Growth Marketing Manager - Zigzag

Do you want to help pups and their parents develop a lifelong bond? Come and join us at Zigzag, the #1 app for puppy training & life skills. Sadly, many pups don’t get the right training, which often leads to future behavioural problems, or worse, abandonment - we want to prevent that. We're on a mission to make puppy training accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Join us.
You’ll be joining us at an exciting time, having been awarded Apple’s App of the Day, featured in their New Apps We Love and shortlisted for several major industry awards. Backed by a major global petcare organisation (Purina), we are a fast growing start-up venture with big global ambitions. We’re setting our sights high & have grown from a team of 2 to a team of 15 in the past 18 months, and having recently launched in the US, we’re looking to grow again! If you’re ambitious, love a sense of adventure and like the idea of making a meaningful impact from day 1, we’re probably the right place for you.
