Who We Are

Spot & Tango is an innovative pet health & wellness brand that delivers personalized meal plans on a subscription basis. Our recipes are developed by leading animal nutritionists, and are made with only real, human-grade ingredients... and nothing artificial! We have lofty goals (to make every dog in the country healthier, and every pet parent happier!) and we are looking for the right people to help us get there. This is an exciting opportunity to join a VC-backed, high-growth, e-commerce startup and have an outsized impact in an extremely fast-paced environment. Plus, you get to think about dogs all day!

Who You Are

This is an exciting opportunity for a customer service professional to help shape the future of our CX strategy and make a significant impact on our company's growth and success.

The Role

• Identify areas for improvement in our CX processes and collaborate with stakeholders such as Training, Operations, and QA to implement improvements
