Job description
KatKins Opportunity
Did you know that some cat food contains as little as 4% meat? Considering cats need meat to thrive, that’s a problem. Cats have been neglected by the pet food industry for too long, being offered variations of dog food, rather than food designed specifically for their enjoyment and health. KatKin gives cats what they really need and crave - 100% Fresh premium meat. Pure and simple.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot with many cat owners reporting transformative benefits, we’re the highest rated cat food brand in the UK. Join our fast-paced, innovative team and help more cat people discover the best food for their cat’s health!
What we do at KatKin
If you want to join and grow an ambitious, mission-driven, high-growth startup that’s making a genuine difference to cat’s (and their people’s) lives, you’ll love working at KatKin.
With a growing audience of cat people, an expanding Fresh meals recipe book, and the science to back it all up, you get the sense that KatKin is a mere whisker away from becoming a household name for helping cat people do the best for their cats.
