Fully Remote
Description

Property & Casualty License required!


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, you are a part of that innovation. We value transparency among our coworkers and always have an open line of communication. Ask anyone who works here, it is an all-hands-on-deck, cross-functional, collaborative effort, where you will be able to interact with brilliant, creative, like-minded individuals who have an equally immense passion for pets.


The Call Center Retention Agent provides the last and most important touch for our pet parents. They are customer advocates for both the policyholders and their pets. They offer solutions to complex issues and resolve concerns that may be compelling our customers to rethink their relationship with us. The customer interactions are inbound calls either made directly from our customers or transferred in real-time from our customer service associates. The Call Center Retention Agents are a valued part of the customer experience, and the only team positioned to address customers that may be thinking about canceling their pet insurance policy.
