Remote | 10–20 Hours/Week | Long-Term Growth Opportunity

Before You Apply

We use AI. We expect you to use AI.

What we do not want is a generic AI-generated application.

Use AI to improve your work, research, creativity and productivity.

Do not use AI instead of thinking.

If your application looks like it could be submitted to 100 other companies without changing a word, it probably isn't the right application for Karuvia.

We're looking for someone who wants to build, create, sell, solve problems and grow with us long-term.

About Karuvia

Karuvia is an emerging European pet marketplace connecting pet owners with carefully selected products, brands and services.

We are currently preparing for launch and building our network of trusted partners across Europe.

To accelerate growth, we are looking for a commercially minded professional to help us acquire new vendors, support onboarding, build relationships and increase marketplace visibility.

This is not an administrative assistant role.

This is a growth-focused role for someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities and helping businesses succeed.

Your Mission

Help Karuvia grow by:

Bringing high-quality vendors onto the platform
Supporting vendors after onboarding
Helping vendors become successful partners

Presenting Karuvia's value proposition
Managing partnership pipelines
Supporting commercial discussions
Creating new business opportunities

You should enjoy opening doors and starting conversations.

40% Vendor Onboarding & Partner Success

Winning partners is only the first step.

You'll help them get started and succeed.

Responsibilities include:

Guiding vendors through onboarding
Collecting onboarding information
Following up on missing details
Supporting vendor setup
Responding to vendor questions
Building long-term relationships
Helping vendors maximize their success
Improving onboarding processes
Supporting retention and engagement

Your success will be measured by vendor satisfaction and activation.

20% Marketing & Growth

Support initiatives that help attract vendors and customers.

Responsibilities include:

Social media support
Content creation

Email campaigns

You are likely a strong fit if you enjoy:

Building relationships
Talking to people

Helping businesses grow
Taking ownership
Skills & Experience
Required
Excellent English communication skills
Professional written communication
Strong organisational skills
Commercial mindset

What Matters Most

We care less about job titles and more about:

Initiative

Reliability
Learning ability
Ownership
Professionalism
Work Directly With the Founder

You will work directly with Karuvia's founder and gain exposure to:

Business Development
Vendor Partnerships
Marketing
Strategy
Operations
Entrepreneurship

I am not looking for somebody who waits for instructions.

I am looking for somebody who identifies opportunities, brings ideas and takes ownership.

Compensation & Growth
Remote
10–20 hours per week initially
€5–€10/hour starting rate

As Karuvia grows:

Hours can increase
Compensation can increase
Responsibilities can expand
Leadership opportunities can emerge

We are looking for a long-term tea ---------- mber, not a short-term freelancer.

Your One Shot

Please complete all three challenges.

Generic applications, AI-generated standard cover letters and copy-paste submissions will be automatically rejected.

We want to see your thinking, creativity and commercial mindset.

Challenge 1: Win Over a Potential Karuvia Partner

Identify one pet brand or pet-related service provider you believe should join Karuvia.

Provide:

Company name
Website
Decision-maker
Position
Contact route
Your outreach message

Show us how you would win the opportunity.

Challenge 2: Create Something That Gets Attention

Create one marketing asset for Karuvia.

Examples:

Advertisement
Campaign concept
Social media content
Video
Vendor acquisition campaign
Landing page concept

Submit:

Final result
Tools used
Short explanation

We're not looking for a generic AI-generated image.

Show us creativity and commercial thinking.

Challenge 3: Elevator Pitch

Create a 60-second video.

No AI avatar. No script reading. No corporate presentation.

Tell us:

Who you are
What makes you different
Why we should hire you

Make us remember you.

Include
Country
CET availability
Weekly availability
Availability during the next month
LinkedIn profile and/or CV
Earliest start date

----------

Final Thought

AI is encouraged.

Generic AI applications are not.

If you want to help build a European marketplace, acquire vendors, develop partnerships, drive growth and grow into a bigger role over time, we'd love to hear from you.

Don't tell us you're exceptional. Show us.
