What We Do

Wagmo is a new type of pet health company focused on empowering and inspiring responsible pet parenting through top-tier pet benefits provided by employers. From everyday care to rainy-day emergencies, we offer tech-enabled solutions that are optimized for value and flexibility so that our pet parents always feel confident that they are giving their pets the care they deserve.

What's Important To Us

We solve hard problems all day long but hang out with dogs while we do it. We value authenticity and efficiency and have no time for egos. We prioritize performance over pedigree, compensate fairly, and never take ourselves too seriously.

Our values are core to who we are and how we operate. We talk about them all the time. These are not just things posted on a wall. We will interview for them, hold each other accountable to them and make sure we work with every single person we interact with in a way that's consistent with these values.

We’re looking for motivated, solutions-focused, passionate, and results-oriented sales professionals to help us impact and grow our strong sales team, achieve our goals, and champion Wagmo in the overall pet wellness and insurance ecosystem. If you possess the expertise of selling to brokers and in-house HR/Benefits team - along with the drive to uncover new sales prospects, love dogs (or cats!), and are looking for an exciting growth opportunity, we want to talk with you!
