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 dogs across the world. We use all that feedback to inform new initiatives and ways to make magic between dogs and their people. Our goal? To be THE Dog Company for every belly-scratch-loving family member.

THE TEAM

 The People team is a high-energy, dog-loving group focused on creating a best-in-show experience for candidates, new hires, and team members alike. From sourcing standout candidates to streamlining people programs, we’re constantly evolving how we attract, support, and grow our people—all while prioritizing innovation and the pup-first experience.

WHO WE’RE SNIFFING FOR
We’re looking for a sharp, creative, AI-forward generalist with a nose for recruiting and a passion for people operations. This Manager-level hire will split their time between full-cycle recruiting (especially G&A functions) and core People Ops projects. You’ll lead onboarding, dive into HR systems (Workday, Lattice), and support everything from check-ins to compensation cycles.

You’re a builder and connector. You thrive in ambiguous, startup-y environments, get joy from fine-tuning processes, and approach problems with curiosity, empathy, and drive. You’re equal parts talent strategist and process enthusiast, with a deep respect for the people you support and the tools you use. You’ll collaborate across Payroll, Benefits, Comp, IT, and Workplace Experience to ensure smooth, delightful people experiences across the dog park.

KEY DUTIES

  • Own recruiting for Ops, Tech, Supply Chain, and CX roles, helping us scale teams that keep the wheels turning and our customers (and their dogs) happy.
  • Build tech-driven, automated hiring workflows balancing efficiency with a human, empathetic approach.
  • Work closely with hiring teams to design structured, inclusive interview processes tailored to each function’s unique needs.
  • Coordinate onboarding logistics to create seamless, supportive experiences for new team members — no guesswork, just clarity and readiness.
  • Support key HR processes like employee transitions, performance cycles, offboarding, and accommodations, especially across global teams.
  • Lead immigration and international documentation efforts, ensuring compliance while respecting the real lives behind every form.
  • Keep HR systems (Workday, Greenhouse, Lattice) clean, consistent, and useful — so our teams can focus on doing great work.

EXPERIENCE

  • 3–5 years of recruiting experience with a hybrid of high-volume/CX-focused as well as experienced hiring
  • Experience with international recruiting;  familiarity with the Philippines talent market a plus!
  • Proven ability to build and run automated, tech-forward recruiting systems.
  • Familiarity with Greenhouse and other modern TA platforms.
  • Track record of cross-functional partnership across distributed and hybrid teams.
  • Experience supporting Ops, Tech, or Supply Chain recruiting a strong plus.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, Communications or a related field.
  • Absolute discretion and confidentiality are essential requirements of this role.
  • Deep comfort with tech-enabled hiring where automation is your best friend, not your enemy.
  • Demonstrated ability to build scalable recruiting and HR workflows that support people thoughtfully.
  • Deep comfort with AI recruiting tools and enthusiasm for modernizing hiring practices.
  • Detail-obsessed with a love for process design and continuous improvement.
  • Excellent communicator who brings clarity, empathy, and drive.
  • Must love dogs.

COMPENSATION

  •  The base salary range for this position is $80,000-$100,000/ year 
  •  This position is eligible for equity.

**This compensation range is based on BARKs good faith estimate as of the date of this posting and may be modified in the future. Actual pay for this position will depend on a variety of variables including location, travel, internal equity, experience, education, skills and expertise.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
