Pet Insurance Customer Service - Retention Advocate

Our client, Fetch Pet Insurance, is currently seeking a remote-based experienced Retention Advocate to join their growing Customer Service team.

  • Property & Casualty License is Required
  • Ability to work from home
  • Ability to work full-time. Hours are Monday- Friday, 9am-6pm, Eastern Time
  • A minimum of five (5) years in a call center environment with at least three (3) years in a dedicated retention, renewal, or sales leadership-support role.

About Fetch:

At Fetch, we're dedicated to helping pets live their healthiest and happiest lives. Our comprehensive insurance coverage is designed with modern pet parents in mind, and we're proud to support the veterinary, shelter, and breeder communities. We believe in ensuring pets receive the best care possible and are committed to making that vision a reality every day.

Fetch is a high-growth Warburg Pincus portfolio company with an expanding team of over 350 pet-loving employees working together to shape the future of pet health and wellness.

About the Industry:

The pet insurance industry is more important than ever, offering peace of mind and financial protection for pet owners. The sector is expanding quickly, fueled by growing awareness of the need for accessible, high-quality veterinary care. With advances in veterinary medicine, pets now have access to the most effective treatments available, making pet insurance an essential component of modern pet care.

Job Overview:

We're looking for a Retention Advocate to join our Fetch Pet Insurance team! In this role, you'll help our pet parents keep the coverage that protects their furry family members. You'll handle a mix of calls and emails-listening to customers, understanding their needs, and finding creative ways to keep them with Fetch.

You'll use your sales and problem-solving skills to turn tough conversations into positive experiences, highlight the value of our plans, and make sure every customer feels heard and supported. If you're great at connecting with people, can stay calm under pressure, and enjoy working in a fast-paced, team-focused environment, this role is for you.

We're looking for someone with call center experience (retention or sales is a big plus!), strong communication skills, and a knack for multitasking. A General Lines Property & Casualty (P&C) license is required-but don't worry, we'll assist you if you need to get licensed in new states.

  • Identify emerging customer trends and competitive threats through data and frontline feedback, providing actionable recommendations to leadership
  • Handle escalations that require complex problem-solving, policy knowledge, and high-level communication to achieve positive outcomes for both the customer and the company
  • Maintain exceptional accuracy and completeness in documentation, ensuring all retention-related data is usable for performance and quality insights
  • Contribute to ongoing process improvement initiatives, recommending and testing solutions that enhance both efficiency and customer satisfaction
  • Must be able to work a minimum of the 40-hour work week with varied shifts and occasional weekend time

Experience and Skills:

  • Advanced understanding of customer lifecycle, competitive positioning, and value articulation in subscription-based or insurance products
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze data and trends to inform retention strategy and decision-making
  • Comfortable acting as a peer mentor, trainer, and strategic contributor without formal leadership authority
  • High degree of professionalism, empathy, and composure under pressure
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to align individual actions to organizational performance metrics
  • Proficient in CRM systems, analytics dashboards, G-Suite, and call management tools
  • Bilingual candidates (English/Spanish) encouraged to apply
