Job Description

We turned dog food upside-down.

But we didn’t stop there.

Customer service, reinvented

We’re tails.com – experts in keeping dogs happy and healthy. We do that by creating the perfect tails.com recipe for each and every dog, asking owners a few simple questions – and then delivering straight to the door.

It’s radical stuff. Join, and you’ll be right at the heart of a business that’s not just changing the world of pet food – but customer experience too.

A tasty recipe

Listening closely. Solving problems. Making decisions. Those are the secrets to getting it right every time – hearing what each customer has to say, then working out how we’ll make them utterly delighted.

That’s not exaggerating. Our whole business is built around phenomenal service – putting you right at the heart of one of the most successful start-ups around. From logistics to tech, you’ll get to see every part of our business from the customer’s perspective.

You’re a natural

Call centres and scripts aren’t part of the deal. So we’re much more interested in your passion and tenacity – as well as your superb spoken and written English.

Every day, you’ll ask yourself “how can I get even better?”. You’ll also relish the personal learning and career development opportunities you’d expect from a start-up. And the not-so-expected chance to work across teams and learn from lots of talented people - even when working remotely.

On top of all this, you’ll share the same ambition and entrepreneurial spark that makes tails.com a brilliant place to work.
