About the Role

Bark is entering a new chapter. With the launch of our open marketplace where buyers can directly choose which professionals to contact, we're evolving from a lead generation marketplace into a consumer driven, product led marketplace model.

We are looking for a commercially minded and strategic Head of B2B & Go-To-Market to own the B2B strategy, positioning, and launch of this new proposition to prospective sellers (professionals). This role is not about execution of marketing channels, that support comes from central marketing teams, but about building and owning the holistic B2B strategy and GTM plan, setting the direction, orchestrating the cross-functional work, and driving successful adoption of our new Marketplace product among sellers.

You will define the value proposition, shape the onboarding and growth model, and ensure the entire organisation is aligned behind a coherent seller experience.

This is a pivotal role at the centre of Bark's largest strategic shift.

• Collaborate with the commercial team to establish pricing, promotional frameworks, and incentives to drive seller acquisition and conversion.

• Partner with Product and Commercial teams to ensure our pricing strategy is aligned with seller value and marketplace economics.

Acquisition & Funnel Strategy:

• Define how we acquire prospective sellers across paid, organic, partnerships, and product-led channels.

• Ensure our central Performance Marketing, Brand, and CRM teams are working from a clear brief and aligned on objectives.

Onboarding & Adoption:

• Design the end-to-end experience for new sellers joining our Marketplace.

• Collaborate with Product and CRM teams to ensure onboarding sequences, activation points, and education materials support early success.

Retention & Feedback Loops:

• Build the framework for measuring seller satisfaction, early churn risks, and long-term engagement.

• Inform roadmap prioritisation by channelling seller insights and commercial impact back into Product.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Project Management:

• Own the programme management of the entire B2B GTM workstream.

• Drive alignment, remove blockers, and ensure the organisation is ready for launch milestones.

What Success Looks Like

Financial:

• Seller acquisition targets met, with CAC aligned to payback goals.
