Fetch Pet Insurance, a tech-enabled pet wellness company, has consistently been an innovative leader in the pet insurance industry, offering the most extensive and all-inclusive pet insurance and health advice.
Put simply, Fetch makes vet bills affordable. We offer a comprehensive product that does not have any restrictions based on breed, age, or size. We are believers in helping pets get through their bad days but also focus on extending the good days. How do we do that? – through a wide portfolio of products + offerings, which include Fetch Health Forecast, our pet health and lifestyle blog, The Dig, and our partnerships with Project Street Vet and animal no-kill shelters across North America.
At Fetch, we strive to serve our customers where they prefer to be met. In addition to the self-serve options we make available online and through our app, customers may reach out for a live interaction with one of our talented Call Center Service Agents in our (virtual) customer support center. Our support agents are the cornerstone of our service. They help our customers navigate through questions about billing, claims, technical support, and general inquiries. They also educate our customers about the various ways they can seek support, including the use of our online tools, IVR, and their account portal. We strive to delight our customers through each interaction we have and our Call Center Service Agents take advantage of these live interactions to remind our customers that we truly value the opportunity to support their four-legged companions.
Our business is growing and we are looking for compassionate professionals that want to join a team that works hard and celebrates success!

While the primary activities of this role involve handling a high volume of incoming calls, there are other daily tasks that range from calling customers that have left messages or submitted email inquiries, to researching the status of claims reimbursement requests. We value teamwork and also recognize individual success.
