Let’s create the future

We are the #1 pet supplier in Europe with more than 15,000 employees, over 1,700 stores and pet salons, and a constantly growing digital world. But: we are not satisfied yet, because we want to make the life of pets and humans 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 & mortar stores, digital services, data-based solutions and state-of-the-art logistics. To do this, we need ambitious people who love animals and strive to create the future - with first-class prospects for their own development. With us, the love of animals and the opportunity to develop personally and professionally are inseparable.

Welcome to the team!

 

Here you will surely find the right path

There's no "can't do" with us. This applies to product development just as much as it does to people who would like to work with us. That's why you're sure to find the right job option in our business areas to get you started at Maxi Zoo.

 

Individual development

Developing people and enabling them for further tasks, roles and positions is our top priority. That's why we founded the Fressnapf | Maxi Zoo Academy in 2006. It supports store employees - from sales assistants to specialists and managers - with on-the-job training and a wide range of tailored e-learnings and classroom seminars. For our support office team we offer detailed hands on training provided by the line manager, external trainers and providers and further education supports.

Flexible working hours

Maxi Zoo supports you in achieving the best possible work-life balance. We offer our headquarter team hybrid working arrangements within the framework of department-specific regulations.

Our Headquarters: a special place to work.

Everyone is talking about new work, the new way of working. One component of this: innovative office spaces where you can work in an agile and mobile way and communicate optimally. We offer a state of the art and modern working environment with space for project work, collaboration and meetings.

Open, committed, diverse: typical Maxi Zoo employees

What is the typical colleague like at Maxi Zoo? We would say: friendly and approachable, hands-on and attentive, ambitious and honest, unconventional and uncomplicated. We care for not only animals, but also the people who work for us, we treat all employees equally - Maxi Zoo is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

 

Special benefits and employee discounts

At Maxi Zoo, we take pride in providing a comprehensive range of benefits to our valued employees. We understand that a positive work environment goes beyond just a pay check, which is why we offer a competitive salary along with an array of benefits designed to enhance the overall well-being of our team. This includes an employee discount of up to 40% in our stores, development opportunities to foster career growth, special paid leave and many more benefits. We believe that investing in our employees' happiness and success not only strengthens the individual but also contributes to the overall success of the organisation.

 

Our vision: "Happier Pets. Happier People."

At Maxi Zoo, we are convinced: "Happier Pets. Happier People." So sometimes it just takes four words to drive employees. And that's what our vision does. Every day. In every store. And in every job. The path to this goal, our corporate mission, expresses what we all want to do together to achieve it: "We give it our best to make the coexistence of people and animals easier, better and happier."

The first intelligent ecosystem around the animal

We continue to grow as the market leader because we continuously have new ideas. With these ideas, we are designing the first intelligent ecosystem for animals: Combining sales, logistics and supply chain. Bricks & Mortar stores, online store and warehouse. Analog and digital services from dog groomers to digital veterinarians. As well as many years of experience in retail with the latest data science and IT expertise.

 

Stores, brands and products

In more than 1,700 stores - and of course also online - we offer pet owners more than 30,000 different articles with which they can perfectly fulfill their role as pet owners. Through its various sales channels, Fressnapf sells 16 exclusive brands alone. In addition to classic stores and digital sales channels, we are also currently building up a network of stationary pet salons and a range of digital and data-based services. Maxi Zoo: everything for animals.

 

Torsten Toeller: Initiator, owner, driving force

Fressnapf was founded by Torsten Toeller in 1990 and has remained owner-managed ever since. From an idea and a store in Erkelenz (Rhineland), Fressnapf has become an international omni-channel retailer that offers a wide range of services in addition to its stores and online stores - still driven by the creativity and decisiveness of its founder and his management team led by Managing Directors Dr. Johannes Steegmann and Christian Kümmel.
