About Bark

Bark is an online services marketplace connecting customers with professionals across over 1,000 categories. Operating in nine countries including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, we're transforming how people find trusted service providers for everything from home improvement to professional services.

Our platform uses cutting-edge technology to match customers with the right professionals quickly and efficiently. With a global team of over 220 people, we're currently undergoing an exciting transformation: migrating from a lead generation model to a full marketplace platform with subscription based pricing.

As a profitable, PE backed scale up (EMK Capital), Bark offers the best of both worlds: the agility and innovation of a fast moving business combined with financial stability and resources for growth. We recently launched our new marketplace model in Australia (Q4 2025) and are preparing for rollout to the UK and US markets in 2026. You'll have genuine ownership, responsibility, and the opportunity to shape our commercial strategy during a pivotal transformation phase with the chance to make your own contribution to our journey.

About the Role

You'll be a core contributor on a tight design team, embedded in squads working on consumer and professional experiences. This is an IC-heavy role. You'll own design problems end-to-end, from early problem framing through to shipped, measured output. You won't need heavy direction to get there.

We're at a pivotal point in the Polaris transition. Conversion rates, trust, and the quality of the professional-consumer matching experience all need to improve. You'll be working on flows that directly move those numbers.

This isn't a role for someone who needs a lot of hand-holding, or who delivers great mobile work but lets desktop slip. We want someone who holds themselves to a high standard across the board and gets there quickly.

*Please note you must be based in Spain to be considered for this fully remote role.

Responsibilities

• Own design for your squad's workstream from discovery through delivery, across web and mobile

• Frame problems clearly before jumping to solutions and bring structure and rationale to design decisions

• Generate multiple concepts at pace, take feedback well, and iterate without backtracking

• Work with product managers, engineers and researchers to identify the right problems and validate your thinking

• Contribute to Bark's design system and help us build something consistent and scalable

• Use data, research and qualitative feedback to ground your work in evidence, not assumption

• Use AI tools as a natural part of your workflow, for research synthesis, rapid concept generation, and design quality

Required Skills and Experience

• A strong senior IC with a track record of delivering real product impact, not just polished portfolios

• Comfortable with the full design process: framing, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, validation

• High craft standards across both mobile and desktop

• Confident with data. You use it to make decisions and to measure whether your work is working

• Self-directed and fast. You manage your own time, hit your commitments, and raise blockers early rather than disappearing into a problem

• Someone who takes feedback cleanly and moves forward, not someone who relitigates resolved decisions

• Ideally experience with two-sided marketplaces or conversion-focused product work

• Proficient in Figma; familiarity with AI-assisted design workflows is a genuine plus

What good looks like here:

You'll be working on live conversion flows with real business impact. In your first few months, we'd expect you to own a design workstream independently, bring structured thinking to reviews, and ship something measurable. You'll contribute to raising the bar for design quality across the team, not just in your own lane.
