About the role

Who we are: At Rover, pets and their people are at the heart of everything we do. We connect pet parents with trusted pet care across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. Headquartered in Seattle and Barcelona, we’re a values driven, fast-growing tech company focused on building safe and personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each unique pet. We’re investing in AI as a business accelerator and provide every team member access to AI tools in service of creating better experiences for our community. We are proud to be recognized as 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. At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees. Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We’re looking for an HR leader to shape and scale the people strategy for our international business as we continue our global growth. Based in Barcelona, this role will serve as the senior HR leader for our international organization outside of the U.S., partnering closely with regional leaders and the global People team to build a high-performing organization, design the talent and organizational strategy for the region, and develop the International People function to support our next phase of growth. This role will play a crucial role in how our international organization grows over the coming years, helping leaders build strong teams, navigate complex employee matters, and create an inclusive, high-performance culture. This role will also help leaders and teams navigate the evolving future of work, including the adoption of AI-enabled tools, workflows, and organizational practices that drive innovation, productivity, and employee effectiveness. This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Barcelona Office in the Poblenou neighborhood two days per week (Mondays and Thursdays). For this reason, candidates must be based in Barcelona or willing to relocate.
