About Us
We'reEureka— a next-generation pet wellness company on a mission to radically improve the way dogs eat and thrive.

It's premium, air-dried, and designed to mirror what dogs are evolved to eat —no fillers, no fluff, no compromises.
Since ****, we've:
80,000+ Aussie dogs
7 million+ meals, delivered nationwide
subscription-first D2C model
Australia's top pet investors and operators
real-world native habitat conservationthrough our supply chain
We're lean, operator-led, and built for speed.No corporate layers.
No startup theatre.
Just real growth, real customers, and a team that gets things done.
The Role
We're hiring aHead of Special Projects— a high-agency, commercially sharp,AI-native operatorworking directly with us on the company's most important initiatives.
You'll help build the next chapter of the business — and have a real pathway to C‐suite role within 12 months.
You'll scope, lead, and ship projects that driveleverage, growth, and clarity— especially the ones that don't yet have a playbook or a dedicated owner.
This is a role for someone who wants to build— not spectate from a distance or build long decks of recommendations that either don't get read or actioned.
Within 2-3 years expect to walk out knowing what it takes to scale from startup to nine figures, with the contacts and finance to build your own thing next.
What You'll Do
Don't expect to stand still.
The work will swings from operations, logistics and finance to governance, product strategy,



customer acquisition, investor relations, retention and AI — and every project that sits on this desk makes 6-7 figure impact.
Projects may include:
Leading ourinternational go-to-market— from market selection to first orders landing
Scoping and launchingnew categories and channels
Supportingfounder comms— from board decks to investor materials
Standing upAI-powered systems and workflowsthat create team-wide leverage — agents doing real work, not pilots
Who You Are
You've likely done time instrategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, or at a fast-scaling consumer brand.
You get business fundamentals, but you're itching to operate and have tangible, immediate impact.
You want ownership, velocity, and the satisfaction of building something real.
You're not just adopting AI to get things done faster and smarter (that's table stakes) — you're building automations at the edge and thinking about what the org structure of tomorrow looks like powered by AI.
You Likely Bring
A love for pets andbelief that product quality and impact matter
Humility and deep curiosity— you ask the extra question, dig into how things actually work, and would rather learn than look right
2–3 years at Bain, BCG, McKinsey, strategy consulting or top-tier investment bank, or 3–5 years inside a $20M+ D2C/subscription brand with real ownership over commercial or operational work




Fluency infinancials and ecommerce drivers— you can talk AOV, CAC, LTV, churn, margin
A "can do" mindset — whether it's "I've got this, expect it Monday" or "I'll figure it out," you're proactive and reliable
High comfort with modern ecommerce stack or ability to learn fast— e.g. Shopify Plus, Skio, Triple Whale, Klaviyo, Zapier, Claude, Canva
Strongproject management and communication skills— you move rapid and bring others with you no matter the difference in working styles or personality
What You'll Get
$*******k base + super + bonus
Skin in the game— equity through our management incentive plan.
We'll walk you through the numbers in the first conversation
Adirect reporting line to the foundersand a high-trust seat at the leadership table
Areal pathway to C‐suiteas the business scales
Aculture that values action, autonomy, and real results
Apet-friendly HQ on Sydney's Northern Beaches— 4 days in office, 1 from home, with flex to 3 in office for the right candidate
Asmart, low-ego, execution-first teamthat supports each other
This Role Is For You If
You're ready tostep out of consulting and into ownership
You want tosolve messy, meaningful problemswith smart people
You want tobet on yourself— and want that bet to mean something now
Youexplore, you speak up, and you respect your team— up, across and down
If that's you, we want to hear from you.
Send a CV, a quick note on why this is your role — and hey, bonus points for a good dog pun
A Note on Inclusion
Eureka is an equal opportunity employer.
We're committed to building a diverse, inclusive team — and we'll work with you to ensure accessibility at every stage.
