Customer Love Team Member 🐱 (Hiring Immediately)

A bit about the opportunity:

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, so all we want is the best for them. 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.

In fact, many cat parents don’t even understand what those needs are in the first place. It’s making cats unhappy and unhealthy, and cat parents feel guilty and deflated.

We know we can be the solution. We are on a mission to deliver fresh, healthy food for cats, direct to their door. Thanks to our expertise in all things cat, we offer an unmatched combination of quality and taste. And our flexible service means cat humans can tailor their order to suit them and their cat’s needs.

A bit about the role.

We are searching for a dynamic, hardworking, all-around great communicator who cares passionately about the experience that our customers receive and is happy to get stuck in wherever they’re needed most.

You will be talking to our customers on a daily basis, and going above and beyond to resolve all customer queries. All incoming live customer contact will go through you, especially making use of phone, live chat, email and social media channels. As part of the newly formed team, you will be empowered to help shape our customer journey and come up with new ways to make people’s lives easier and happier.

We’re in the early stages of our journey, so the right fit will be someone who embodies a scrappy startup mindset and is ready to go above and beyond in every customer interaction. You’re willing to take extraordinary steps, like hand-delivering our meals to customers who experience a delivery issue, to ensure every customer experience is not just preserved, but cat -apulted to the highest standard. You love and understand cats, and have want to talk about them at any opportunity. So go ahead and tell us your favourite cat anecdote in your application. We’re all ears.
