Who are we?
Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that’s shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.
As humans, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world’s most sustainable pet wellness company, we’re putting pets and our planet first - one bowl at a time.
Today, we are proud to share we’ve served over 100 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.
Currently, we have a team of 250+ pet-obsessed people, and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you!). These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet’s wellbeing.
Our Mission
The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they’re getting sicker earlier. They’re dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards - prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That’s where we come in.
At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.
We don’t stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it’s not just about living longer, but living well too.
Our mission is to increase the lifespan of dogs and cats.
What you'll do:
- Track stock levels and sourcing needs, raise purchase orders and buy consumables via the kanban process, coordinate with suppliers/Lineage/carriers on deliveries, receive and inspect shipments, and maintain accurate inventory and procurement records.
- Own daily CHEP reconciliation, de-hire, and tracking (roughly 2–3 hours/day), resolve discrepancies, and liaise with internal teams, carriers, and CHEP contacts.
- Run day-to-day office operations (supplies, stationery, visitor/reception duties, travel bookings), support the Facilities Manager on site projects, and coordinate communication between office, warehouse, and manufacturing teams.
- Maintain the SOP library, support GMP/HACCP/food safety compliance and traceability, and keep procurement, CHEP, and inventory records accurate and current.
- Follow site safety procedures, report hazards, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across procurement, CHEP, and office processes.
- Collaborate cross-functionally (R&D, Manufacturing, CAPEX, Operations) on procurement initiatives and cost-reduction efforts, and uphold Lyka's values in daily work.
