Vice President of Operations
at Brand Arkitekt
“We Scale Brands”
Loveland, Ohio / Hybrid

At Brand Arkitekt, we are building the consumer pet products platform of the future today by building, acquiring, and merging with other owner-operated pet brands. Our mission is to elevate the pet industry by building a portfolio of eco-friendly pet brands with people of character to create a closer bond between humans and their pets.

Our motivation to see our mission through comes from a place of all of us believing education is the only way to unleash human potential. We have seen firsthand generations of poverty end by surrounding ourselves with others that have unimpeachable character, sincere candor, and who take extreme ownership of problems in the marketplace that aren’t their own to provide solutions for the greater good. Therefore, we believe the voluntary exchange through commerce is the only exchange where both people and in our case pets too, lives improve. Our goal at Brand Arkitekt is to help Founders and Brand Managers of character build wonderful pet brands that improve the world.

Currently, we’re looking for a VP of Operations(Integrator) to join our team.
