About the Role Bark is looking for a Partnership Manager to play a central role in scaling our Marketplace by bringing on and growing high-quality professional service businesses. Today, demand on Bark is strong; we have more consumers looking for services than professionals available to meet that demand. The Partnerships team exists to solve this imbalance by identifying, onboarding, and growing relationships with larger, high-capacity businesses that can handle a high volume of consumer service requests and convert them efficiently. This is a 360, end-to-end role. Successful candidates will be responsible for the full lifecycle of their partners from initial outreach and commercial discussions, through onboarding, to long-term performance and revenue growth. This ownership enables deeper partnerships and delivers meaningful commercial impact. The Partnerships team currently drives £10m+ in annual revenue, and increasing this contribution will be a major driver of Bark's growth in 2026 and beyond. This role is at the heart of that ambition. This is an exciting opportunity with plenty of scope to learn, grow, and make a measurable impact in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment.
