VETERINARY SALES ASSOCIATE - Detroit, MI

*** CANDIDATE MUST LIVE IN DETROIT, MI AREA ***

WHY JOIN US

Every day, we work side by side with Veterinary Hospitals and witness the barriers to providing quality medical care. We believe one of the best ways to prevent compassion fatigue is to find satisfaction in your career. At Trupanion, we are the industry leader in medical insurance for dogs and cats. Our mission is simple. To help the pets, we all know and love receive the best veterinary care possible. We are searching for a dedicated Animal Health Professional that has the passion to help better their local community. Come join a team of misfits who want to leave the veterinary industry better than they found it.

THE ROLE

We want an individual who envisions a better way to practice medicine and can influence that change. As a Territory Partner Associate, it is your responsibility to educate veterinarians, practice managers, and office staff within your local veterinary community. Showing them how having clients insured by Trupanion will benefit the companion animals they serve and provide the best tool for removing the financial barriers to care. The ideal candidate is a subject matter expert on operational workflows within clinical practice and can provide best-practice solutions to integrate Trupanion and our patented software into a clinic’s daily protocols. You must have natural leadership abilities who passionately believe in our mission. This is a position that offers a true work-life balance.
