Introduction:
The Zebra is revolutionizing how connected consumers research and shop for insurance. We intentionally strive to build diverse teams that feel inclusive for all. Our motto is "All Stripes Welcome," and we put that into practice by valuing both traditional and non-conventional backgrounds and perspectives. Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, & working together to tackle exciting problems.
Our advisors are thoughtful, driven professionals who take pride in their work, support one another, and show up focused and ready to solve real customer problems.
As a Customer Service Advisor, you are the trusted advocate for customers after they purchase their policy. This is not an entry-level service role. Our service team manages complex policy needs, works directly with carrier partners, and is trusted to resolve issues efficiently and independently.
You’ll support customers through policy changes, billing questions, and problem resolution while maintaining professionalism, composure, and accountability, even during emotionally charged interactions.
