Logistics Coordinator

KatKin's Opportunity

For uncompromising cat parents who want the best, KatKin goes hardcore for cat health. We make the UK’s most popular 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.

Having started as a two person team in 2019, founders Brett and Nikki have grown KatKin from a small startup to a leading pet-food industry disruptor  kick-starting a new category of healthier cat food in the UK - “Fresh”. Our vet formulated, science backed recipes are now delivered to 60,000+ cats UK wide, and counting.

The Role

Our Direct Sales team pops up at the UKs busiest lifestyle events, railways stations, retail spaces and cat shows, delivering brand activations to connect with cat parents and share our mission of changing cats lives for the better. As our Logistics Coordinator, you’ll take ownership of making this channel bigger and better as we scale. 

You’ll be in charge of making sure our activations are set up and broken down smoothly, that our assets look perfect every time, and that our stalls are fully stocked and ready to go. You’ll manage our team of freelance logistics contractors, who execute a majority of our activations (keeping them clearly briefed and acting as their main point of contact day to day), as well as setting up and breaking down key events yourself - a full, clean UK driving license is a requirement for this role. 

You’ll be part of one of our fastest growing and most dynamic teams, shaking up the cat food industry for good, and making a real difference to the lives of cats and their parents.
