Who Will You Report Into? 

Hello, my name is Michael Farah, Head of Innovation 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 have 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 creative output and our focus on optimized ad content.

And that’s where you come in.  We’ve built a highly efficient team of producers, and writers to develop cutting edge content. Split between fast-paced ads and long-form educational content for Youtube. We ideate, produce, film and edit key content to generate revenue first and educate our viewers second. 

What’s the Ideal Candidate’s Background? 

We’re not just looking for any video editor, we’re looking for someone who is a true creative with the ability to convert ideas into profitable videos for Facebook, TikTok and Instagram ads and also maintain high viewership on Youtube… someone who understands the importance of each line in a script, and can edit incredibly convincing ads but also produce and film live-shoots in a variety of locations.

What’s It Like Working at PetLab Co.? 

We’ve gone to great lengths to set up a data-driven culture wherein the best ideas win, regardless of where they come from.  As a rapidly growing company, we prioritize finding people who can think fast, move fast and deliver fast… while having fun at the same time. 

To that end, here’s what you’ll get access to when you join our team: 

• Clear Reporting – Getting accurate and timely data is crucial to enabling you  to do your job, which is precisely what our standalone data analytics team delivers 
• Collaborative Team – There are no silos here, we all understand that to win, we must help each other out as necessary, doing things outside our normal jobs when needed 
• Scientific Rigor – Everyone on the marketing team shares the same philosophy to attack every challenge with an experimental test-and-learn process to tease out success 

• Variety of Challenges – Given we’re just entering our 5th year as a company and growing rapidly, the challenges keep coming with new products, promotions, categories, etc. 
• Refreshing Autonomy – Expectations are always set high for anybody who joins the team, but so too is your autonomy to figure out how best to deliver against your objectives 

You’ll also find that everyone here listens – if something isn’t working, we respectfully call it out.  If something is needed, those needs are heard.  If there’s something we can do better, let’s hear it.
