Founding SDR Lead at Pet Marketplace
Build and lead PMG’s US outbound engine from day one. Coach reps, refine scripts, own performance, and scale a high-impact marketplace that helps millions of pets find safe, loving homes.
About Us
Pet Media Group (PMG) is a Stockholm-based scale-up that acquires, launches and develops market-leading pet marketplaces globally, with over 1.5 million animals finding new homes through our platforms every year. We are currently live in 6 different countries (US, UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy and Spain) and are now scaling our US marketplace.
The way pets find new loving homes has remained largely unchanged for centuries. PMG’s mission is to make this process more trusted, safe and efficient through technology. Our team has built unicorns before (e.g. Avito) and we are backed by leading European investors including Verdane and Otiva.
