Vet med prices are up 40% since 2020, and pet owners are stuck having to pick between their bank account and furry friend.

You’ll manage day-to-day activities like contacting customers, negotiating repayment plans, sending correspondence, and documenting account details. Beyond the day-to-day, you’ll play a key role in shaping scalable processes and standards for our collections function, partnering with internal teams to resolve issues, improve workflows, and ensure a smooth and professional experience for every customer.\nYour impact will go far beyond collecting payments.
