Social Media Manager and Marketing Executive

About Wilsons Pet Food

Wilsons started way back in 1861 in Dundee, producing muesli-based food for working dogs.

We’ve changed a fair bit since then and are now one of the fastest growing pet food companies in the UK. Across our two sites in Scotland (Perthshire and Ayrshire), Wilsons produce a range of natural, dry cold pressed and raw frozen dog food. Growth has exceeded all expectations within the retail, wholesale, own label and online sectors, and products can now be found in over 300 stockists nationwide, as well as several well-known retail specialists and supermarkets.

Due to our success and steady growth, we are looking for a talented and experienced Social Media Manager/Marketing Executive. The successful candidate will have to be dedicated, hard-working, creative, competitive and LOVE DOGS.

This role can be made remote for the right candidate, but locally-based talent would be ideal. We like to get together as often as is reasonable to regroup as a team and share ideas, so occasional travel to sites will be required.
