Senior Product Manager - (Remote, Spain)

Bark is revolutionising the way people find professionals in over 1,000 unique categories. As the UK's largest and fastest-growing services marketplace, we're on a mission to make finding the right professional quick and easy. With a presence in eleven countries and plans for further expansion, joining us at this genuinely exciting time will be a journey like no other.

Our cutting-edge technology ensures that you can always find the best professional for any job. With a talented team of over 200 dedicated individuals, we're committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring that our customers are satisfied every step of the way.

This is an exciting time to join our scaling business, we recently placed in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024, and previously were 64th in the Sunday Times 100 fastest growing private tech companies in 2023.

As a profitable scale-up, Bark is in a unique position to offer the best of both worlds; the excitement and agility of a start up combined with the financial security and backing of a renowned private equity firm, EMK Capital. You'll have ownership, agility, responsibility and stimulation without any of the worry.

About the Role

We’re looking for a talented and driven Senior Product Manager to join our ‘Professional Success’ squad, and help them step-change the experience for service providers on Bark.com.

Bark is at the start of a transformation from a lead generation platform to a full marketplace, looking to do to services what Amazon did for physical products. The Professional squad will be responsible for acquiring and engaging Professionals - getting the right businesses signed up and set up for success. You’ll build products to help them gain visibility on our platform and ensure they’re doing a great job of converting that visibility into business won and value for them. You’ll also be at the heart of monetising this experience, and so commercial experience will serve you well!

You’ll join an existing squad of developers, and collaborate closely with a dedicated designer to build a great understanding of your users and ultimately a vision and roadmap that delivers for Professionals, for Consumers and for Bark. You’ll work alongside peers in Marketing, Analytics, Commercial, Customer Support to ensure success, and help Bark and the business we support realise our shared potential.

We’re already profitable and incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but we know that most of our work is ahead of us. We have huge aspirations, and our growth plans are product-led, so it’s a great time to join and contribute to revolutionising how people buy and sell services online.
