For uncompromising cat parents who want the best, KatKin goes hardcore for cat health. We make the UK’s only fresh cat food: 100% human-quality meat, gently cooked, and frozen for freshness. 

Where the competition cuts corners, catfishes customers and puts profits over health, we put cat wellbeing first. No shortcuts. No secret recipes. We’re cutting the fluff, thinking fresh and channelling hardcore love into industry-wide change. So cats live long and cat parents can love hard without compromise.

We’re all-in for cats, and it shows: our energy will blow you away from day one. You’ll be surrounded by knowledgeable scientists, big creative thinkers, astute business brains, and a whole team of hardcore cat parents. All on a mission to make hardcore love the new standard in cat care – with a fresh take on every product in the cat industry.

As our Customer Experience + Cat Expert Lead, you’ll be the guardian of our customers. You’ll know truly what it means to be a hardcore cat parent. The deep love. The hard work. The (frequent) bites for your troubles. And you’ll bring that spirit to your team, making sure that every time a customer calls, emails or slides into our DM’s there's a Cat Expert that's excited to chat cat.

In short, you’ll bring out the hardcore cat parent in everyone. You’ll be inspired by the DTC industry, always on the pulse of new ways to delight our hardcore cat parents, to help take our customer experience to new heights. And in everything you do, you’ll love and embrace the pace here, putting your passion into your work for an audience that’s booming day by day. 

You’ll have a team of up to 8 Cat Experts to nurture and support. You’ll analyse trends in customer behaviour to identify areas for improvement. You’ll craft training plans for new and existing team members to help them be the best Cat Expert they can be. 

And in doing all that, you’ll help cats everywhere to jump higher, zoomie faster, purr louder and live longer.
