We believe dogs deserve the healthiest, most natural and tastiest meals - with none of the nasties. That’s why we make FRESHly prepared food, cooked just like you would at home and delivered direct to our customers in perfect portions. As a B-Corp certified company, you’re joining a sustainable business that genuinely cares about our people, our products and our impact on the planet. Our goal is simple: to help dogs live healthier, happier, and longer lives, while leaving humans smiling after every interaction.
We’ve come a long way since our co-founders (Kev & Dave), hand delivered the very first Butternut Box. Today, we feed hundreds of thousands of hungry dogs across the UK and Europe - but we won’t stop until we’re feeding dogs everywhere. To get there, we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition to come and work for us.
The job:
We’re looking for a Marketing Lead to help us introduce our brand to Sweden and Denmark. We need a marketeer who gets the "why" behind what we do and can turn that into real growth, building both brand love and a solid customer base from day one. You’re someone who truly understands the Swedish and Danish culture. You know that winning the hearts of dog owners takes more than just a direct translation; it takes a local touch and a bit of personality.
You’ll be part of our team in Amsterdam, but you’ll "own" the Nordics. You won’t be alone – you’ll have a squad of channel specialists to support you – but it’s on you to guide them on how to make our message land perfectly in your markets. In this role, there are 2 main elements:

- Work closely with our UGC & Influencer specialist to source and develop high-performing local creators
- Ensure all campaigns (ads, landing pages, CRM, RAF) are locally relevant, on-brand and optimised for performance
- Identify and scale new growth opportunities through local partnerships (brands, influencers, affiliates, direct mail, podcasts)

- Support the growth of the ambassador (Dog Professionals) channel through local events and communications
You will also own weekly reporting of Sweden & Denmark’s performance, connecting brand and growth initiatives to key metrics like CPA, retention, and revenue.
What we’re looking for:
- You must be a native Swedish and/or Danish speaker and professionally fluent in English
- You understand the balance between brand and performance, combining creativity with data to drive meaningful growth
- Commercially minded and analytical, comfortable using insights to make decisions and improve results
- A strong communicator with a light, engaging writing style – confident creating and adapting copy across ads, landing pages and CRM, with a sharp eye for tone of voice and localisation
- Bearing 4+ years of experience across various marketing channels building growth and brand (digital, PR, influencers), with a proactive, test-and-learn mindset
- You understand the Swedish and Danish market and customer mindset, and know what resonates locally
- And most importantly – you’re a dog lover, excited about building a brand that genuinely improves the lives of dogs and their owners
