Empathy is transforming the way families navigate lifeâs most difficult times - from the loss of a loved one to other major life transitions. By combining technology with compassionate human care, we bring clarity, comfort, and peace of mind when it matters most.
We partner with leading employers, insurers, and financial institutions to deliver meaningful, human-centric support at scale. Today, Empathy supports over 50 million people across the US, Canada, and the UK.
This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven company at the moment it enters a new market, and shape what great looks like from day one.
