”.
This person will be responsible for coordination of daily outbound shipping operations, execution on weekly network optimization and carrier capacity planning. The role will support the shipping teams across all Fulfillment Centers (FCs) and will standardize shipping operations by building SOPs and managing KPIs.

Day-to-day, you’ll help facilitate and troubleshoot the logistics of getting boxes to our customers, identify and escalate risks, and work with our Customer Experience team to build processes around carrier and delivery issues.
