An opportunity has arisen to join a growing entrepreneurial and digital business based in London. Launched in 2012, BorrowMyDoggy is one of the UK’s fastest growing online dog communities, enabling dog owners to connect with friendly locals who can help take care of their dogs.
In the last few years, BorrowMyDoggy’s member base has grown rapidly, and our team has responded to this growth by iterating on, expanding and refining our systems and business processes. Now, we’re looking for someone to help us to take the next few steps, where we are designing and building not just for today, but for tomorrow’s world as well.
We’re looking for a Product Lead who will be able to develop and shape ideas into deliverable, measurable projects, delivering real value for our members and our business. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, but able to see the bigger picture; committed to quality, but pragmatic and willing to iteratively refine; comfortable speaking with business stakeholders, customers, and our technical and operations teams with equal articulacy.
If you’re interested in shaping the direction of an enthusiastic and dynamic team, focused on delivering life-affirming experiences to real people (and dogs!), and understand how to move from short-term planning to long-term strategy in an ever-changing market, we’d love to hear from you.
