About The Position

We believe it should be easy for pet parents to do the right thing. At Pawlicy Advisor, personalized advice from the most trustworthy experts ensures pets get the best care possible. Pawlicy Advisor is a fast-growing venture-backed startup focused on helping pet owners find the right financial solutions for their pets, starting with pet insurance. Pet insurance’s popularity is growing rapidly as pet owners seek protection from the high cost of veterinary care. Pawlicy’s pet insurance marketplace takes into account a pet’s breed-specific health risks to help people find the right policy for their pet. Pawlicy markets to pet parents through a number of channels,but the partners we value the most are veterinarians. Veterinarians want their clients to have pet insurance because it increases that chance a pet parent will be able to afford the cost of treatment, but they don’t know what providers to recommend, and don’t want the liability associated with recommending a specific brand. Pawlicy Advisor helps thousands of vet offices across the US by simplifying the treatment financing conversation.
