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

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 Customer Experience (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 and employee-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 300+ 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, with the best employee culture in the world, and this position will play a meaningful role in helping us get there.

This position is able to be performed in-person at either our Nashville, TN or Fort Lauderdale, FL locations.
