Responsibilities

• Lead the design of early customer experiences, from first impression through decision-making, using service design principles to shape how people discover, understand, and consider The Farmer’s Dog.
• Develop and communicate a clear point of view on what we’re building and why, aligning pawds around design strategy and customer goals across digital and physical surfaces.
• Use customer psychology, storytelling, and systems thinking to create persuasive, emotionally resonant experiences across multiple touchpoints including site, email, SMS, and customer support.
• Prototype quickly to test, validate, and evolve ideas, gathering feedback through both qualitative and quantitative research and bringing others along in your process.

• Prioritize work that drives impact by helping prospective customers make confident decisions that are right for their dog and right for the business.

• Deep understanding of customer behavior and psychology, and use it to create persuasive, human-centered solutions that build trust and clarity.
