WHO ARE WE?

The Graphic and Packaging Design team is responsible for all things print. From the actual Barkbox, to treat packaging, to toy graphics, to in store signage, we work on it all. We are highly collaborative within the team as well as cross functionally and work on multiple brands and business lines.

We’re a erse group of creatives coming from all sorts of backgrounds. We pride ourselves on being funny and innovative in order for us to create magical experiences for dogs and their people. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and love finding inspiration in unexpected places.

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.

This position is a full-time, salaried position. It is located on-site at our office in Manhattan, New York or Columbus, Ohio; or remote. We offer health insurance for both you and your pup, 401k, and a dog to pet anytime you wish.
