Veterinary Medical Affairs 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 $150 M 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.

The Veterinary Medical Affairs Lead is responsible for owning, developing and improving TFD’s interactions with veterinary professionals. They will be a key in‑house expert to provide outreach to veterinary professionals regarding questions related to patient case management as well as general medical questions. They will help to lead veterinary professionals through a top tier experience with TFD, which includes working in close partnership with our Customer Experience (CX), Field Vet and Veterinary Medical Affairs teams.

Furthermore, they will develop and provide valuable education and insight to their CX partners, and interpret the data around our interactions with vet pros to provide insights to the rest of the organization.

A successful Veterinary Medical Affairs Lead will blend their medical knowledge and love for optimizing dog health outcomes with their deep, personal understanding of the day‑to‑day challenges and needs of veterinary professionals. They will use a passion for engaging and teaching to create thoughtful and meaningful proactive and reactive relationships and communications with the veterinary community, whether they are interacting with our customer base or are customers themselves.

Our goal is to deliver a first‑class experience for every veterinary professional who interacts with our team, across all channels of engagement. Whether we’re supporting patient management, assisting with their own pets, or strengthening their familiarity with our brand, this role serves as a front‑facing, primary point of contact for veterinary professionals.

We don’t think of ourselves as “Acquisition Marketers”, “Engineers”, “Data Analysts”, or “Product Managers”. Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise, we don’t think departments matter. 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 strive to orient ourselves around customer problems TOGETHER – getting the right people, with the right context, in the right rooms/Zooms to solve problems holistically.

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 and new customers up for success and drives long‑term retention. We answer questions and address problems early and proactively. We understand the value of different channels, initiatives, and messages and know how to articulate…
