Pomelo Care will also never ask for your personal banking or other financial information until after you have signed an offer of employment and completed onboarding paperwork that is provided by our People Operations team.

If you receive a message that seems suspicious, we encourage you to pause communication and contact us directly at [email protected] to confirm its legitimacy. For your safety, we also recommend applying only through our official Careers page.
