Hey 👋

We're Fetch – a startup helping Aussies master modern pet parenting with the cutest pet insurance around. We've built Fetch from scratch, covering everything from policies to claims and apps for pet parents, vets, and even your new customer care team! Pet parents are loving Fetch; we're the highest-rated on ProductReview at 4.9 ⭐, and have a +75 NPS!

📞 Outbound Communications: Handle outbound communications to keep customers informed and happy.
🛠️ Product Feedback: Give your input on helping pet parents and vets have a great experience with Fetch
💻 Tech Support: Support software development and testing.

This is a full time position - we do open on weekends which means there will be some weekend work but we always swap it out with some of the normal weekday hours so you can have time to recharge!

Why you'll love the role

About you

We're looking for people who want to help transform pet care. We've mentioned that we are looking for a qualified vet nurse, and you'll also be:

🐾 Passionate: Be passionate about pets and an animal lover

💻 Tech-Savvy: Be comfortable using tech and systems – we'll show you how it all works!

Why you'll love Fetch

Wherever you are, you can be a part of Fetch. We work remotely across Australia but are super-connected – we've got some great tech and the support of a passionate leadership team to help you learn and grow.

🧠 Growth: Opportunity to scale a startup by 10x over the next 2 years
🎉 Remuneration: Be part of the Fetch journey with meaningful early-stage equity. Your initial salary reflects early-stage startup life, with room to grow as we scale.
🏡 Flexibility: Enjoy flexible hours and remote working (or join us in Sydney if you fancy), in a supportive, family/pet-friendly environment.
👨👩👧👦 Parental Leave: An inclusive policy that supports all parents and carers.
🏖️ Leave: 5 weeks of annual leave to fully recharge.

From Leanne, one of our vet nurses:

"I get to work with a bunch of people that are so incredibly passionate about what we do. Although some of us work remotely, it doesn't feel like it as we are constantly in contact throughout the day. It's a great team, and I love that the support team can be super involved in a lot of aspects of the business, right as it's happening."

If you're ready to use your vet skills in a whole new way and join a team that's changing the game in pet care, we'd love to hear from you!
