Who are we?

Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that’s shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.

As humans, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world’s most sustainable pet wellness company, we’re putting pets and our planet first — one bowl at a time.

Today, we are proud to share we’ve served almost 30 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we are a team of 200+ pet-obsessed people, and we're continuing to grow. These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet’s wellbeing.

To date, we have raised over $60M in funding from venture capital investors and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack!

Our Mission

The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they’re getting sicker earlier. They’re dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards — prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That’s where we come in.

At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.

We don’t stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it’s not just about living longer, but living well too.

Our mission is to double the average lifespan of dogs and cats by 2050.

The Role

Lyka is growing and we're looking for a hands-on marketer to join our pack! You could be working client-side or at an agency and will have experience in several marketing disciplines such as brand, events, PR and strategic partnerships.

The role works closely with Lyka’s in-house creative team as well as cross-functional teams such as R&D, Product and Partnerships.

What will you do?

• Drive the implementation of the brand strategy, including liaising with internal teams and external agencies or stakeholders.

• PR campaign experience.
• An understanding of brand measurement and analytics.
• Basic budget management experience - experience managing costs and an understanding of the impact on the bottom line.
• Project management experience.
• Strategic thinking, and an entrepreneurial approach toward seeking big ideas.

• Work in a fast-growing start-up, experiencing what goes behind the scenes to sustain hyper-growth for a start-up with a physical product!

• Growth and Development – Lyka is growing extremely quickly, which means you will have the opportunity to experience different challenges every day and progressively acquire more responsibilities as our facility and team expands. We provide an annual L&D budget for you to continue your personal development.

• Work for a sustainability focused company – we are an official B.Corp while also being Australia’s only non-negative and plastic-negative pet company. We’re always looking at ways for us to improve our sustainability practices to ensure we care for the health of our dogs, ourselves and our planet.

• Be part of a diverse top talent team, coming from widely different backgrounds and geographies.

• 12 weeks of paid parental leave for primary and secondary carers, a longside 2 weeks of miscarriage leave in the first twenty weeks. We also offer 18 paid weeks to both primary and secondary carers if you have been at Lyka for over two years.

• Wellbeing assistance & tools to take care of your mental and physical wellbeing so you can do your best work.

• Flexible hybrid working: we aim to be in the office 3 days a week to get our best work done with our colleagues and furry friends. We have pet-friendly offices and industrial kitchens in Sydney and Melbourne.

Just as important as what you achieve in this role, is how you perform the role. We’ll need you to be an engaged team member, who can cross pollenate your development expertise into an investment world. Be ready for a dynamic work environment, with a start-up mindset.
