Who Will You Report Into?
Hello, my name is Forest Kwok, VP of Marketing at PetLab Co., and I need your help.
We started PetLab Co. in November 2018 because we saw an unmet need to offer safe, effective nutritional supplements to help pets live their happiest, healthiest lives.
Since then, we've become the fastest-growing pet health brand in the U.S., thanks in part to our rigorous approach to marketing, customer acquisition, and retention strategies.
And that's where you come in.
We're ready to take our brand partnerships to the next level, and we need someone who can take ownership of identifying opportunities, developing strategic partnerships, and driving impactful co-branded initiatives.

You thrive in fast-paced environments and can toggle between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
