The chief puppy officer, based in Manchester, will be in charge of ensuring the company's fluffy family experience their best days at work ever.

Pet, play, get paid, repeat - it’s a 9 til 5 like no other.

The enviable role will involve taking charge and entertaining the adorable dogs of the Yappy team while their owners are hard at work creating personalised dog gifts for over 420 breeds.

From playing with their dogs and ensuring they’re entertained and stimulated, to tickling tummies, offering endless strokes and catering for their every need - it’s a hard job but someone has to do it.

The successful candidate will be required to carry out market research with each office dog, providing written feedback on a range of toys, bandanas, treats and accessories to help the yappy.com team create even more furbulous products.

They’ll also be responsible for getting each dog to photoshoots on time and ensuring that they’re ready for their close ups and always looking their best.
