Content Designer

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. We start by asking people a few simple questions about their dog. Then we use that information to create their dog’s unique Tails.com recipe – so their 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– 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. Designed to delight our customers Join Product Design at tails.com, and you’ll be right in the midst of the action – designing product experiences that delight our customers. No one does what we do in the direct-to-consumer space, so it’s your chance to really make your mark. We work in collaborative, cross‑functional squads - engineers, designers, researchers, data analysts, and anyone else it takes to make great things happen. Some days it’s about quick, tactical wins; other days it’s about digging into the big, knotty problems and solving them together. Importantly, we’re a proper team of designers.
