THE ROLE

At BONKERS, we’re the fastest-growing pet treat brand in the world, ranked #1 on TikTok, and recognised with 17 global awards - and we’re just getting started. We’re on the hunt for a proactive, creative, and detail-obsessed Marketing Executive to help us go even bigger.

Working together with our global and North American teams, you’ll drive localisation, creative adaptation, and on-the-ground execution that connects with pet parents in their own language and culture. This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and wants to see their work make a real global impact across multiple countries.
