About the position

At Primal Pet Foods, we believe that wholesome food equals thriving pets. Our mission is focused on elevating the health of pets through species-appropriate nutrition. We are seeking outgoing, organized individuals who enjoy working with the public, have a love for pets, and share our philosophy of animal nutrition. As a Brand Ambassador, you will create a positive impact on the life of pets through customer engagement and education. You will strive to positively impact more pets' lives through education on nutrition and the introduction of Fresh or Frozen foods into their diet. Our goal is to have as many pets as possible incorporating Primal products into their diet. Team Members work with select local stores to create their own flexible schedule, generally within 12-28 hours a week. While creating this schedule, it will be your goal to visit stores during busy hours to talk to as many pet parents as possible. This typically involves weeknights and weekend shifts. If you are passionate about the health and nutrition of companion animals and want to interact with customers (and pets!) in neighborhood pet stores, apply to become a Brand Ambassador for Primal Pet Foods!
