Are you passionate about pets and their well-being? Are you ready to dive into an industry where health-conscious choices for our furry companions are taking the spotlight? We are building an exciting new business to consumer venture and are looking for a Founder to bring it to life.

This is a unique opportunity to flex your entrepreneurial muscles and build a business with the backing of a hugely successful Pet business. You’ll be performance-led while creative and be both hands on and strategic. This new venture will primarily be built separately from the core Pet Circle infrastructure and will challenge its Founder to understand when to leverage Pet Circle assets, when to build independently and when to leverage 3rd party capabilities.

• Responsibility for the development and launch of the new business from inception to market leadership

• Own the end to end customer experience (online and offline) and the brand think, look and feel

• P+L, results and growth targets

• Own the business strategy and lead key cross business and 3rd party relationships

• Develop, report and track key goals milestones

• Continuously improve the offering and the experience for pet parents

• You are a dog lover! You have owned dogs before (or have been very close to them) and are exceptionally passionate about giving them the very best quality of life

• You have a high learning appetite with the ability to flex between topics and absorb new knowledge quickly

• You have built something before; this might be a side hustle, a business, an app or an initiative (in a professional capacity or outside of work)

• You’re interested (and potentially experienced) in how to bring a brand to life. You have your finger on the pulse in terms of creative branding, what is trending in the market and what makes pet customers tick

• You balance creative and performance marketing, knowing when to reinvest

• Self-motivated with strong project management skills; you’re organised, highly driven and able to set and work to your own deadlines

• Gravitas to clearly and consistently work side-by-side with a broad range of functions, senior leaders and third parties to achieve exceptional outcomes

• Humble leadership and collaboration style; you inspire by doing and are willing to seek out and receive advice and input from others

• Adept at using data to inform decision making; from quantitative industry and consumer data to customer research and other qualitative data points

• You are hands on and enjoy working through problems. You have a preference to do the work rather than outsource

At Pet Circle we believe that collaboration and team connection is key for success. This role will be based in Sydney with a blended working arrangement of 3 days in our pet friendly CBD offices and the remainder working from home (or the office, if you prefer!)
