Lead Product Manager - BARK Bright
NYC, Seattle, Remote
WHO WE ARE:
At BARK, we know it takes even more than toys to make your dog happy (although a really crinkly squeaky plush IS a good start). They have physical and mental health needs, just like us humans, and depend on proactive preventative care to live their best life. The better they feel, the longer they can be by your side — playing like a puppy, wagging like crazy, and showering you with affection for being their favorite person in the world.
The tricky part, however, is getting your dog to enjoy the good-for-you stuff. BARK Bright is our our line of smart and easy wellness solutions, designed from your pup’s point of view. Now that dogs can actually love healthy habits, their future definitely looks Bright.

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 the 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.
