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 Senior/Lead Copywriter , you’ll be the guardian of our brand and tone of voice. You’ll truly know 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 life across every touchpoint we have, from packaging to paid ads; organic social to out-of-home experiences. 

You’ll write words that attract and educate new customers, and you’ll rally and delight our thriving current community too. In short, you’ll bring out the hardcore cat parent in everyone. You’ll be inspired by industry, always on the pulse of the D2C world and beyond, to help take your copy 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 help the rest of the team live our brand too. You’ll bring best-in-class writing skills and advertising experience to nurture your Junior Copywriter and support the wider creative team. You’ll run tone of voice sessions for teams across the business, and empower them to thrive. You’ll support everyone to feel confident in how we write and speak – and you’ll maintain a brand that’s embedded wherever you look. 

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