If you wake up every morning excited to craft exceptional digital experiences that turn visitors into loyal customers, this role is for you.

Changing the world of pet food for good
We’re Tails.com, a dog food subscription company with a big difference. We create truly tailored food for each and every dog we serve. It all starts by asking a few simple questions about your dog. Then we use that information to create your pets unique Tails.com recipe – so your dog gets exactly the nutrition they need, in the taste they love, delivered to their door every month. It’s clever stuff.
We’ve got bold plans. Having created an entirely new category in pet food, we’re now scaling fast in the UK and Europe and backed by Purina, one of the world’s largest pet food companies. You’ll join a bunch of smart people working towards the same goals and a bunch of smart-ish dogs, all working on their own thing.
Together, we’ll change the world of pet food for good.
Build our brand
We’re building an international brand, fast. We set ambitious goals. We challenge and support each other in equal measure. At the pace we’re moving, we prefer to test ideas and learn quickly rather than spend months building a business case. That means we celebrate when things go right, and we learn when things go wrong.
