Growth Marketing Manager, Paid Social

Maev • Full-time • Austin, Texas, United States • 1d ago

Overview

At Maev, we believe dogs deserve a seat at the table. Or at the very least, nutrient-dense food that’s human-grade.

That’s why we’re relentless in our pursuit of better, faster, and smarter. As the first and only Human-Grade Raw Food for Dogs, Maev has been rooted in innovation since day one. We’re a brand built on the belief that “good” is never enough. That “normal” or “traditional” doesn’t always mean “optimal.” And that it’s better to live in possibility. For us, “impossible” is just a limiting belief.

We’re obsessed with radically improving the lives of dogs and dog parents everywhere.

With over 90 million dogs in the US, strong industry CAGR, an increased focus on nutrition, and traditional kibble losing market share due to lack of brand loyalty and poor quality, Maev is incredibly well-positioned to combine these strong industry tailwinds with a brand anchored in quality, transparency, and emotional connection.

As of 2023, Maev is the #1 fastest growing, most disruptive brand in the hyper-competitive category of Pet — and the 38th fastest growing private company in America.

Our team is made up of thought leaders, risk-takers, tastemakers, disruptors, creatives, critical thinkers, and, occasionally, dog people. We attract top tier talent from the most successful, differentiated, fastest growing, and most innovative brands and organizations in the world. We win awards, we’re ambitious, and we’re on the map. We built this thing from scratch. (And we’re just getting started.)

Join us.
