Sydney, Australia Lyka Full time

**Who are we?**

Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that’s shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.

As humans, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world’s most sustainable pet wellness company, we’re putting pets and our planet first — one bowl at a time.

Today, we are proud to share we’ve served almost 30 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we have a team of 200+ pet-obsessed and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you). These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet’s wellbeing.

To date, we have raised over $60M in funding from venture capital investors and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack

**Our Mission**

The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they’re getting sicker earlier. They’re dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards — prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That’s where we come in.

At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.

We don’t stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it’s not just about living longer, but living well too.

Our mission is to double the average lifespan of dogs and cats by 2050.

**The Team**

Lyka is growing and looking for an exceptional VP / Head of Strategy to join our Executive Leadership Team and to lead our Strategy and Data & Analytics teams.

**What You Will Do**:

- Collaborating with the CEO to set Lyka’s vision and long-term strategy, encompassing new products, channels, markets, and operational investments.
- Leading the rollout of the Strategic Roadmap process across the organisation, ensuring alignment and execution excellence.
- Spearheading the Financial Planning process, including support for fundraising and M&A activities.
- Defining goals and targets for key company metrics and managing the governance process to ensure their achievement.
- Mentoring and managing the Strategy and Data & Analytics teams, scaling them to meet Lyka's evolving needs.
- Developing Lyka’s long-term Data & Analytics vision and overseeing its deployment, balancing short-term needs with long-term objectives.
- Providing leadership and support for critical business decisions, such as new product launches, market expansions, and strategic partnerships.
- Building strong relationships with cross-functional stakeholders and collaborating on key projects.
- Working with internal and external stakeholders to define and execute critical initiatives.
- Scaling existing processes and tools, as well as defining new ones, to support Lyka's continued growth.
- Upholding and embodying Lyka's values and principles in all workplace interactions and activities.

**Requirements**:
**Who You Are**:
You are a proven leader with a track record of success in strategic roles, ideally including experience in a top-tier management consultancy firm. Your skillset is broad, allowing you to tackle complex problems with ease and contribute meaningfully across various domains, from D2C growth to supply chain optimisation.

Your hyper-analytical and detail-oriented nature is complemented by exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written. You thrive in collaborative environments, influencing others with humility and eagerness to learn. A "doer" mindset drives you to roll up your sleeves and dive into execution, making things happen.

Experience in a high-growth startup environment is a plus, showcasing your adaptability and ability to thrive in dynamic settings.

**Benefits**
- Work in a fast-growing start-up, experiencing what goes behind the scenes to sustain hyper-growth for a start-up with a physical product
- Growth and Development - Lyka is growing extremely quickly
