Who we are:

Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, London, San Antonio, Spokane and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being 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. We’re an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world’s most respected tech companies.

At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees.

Who we’re looking for:

We are looking for a strategic leader to scale our global comp philosophy as we mature as a newly public company. As our Director of Total Rewards, you will be responsible for all elements of our compensation (equity and cash compensation) benefits strategy, ensuring Rover.com is a differentiator within the technology space. Reporting to the VP of People, you will partner with our executive leadership team, our compensation committee and our employee base to maintain, communicate and evaluate our global compensation programs. You are a strategic but hands on leader, who can flex from BOD conversations and executive comp design to tactical data analysis and meaningful 1:1 conversations with our employees. Good ideas can come from anywhere and you know how to make the work better through thoughtful and collaborative feedback.
