Customer Care Manager

Who We Are

The Farmer’s Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care. We’re starting by radically improving the $90 billion pet food industry, replacing bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly-made dog food directly to customers’ doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future.

To date, The Farmer’s Dog has delivered over 1 billion 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 customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.

A Manager will play a crucial role in leading and developing a group of 10-15 associates to become ambassadors for our valued customers for The Farmer’s Dog. The successful candidate has more than a year of experience leading customer service teams in other DTC organizations as a subject matter authority and first line of defense to troubleshoot operational issues, elevate them as needed and collaborate with appropriate teams for resolution to ensure that our customers receive the best support and satisfaction.

This leader will take full ownership of their team’s performance, fostering a high-performing, accountable, and engaged culture where results are delivered through proactive coaching, clear expectations and continuous development. They will be skilled at both elevating top performance and thoughtfully course- correcting when needed to uphold our standards.

We’d rather align ourselves to the goals we’re working to achieve and make sure we have necessary subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact.

We are skeptical about everything and precious about nothing: Ideas can and should come from anywhere, and we aren’t tied to our own.

We proactively source input.

We talk to our customers and leads regularly and are quick to change course if we know there’s a better or more impactful way to solve problems.

We consider the customer journey in all of our decisions: We know that no interaction exists in a silo and therefore understand how important every single one is. We ensure our strategy sets prospective…
