Digital Operations Executive

Who We Are

We are the #1 pet supplier in Europe with more than 15,000 employees, over 2,700 stores and pet salons, and a constantly growing digital world. But we are not satisfied yet, because we want to make the lives of pets and pet owners easier, better and happier every day.

Driven by our vision, “Happier Pets. Happier People”, we are creating a unique pet ecosystem that combines online and brick-and-mortar stores, digital services, data-based solutions and state-of-the-art logistics. To do this, we need ambitious people who love animals and want to help shape the future, with first-class prospects for their own development.

Maxi Zoo is Ireland’s largest pet retailer, with stores across the Republic of Ireland and a growing omnichannel business. We are part of the Fressnapf Group, the European market leader in pet products, and we are driven by the desire to make life with pets simpler, better and happier.
