We connect pet parents with trusted pet care across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. Headquartered in Seattle and Barcelona, we’re a values driven, fast-growing tech company focused on building safe and personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each unique pet. We’re investing in AI as a business accelerator and provide every team member access to AI tools in service of creating better experiences for our community. We are proud to be recognized as a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees. Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us. ## What we’re looking for We are hiring a Lead Product Manager to join our Barcelona-based product team focused on accelerating the growth of our international markets. At Rover, the product team is relied on to drive the business forward. We work as truly empowered product teams; no top-down roadmaps or Executive feature requests here. You will be joining the Bookings group, focused on making it as easy as possible for pet parents to connect with a sitter and book care for their pet, and with a particular focus on growing Rover outside of North America. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a senior candidate that is not afraid to rock the boat. This role is about experimenting with dramatic product or business model changes, not minor optimisations. This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Barcelona Office in the Poblenou neighborhood two days per week on Mondays and Thursdays. For this reason, candidates must be based in Barcelona or willing to relocate. ## Skills and experience - 8+ years of Product Management experience - A demonstrated obsession with driving business impact through improved user experience - Strong analytical skills, particularly proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and common analytics tools (we use Amplitude and Mode). Even better: you are comfortable writing SQL - You have developed and executed your roadmaps in alignment with the team charter and company goals - You partner closely with Design and Engineering to deliver exceptional product experiences - Experience consuming and understanding customer feedback via qualitative and quantitative sources ## Why we’ll hire you - You have built true “zero to one” experiences in a scaled organisation. If you’ve launched new markets, products, or business lines, we want to speak to you. - You care about driving business impact via improved customer experiences - You can analyse data and present a compelling story, and you’ve been responsible for running dozens of experiments - You never hesitate to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. When others fall away, you persevere - You have a very strong bias toward action: although you possess the analytical capabilities to dive deep, you know when the data is good enough to inform next steps, then you go execute - You have a true passion for Rover’s mission and values ## Benefits of working at Rover - Long-term incentive plan with a company performance-based cash payout - Pension plan - Private medical insurance - 25 days PTO - Meal allowance and flexible compensation plan (transport and nursery) - Gym membership - €450 to cover the costs associated with the adoption of a pet - Annual €150 wellness reimbursement - Flexible work hours, sometimes you'll need to be in at certain times, but on the whole, we're pretty flexible when it comes to managing workload and time - Grab snacks, fresh fruit, in our kitchen to keep yourself going - Regular team activities, events, game nights, and more - Dog-friendly office ## Compensation - In the greater Barcelona area the first-year salary range is €75,000 - €85,000. Additionally, Rover offers a long-term incentive plan with a company performance-based cash payout and benefits to full-time employees. - The cash compensation offered for this role will be dependent on the candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, and abilities as demonstrated in the interview and hiring process. Rover is an equal-opportunity employer committed to promoting a diverse, inclusive, and inventive environment with the best employees.
