Pet Nutritional Customer Service Representative

About Us

We are a growing, independently owned pet food manufacturing company focused on one simple mission: helping pets live longer, healthier lives through real food.

Eye Communications is the parent company behind multiple pet health brands, including Herbsmith, The Simple Food Project, Wisconsin Freeze Dried, Smiling Dog Treats, Sassy Cat Treats, and Medicus Veterinary Diets. Across these brands, we develop supplements, freeze-dried foods, and veterinary diets focused on real ingredients, quality manufacturing, and better outcomes for pets.

We manufacture our products ourselves and are deeply involved in every step of the process—from sourcing and production to packaging and fulfillment. Quality, accuracy, and accountability matter in everything we do.

Our environment is hands-on and collaborative. We are not a corporate, siloed team. People work across departments, communicate directly, and take ownership of their responsibilities. As we continue to grow, we are focused on building stronger systems, improving processes, and developing a team that can scale with the business.

We are looking for someone who wants more than just a job — someone who wants to build something meaningful and grow with it.

We are looking for people who are detail-oriented, proactive, and want to be part of a team that is actively building and improving—not just maintaining the status quo.

The Role

We’re looking for an individual who will be the bridge between our customers and our internal team.

This role goes beyond answering emails and phones. You will play a key part in making sure orders are accurate, customers are taken care of, and communication flows smoothly between customer service, shipping, production, purchasing, and marketing.

If something goes wrong with an order, you help solve it.
If a customer needs help, you take care of them.
If a team needs information to ship correctly, you help connect the dots.
