Seattle-based dog-sitting startup Rover closed a $25 million funding round in March. At the time, CEO Aaron Easterly told GeekWire the funds would be used to expand to more cities and add employees to its rapidly growing staff.
Rover has several listings on GeekWork, GeekWire’s jobs site, including a Product Manager position. This role will drive the startup’s “travel sitting” business (where dog sitters stay at the dog’s home).
“The ideal candidate will move the business forward by understanding the business better than anybody in the company,” writes Rover. “Based on that understanding, they will devise and implement a plan to efficiently match supply and demand while delighting customers, both dog owners and dog sitters.”
That’s one of the current highlights from GeekWork. Continue reading for more of this week’s top openings, hand-picked from the featured listings on the site, and search for more open positions here.
