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.

THE TEAM

As part of this fast-paced FP&A Team, you'll view financials through a critical eye, constantly looking for variances or anomalies in data and trends. You'll use this analysis to ensure financial accuracy, provide insight on business performance, and discuss strategies for improvement. Every day you'll partner and collaborate with stakeholders across the org to review financial performance and to update rolling forecasts on an ongoing basis. Basically we ensure the company is always on track to meeting (or beating!) its goals so we can make ALL dogs happy.
