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 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.

THE TEAM

The Planning Team is responsible for forecasting demand and managing the Inventory across all BARK business lines. We're obsessed with results, data, process and finding solutions. We work very broadly across virtually all functional groups, including product development, sourcing, finance, product & engineering, growth and logistics. We need curious, data-focused people who are spreadsheet nerds and love dogs above all else. #carrots4lyfe (this will make more sense to you if you meet Jeffrey).

WHO WE’RE SNIFFING FOR

The S&OP individual is responsible for building and maintaining the S&OP and capacity models to inform, align, and drive operational efficiency within the BARK ecosystem. Through the models and business needs, the team can optimize current + future business plans, identify areas of opportunity and risk, and lead BARK into supply chain efficiency and profitability.

This team will work alongside the DX/Ops partner to create holistic customer delivery experience. They will strategize short, mid and long-term planning to manage the operational execution as well as assess, launch, and monitor new initiatives to ease supply chain strains.

The right candidate may have project management, operations or a planning background. However, what we’re really looking for is someone who is comfortable running initiatives from the ground up using exceptional analytical and conceptual thinking. If you’re passionate about learning, building, and developing processes, you will excel on this team!

Oh, and if it wasn’t mentioned already, you must LOVE dogs and aren’t afraid of a little dog hair.
