    Who We Are

    The Farmer’s Dog was created to radically improve the $90 billion global pet food industry — starting with a subscription service that sends freshly-made food directly to customers’ doors. Long term, our aim is to simplify every part of pet care, bettering the lives of the animals who make our lives better. Backed by the early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, and Sweetgreen, we've raised over $100M in funding and seek to build a company as healthy as the dogs we feed.

    Join The Farmer’s Dog team as we continue to figure out 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.

    Where You'll Come In

    Our new customer acquisition team sits at the front line operating as the first point of contact for prospective customers. The Customer Acquisition Specialist will contact warm leads and use our consultative sales approach to walk them through our initial signup process and educate them on the benefits of feeding fresh food. We're looking for an advocate for our customers –– someone who continuously raises the bar by inventing creative solutions on the fly. In this role, you'll provide outstanding service and build your skills in communications, problem solving and sales. You’ll have a direct impact on the expansion of our business and be recognized & rewarded for your success.

    This would be an exciting opportunity for someone looking to advance their career beyond a traditional retail, customer service, or call-center environment. We're looking forward to meeting with candidates from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life!  

    This is a full-time role, and we’re seeking candidates with the availability to work weekends and some holiday work is required. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we’re currently operating remotely. However, this role will be based in Nashville upon a safe return to the office.

    How You'll Make An Impact

    • Build rapport and engage with interested customers through one-on-one interactions across phone and occasionally SMS
    • Convert prospects through phone outreach and build certainty around the benefits of feeding fresh food
    • Build trust and rapport with new customers to drive long term retention 
    • Leave every prospective customer feeling loved, engaged and valued
    • Compile feedback from prospective customers to improve acquisition and assist in developing The Farmer's Dog Customer Journey and sign up processes 
    • Track responses and share insights with the Product team to develop future improvements
    • Learn to be a health and nutrition wiz; provide support on dog health, care, and wellness
