About Us
n
We're Eureka — a next-generation pet wellness company on a mission to radically improve the way dogs eat and thrive.
n
Founded in ****, we've grown fast by doing things differently: we make Australia's only wild protein–focused natural dog food, crafted from ethically sourced venison, boar, kangaroo and more. It's premium, air-dried, and designed to mirror what dogs are evolved to eat — no fillers, no fluff, no compromises.
n
Since ****, we've:
n
n
80,000+ Aussie dogs
n
7 million+ meals, delivered nationwide
n
subscription-first D2C model
n
Australia's top pet investors and operators
n
real-world native habitat conservation through our supply chain
n
n
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.
n
The Role
n
We're hiring a Head of Special Projects — a high-agency, commercially sharp, AI-native operator working directly with us on the company's most significant initiatives. You'll help build the next chapter of the business — and have a real pathway to C‐suite role within 12 months.
n
You'll scope, lead, and ship projects that drive leverage, growth, and clarity — especially the ones that don't yet have a playbook or a dedicated owner.
n
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.
n
What You'll Do
n
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:
n
n
Leading our international go-to-market — from market selection to first orders landing
n
Scoping and launching new categories and channels
n
Supporting founder comms — from board decks to investor materials
n
Standing up AI-powered systems and workflows that create team-wide leverage — agents doing real work, not pilots
n
n
Who You Are
n
You've likely done time in strategy 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.
n
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.
n
You Likely Bring
n
n
A love for pets and belief that product quality and impact matter
n
Humility and deep curiosity — you ask the extra question, dig into how things actually work, and would rather learn than look right
n
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
n




Fluency in financials and ecommerce drivers — you can talk AOV, CAC, LTV, churn, margin
n
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
n
High comfort with modern ecommerce stack or ability to learn fast — e.g. Shopify Plus, Skio, Triple Whale, Klaviyo, Zapier, Claude, Canva
n
Strong project management and communication skills — you move fast and bring others with you no matter the difference in working styles or personality
n
n
What You'll Get
n
n
$*******k base + super + bonus
n
Skin in the game — equity through our management incentive plan. We'll walk you through the numbers in the first conversation
n
A direct reporting line to the founders and a high-trust seat at the leadership table
n
A real pathway to C‐suite as the business scales
n
A culture that values action, autonomy, and real results
n
A pet-friendly HQ on Sydney's Northern Beaches — 4 days in office, 1 from home, with flex to 3 in office for the right candidate
n
A smart, low-ego, execution-first team that supports each other
n
n
This Role Is For You If
n
n
You're ready to step out of consulting and into ownership
n
You want to solve messy, meaningful problems with smart people
n
You want to bet on yourself — and want that bet to mean something now
n
You explore, you speak up, and you respect your team — up, across and down
n
n
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
n
A Note on Inclusion
n
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.
