Job Summary

Own rescue outreach and partner growth at scale, turning community signals into a repeatable pipeline across social, events, and partnerships.

  • Community Growth: expand engagement in rescue groups, DMs, and events to feed a partner-ready pipeline.
  • Partnerships & Influencers: manage relationships with pet and lifestyle creators, negotiate gifting and paid collaborations, and brief content that fits brand voice.
  • Content & Community Signals: translate frontline conversations with pet owners and rescue workers into product and content ideas, with events and Reddit exploration as a potential expansion.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead and own rescue organisation outreach and lead generation (via Facebook groups, DMs, email, and cold outreach) with a data-driven approach to how you prioritise and segment.
  • Manage rescue leads from first contact through to onboarding, working closely with ops and product.
  • Manage, implement, and monitor rescue growth initiatives end-to-end, including tracking pipeline progress and optimising what's working.
  • On occasion: assist with website updates and SEO optimisation for rescue partners to improve search rankings and user experience.
  • Respond to comments, DMs, messages, and reviews promptly and in our brand voice across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
  • Build and manage our presence in Facebook rescue groups and local community groups, helping us reach rescue organisations at scale.
  • Post reactive stories throughout the day (events, community moments, influencer reshares, rescue stories) to keep the brand feeling alive and present.
  • Be the team's ear to the ground: you talk to more pet owners, creators, and rescue workers than anyone else on the team, and that insight should shape what we make.
  • Explore building a presence on Reddit down the line - a bonus if you have experience there.
  • Identify, approach, and manage relationships with pet and lifestyle influencers across Instagram & TikTok.

Requirements

  • Strong experience in community management, partnerships, or a closely related role.
  • Demonstrable experience managing online communities.
  • Comfortable with outreach and relationship-building at scale, from cold DMs to longer-term partner comms.
  • Strong written communication skills, as you'll be representing the brand in hundreds of conversations every week.
  • Organised with admin and data-aware: you'll manage a pipeline and track community KPIs.
  • A self-starter who uses their initiative to find new ways to attract customers and rescue partners, rather than waiting to be told what to do.
  • Happy to get out and about for events as part of the role.
  • A genuine passion for animal welfare.

Preferred

  • Experience building a presence on Reddit (bonus if you have experience there).

Benefits

  • A chance to make a real difference for pet owners and animal welfare across the UK.
  • The opportunity to work on meaningful projects with rescue charities and shelters.
  • Hybrid working from London - 1 day a week from our Paddington office.
  • Exposure to every part of the business (ops, product, partnerships) in a small, close-knit team.
