Head of Marketing

Location: Sydney (Hybrid – WFH & Office) This is a rare opportunity to join one of Australia’s fastest-growing D2C pet brands at a pivotal inflection point. Fit Litter has grown from a challenger brand into an 8‑figure category disruptor across AU, UK and NZ. Now we’re building the engine that will take us to a 9‑figure global brand. As we enter Stage 2 of our organisational build, we’re scaling internationally, launching major new product lines, expanding into new verticals, and building one of the most sophisticated content + creative machines in the industry. WHO WE ARE With an overarching mission to create simple, everyday solutions that help cat owners stay proactive about their cat’s health, Fit Litter isn’t your average pet brand. We’re a new‑age D2C brand developing genuinely category‑changing product innovations and using modern marketing and media to build a brand with real momentum. Over the last two years we’ve grown explosively across Australia, UK and NZ powered by a relentless focus on performance marketing, world‑class content, and genuinely innovative products. Internally, we believe in autonomy, ownership, and helping every team member unlock their potential. We operate with candour, integrity and high trust. Our culture is ambitious but grounded.
