Are you a hardworking, cat‑centric person ready to embark on an exciting journey? We’re on the lookout for someone to join the founding team of our cat business. This is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to shape the future of our brand and customer experience.
There are 11 million cats in the UK, and, just like dogs, they are considered a member of the family. The experience of owning a cat can be stressful, and the food industry has let cats down; what’s available isn’t meeting their needs for both taste and nutrition.
Many cat parents don’t even understand what those needs are in the first place, resulting in unhappy and unhealthy cats. By delivering fresh, healthy food directly to their door with unmatched quality and taste, we can change that.
A bit about the role
We are searching for a dynamic, hardworking, all‑around great communicator who cares passionately about the customer experience and is eager to help wherever needed.
You will be the primary contact for customers on phone, live chat, email and social media. As part of the newly formed team, you will be empowered to shape our customer journey and devise new ways to make people’s lives easier and happier.
We want someone with a scrappy startup mindset, ready to go above and beyond in every interaction, even taking extraordinary steps such as hand‑delivering meals to customers when delivery issues arise.
