About Us

At Open Farm we are transforming the way people feed their pets, with a focus on producing premium, healthy food and treats, all ethically sourced from farm-to-bowl. Headquartered in Toronto and with team members across the US, Open Farm is one of the fastest growing CPG companies in North America. We believe that the best foods are made with consciously sourced, top-quality ingredients from farmers and fisheries who believe in doing good for all animals and the environment.

Before you em-bark on this journey with us, learn more about the opportunity:

We are seeking a motivated and passionate Pet Nutrition Intern to join our team. The intern will play a crucial role in supporting our Nutrition Team and Strategy. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience with real recipes, formulation logic, feeding guidelines, and research that shapes real products going to market.

In this role you will...

  • Work with our Nutrition Team and Head of Veterinary Nutrition, Dr. Moran Tel-Gavriel, to support Open Farm's nutrition strategy
  • Get hands-on with real recipes, learning the formulation logic behind how our products are built
  • Conduct desk research of peer-reviewed journals and apply your research skills in an industry setting
  • Translate academic learning into commercial application, turning findings into practical recommendations for improvement
  • Support product information requests
  • Work on nutrition data-focused projects and conduct ad-hoc analysis to answer specific business questions
  • Collaborate across the organization, including marketing, impact, nutrition, food safety and quality assurance (FSQA) and our pet parent experience team on strategic projects
  • All other duties, as assigned

What you will gain

  • Real products, real impact: see your work connect to products that go to market, not just a classroom exercise
  • A view of the commercial side of pet food: build a commercial mindset by understanding how nutrition decisions connect to business goals, customers, and the market
  • Industry-ready research skills: learn to turn peer-reviewed science into clear, actionable recommendations for cross-functional teams
  • Cross-functional experience: work alongside nutrition, FSQA, marketing, impact, and pet parent experience
  • Project ownership: contribute to defined projects where you can share ideas and see them through

We're paw-sitively excited about you because you have/are

  • Pursuing a degree in animal/pet nutrition with a focus on companion animals, or similar background
  • A strong understanding of companion animal nutrition
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize peer-reviewed findings into actionable nutritional insights and communicate them effectively
  • Able to digest and summarize peer-reviewed technical literature
  • Proficient in software such as Microsoft Excel
  • Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving abilities
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
  • Proactive and self-motivated, with a willingness to learn and take on new challenges

What we offer you: it's the purr-fect package

  • Learn and develop within a mission-driven, dynamic, and fast-growing company, alongside thoughtful and passionate individuals dedicated to their work and community
  • Great office culture (with lots of adorable pets!) where your pet interrupting video calls or in-person meetings is the norm
  • The opportunity to participate in a co-op case competition, a chance to collaborate with peers, present creative ideas to the business, and gain more hands-on experience with visibility to senior leadership
  • Office-casual dress code

AI statement

Open Farm may use AI tools to help organize and review applications efficiently. While technology supports our process, every hiring decision is made by our team, with care and intention. We also prioritize meaningful human connection, which is why our interview process includes in-person conversations, because technology can support the process but can't replace the impact of human connection.

Hybrid work

At Open Farm, we believe in the power of collaboration, meaningful connections, and enjoying our work together, furry friends included! That's why we've adopted a structured hybrid approach that allows you the benefit of a reduced commute while still building strong workplace relationships. Currently, all employees are expected to be in the office two days per week at minimum, with Tuesday and Thursday as our anchor days. In addition, each month our Leadership team dedicates three consecutive days onsite to continue to foster alignment and connection across the team. During this time we expect everyone to join us in person to do the same. Please note: our hybrid approach may evolve over time as we adapt to the needs of our team and business.

Important: We require the submission of your Resume, Cover Letter, and Academic Transcript. Applications missing any of these documents will not be considered.

We Raise the Bar | We Open the Barn Doors | We Graze Lightly | We Are Customer Obsessed | We Are One Team | Win-Win Partnerships

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
