Manager, Customer Support

About the role:

PetDesk’s Support team handles thousands of conversations every month with veterinary clinics and pet parents, and the way we deliver that support is changing fast.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys talking directly with customers and pitches in wherever the team needs it.
