£35,000 – £45,000EntryFull Time
KatKin is the UK's leading fresh cat food brand — a subscription-first, vet-developed DTC business on a mission to transform the health of cats across the country. We're a passionate, fast-moving team obsessed with our customers (and their cats), and we use data and personalisation to build relationships that keep subscribers for life.
This is a rare opportunity to get hands-on with CRM at a brand where retention is genuinely central to the growth strategy — not an afterthought.
You'll be the engine behind our day-to-day CRM execution — building and sending campaigns, maintaining our automated flows, and helping us communicate with our subscribers in a way that feels relevant, timely, and on-brand. You'll work directly with our Growth Retention Lead and Head of Retention & Product Strategy and sit at the intersection of data, creative, and customer experience.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll be in Klaviyo every day.
You’ll work across the full customer lifecycle — from acquisition and onboarding through to retention, churn prevention, and winback.
As part of the Retention & Product Strategy team, you’ll be a co-owner of metrics such as customer retention, repeat revenue, and customer lifetime value. You’ll have a large opportunity to shape business decisions based on CRM tests and learnings.
This role is designed to grow into a more strategic Retention position as the function scales.
