Who We Are

The Farmer’s Dog is the fastest growing pet health service company in the US, and was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care – a fresh proposition in an industry riddled with manipulative and misleading marketing. We’re starting by radically improving the $100 billion pet food market, replacing bulk bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends healthy, freshly-made dog food, balanced by top veterinary nutritionists, directly to customers’ doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, honest, and delightful experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic and forward-thinking culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future.

To date, The Farmer’s Dog has delivered hundreds of millions of meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to our 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 looking for a highly analytical and strategic Director of CRM to lead how The Farmer’s Dog leverages direct communication channels to drive life-long retention. You’ll have the opportunity to take the foundation we have in place today (both team & CDP) and evolve it to deliver on our customer promise to turn unconditional love into uncomplicated care.

In the role, you’ll partner closely with teams across the business (Acquisition, Brand, Product & Engineering, CX, Operations, Data Strategy & Insights, etc.) to build a best-in-class customer lifecycle. You’ll have the opportunity to work on everything from partnering with Product & Engineering to build a world-class CDP architecture to diving deep into customer data with the team to identify opportunities to improve their experiences.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a highly capable team and CRM/Martech stack that can support nearly-infinite levels of personalization and segmentation. You’ll have real ownership over improving our customers’ lives (and the lives of their four-legged companions!) while making a foundational impact on our growth efforts.

• Partner closely with our Customer Experience (CX) team to leverage lifecycle automation to improve customer and agent experience.

• Manage any and all relevant third-party relationships and contracts.

We're Excited About You Because

• 10+ years of experience in CRM/Lifecycle, with a track record of driving business objectives and growing, developing, and managing a cross-functional team at a consumer-facing business.
• Demonstrated history of setting long-term CRM strategies and partnering with leadership across other departments to achieve your team’s vision.
• A deep understanding of relational databases, ETL processes, and how to leverage a wide-variety of data structures to power impactful customer-facing communication. You should, at minimum, have a working-knowledge of SQL.
