  • Completion of (or working towards) a professional designation such as CIP, FCIP, or RPLU.

  • Strong technical underwriting skills with a customer service mindset.

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.

  • Team-oriented attitude with the ability to mentor and share knowledge.

What’s in It for You

  • Hybrid work model for balance and flexibility.

  • Competitive compensation package including salary, pension, RRSP matching, employee share plans, and staff discounts.

  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits from day one, plus wellness days and recognition programs.
