Content and Community Manager

The Opportunity

Cats are undeniably champions of the Internet. They're cute, hilarious, and can be jerks, so honestly what's not to love? But, while they've been getting the recognition they deserve online, they've been left by the wayside in the pet food industry, with legacy FMCG companies opting to offer variations of dog food for them rather than providing food formulated for their dietary needs - did you know they're obligate carnivores, so a high meat diet is a biological necessity?

Enter KatKin.

Who We Are

Simply put, we're putting cats and their people first.

Giving cats the best possible Fresh cat food, as well as world-first personalised health and wellness initiatives, we're dedicated to helping your cat live their best nine lives. We're not stopping there because we know who puts the food on the table (even if they sometimes forget to appreciate it). That's why we're also dedicated to giving cat people a community of information, stories, and fun to delight in and return to again and again.

We want to give cats and their people the best experience, which is why we're thrilled that we have science on our side; we've got a board certified vet nutritionist, a nutrition scientist, and we've chucked in a couple of in-house vets for good measure. We also have an in-house production team, so we're making sure our perfectly portioned pouches are up to KatKin standards every step of the way.

At the heart of it, we make the best Fresh food for cats, and we want it to be accessible and affordable for every cat person. Cats are family, after all.

As bastions of content themselves, we want you to take inspiration from cats and produce captivating and shareable content and keep building our community out. We want our cat people to know that we are the go-to brand for anything and everything cat related.

You'll run your own department, and work directly with one of our co-founders, Nikki. And you'll get to spend massive chunks of your day looking at cat photos.

You'll structure and build content plans across online and offline channels; this ranges from social media, live events, our blog (the Yarn), our forum, and working with brand ambassadors. All in the name of delighting our customers!
