Bark is the UK's largest & fastest growing services marketplace, connecting consumers and businesses with the right professional for their project in thousands of unique categories. A customer can simply post a service requirement (they call this a Bark!) and their technology goes out and finds relevant professionals instantly.
Professionals who are interested in quoting for the work can post their responses to the customer. The customer can then speak to the seller, view their profile and read Bark reviews before choosing the best pro for their job.
Bark now boasts over 8 million users booking pros stretching from gardeners and cleaners to counsellors and accountants across 11 countries. The company's active expansion into new markets has been slow but sure. With this, coupled with the shift in behaviour towards acquiring professional services, Bark seems to be on a path of definite growth for years to come.

At Bark, data-driven decision-making is at the heart of everything we do, but we avoid getting stuck in "paralysis by analysis." Instead, we use data to fuel every discussion, always asking, "If we’re not measuring it, how can we start?" Each team is eager to collaborate in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of our systems, all to power our strategic initiatives and drive the company forward.

Bark is a powerhouse of lead generation expertise, and they've been incredibly supportive to someone like me coming from outside the industry. Our meetings are insight-driven and action-oriented, never wasting time on unnecessary routines. Every team member brings valuable contributions, enriching the conversation at all levels and making every discussion count.

We are still a small and dynamic business so cross collaboration is paramount for our success. I have never been in a business before where every team is not only passionate about their own goals but also so onboard to help out across the whole business where needed. No-one is ever more than a Slack away with help for any problem!

The projects I have worked on at Bark have been challenging in a good way! We are encouraged to find innovative solutions, but also keep it simple by using third party tools where it makes sense. I love the balance there.

Being in a company that is consistently recognised for how fast it's growing, and seeing the quarterly results continually increasing is really exciting. Knowing how many users are using the platform now and how many businesses we're helping connect with customers is really motivating. All this means the team is constantly growing so we're bringing new talent onboard and there are plenty of opportunities for responsability

We're solving some really difficult problems which no one has cracked yet. How to productise services over a broad reach of categories, as well as creating a whole suite of tools for businesses. Also with rapid growth comes scaling challenges which I haven't experienced in other companies, so I constantly feel like I'm learning about different technologies and solutions
