Customer Retention Specialist

Trupanion is a leading provider of medical insurance for cats and dogs in North America. Our mission is to help loving, responsible pet owners' budget and care for their pets. At Trupanion, we offer a collaborative pet-friendly environment where everyone is encouraged to be themselves.

At Trupanion, our Contact Center is powered by passionate Care, Sales, Retention, and Team Support Specialists who work together to deliver exceptional service. We're looking for people who are excited to educate pet owners and champion the value of protecting their pets with Trupanion coverage. Our Contact Center is open 24 / 7, 365 days a year including nights, weekends, and federal holidays so team members should be prepared to support pet parents whenever they need us most.

Join Our Customer Retention Team : Meaningful work impacting pets' lives!

As a Customer Retention Specialist, you'll play a vital role in deepening relationships by engaging with customers during the moments that matter most. You'll approach each interaction with empathy and care. Listening actively, thoroughly investigating concerns and taking thoughtful, timely actions to provide meaningful support. Through impactful phone conversations and personalized email follow-ups, you'll reeducate pet parents on the long-term value of coverage, helping them fully understand the benefits of protecting their pets with Trupanion. You'll skillfully navigate objections and sensitive situations, working with customers to overcome barriers, identify solutions, and ensure they feel seen, heard, and valued.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Experienced in navigating multiple digital platforms simultaneously, with a strong aptitude for diagnosing and resolving technical issues in real time while maintaining a great customer experience
  • Proficient in using CRM Systems to document and manage customer interactions
  • Strong technical troubleshooting skills and comfort using technology independently in a remote environment
