Remote, US

ABOUT BARK

BARK makes magic for dogs.

We launched BarkBox in 2011 and have shipped more than 70 million toys and treats to dogs worldwide. Our brand voice is weird, emotional, internet-native, and very online. We care deeply about making things people actually want to watch.

Now we’re looking for someone who can create at the speed the internet moves.

THE ROLE

This is basically a one-person AI content studio inside BARK.

You’ll work directly with the VP of Brand and Chief Creative Officer to turn raw ideas into finished creative across social, product launches, landing pages, campaigns, and whatever weird opportunity showed up that morning.

Sometimes the brief is fully formed. Sometimes it’s a sentence in Slack. Either way: you make something real out of it fast.

This starts as a contract role. We’re intentionally keeping it small while we find the right people. If there’s a fit, we expect that to become obvious quickly.

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO

• Turn ideas into finished creative quickly — often within days, sometimes within hours

• Create short-form video for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, paid social, launches, and brand moments

• Use AI tools to generate visuals, motion, concepts, edits, VO, scripts, worlds, and content systems

• Build full asset suites across video, static, motion, landing pages, and PDPs

• Adapt creative per platform instead of making one thing and resizing it 12 times

• Experiment constantly with new tools and workflows

• Bring your own ideas. A lot of them.

• Operate independently without waiting for perfect process

THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF…

• You’re already living in AI creative tools every day.

• You probably have some combination of Runway, Midjourney, Claude, Flux, Veo, Kling, ElevenLabs, or whatever launched last week open right now.

• You care about taste as much as speed.

• You hate AI slop.

• You see most AI-generated content and immediately know why it doesn’t work.

• You like making things people replay, send to friends, or comment “wait how did they make this?”

• You’re not precious about creative. You ship, learn, remix, improve, repeat.

• And yes — you genuinely love dogs. That part matters more than you think.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• A portfolio with range, speed, and point of view

• Strong AI-native creative instincts

• Fluency in modern AI creative workflows

• Video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, etc.)

• Deep understanding of internet…
