Pharmacy Operations Lead

Pet Circle
Full-time
On-site
Pemulwuy, Sydney

Dogs, cats, budgies and everything in between - pets deserve the world. They make us want to be better humans. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to build the most engaged and passionate community of pets and pet parents across the world. And we’re looking for talented team mates who can help us do it.


Founded in Sydney, our team of 500+ pet obsessives span Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. We’ve scaled to become one of Australia's top five eComm companies and the no.1 online pet store. But we’re just getting started. Like a whippet who’s spotted their mate across the dog park, our growth is only going to accelerate, as we continue to disrupt the way that pet parents shop.


Excitingly, the pet industry is booming (as in $15 billion kind of booming) and online pet retail is set to grow exponentially in the next five years. So this is a unique career opportunity to be part of our epic growth story. 


The Opportunity


Pet pharmacy is growing, and consumer habits are changing - Pet Circle will lead the way in revolutionising how pet parents access prescription medication for their pets. Our vision is to transform the market and make pet healthcare more accessible to all  pet owners.


At Pet Circle Pharmacy we believe in doing things differently, with pets and their owners at the centre of every decision. We are committed to providing better choice, value and convenience - enabling pet parents to enhance their pets' quality of life even further.


This is an exciting opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills and play a key role in scaling one of the only online pet pharmacies in Australia. In this role, you will be instrumental in shaping a unique purchase and delivery experience for pet medication, ensuring pet parents receive the guidance and support they need throughout their journey. If you’re passionate about innovation in pet healthcare and want to be part of a fast-growing, purpose-driven team, we’d love to hear from you!
