Who we need

Reporting to the Manager, Customer Service, we are adding two Bilingual Customer Service Representatives to our team. You will provide a swift response to customer inquiries, receiving calls to address them.  Your day will entail offering support to customers through delivering information and solutions to build loyalty and retain business.

These roles follow an 11am-7pm schedule and can be 100% remote with the expectation to go into the office once a month.

What's in it for you

A collaborative environment where you get to make an impact both on a team and independently. You will enjoy the camaraderie that stems from the support you offer and receive from your team. You will be able to operate with relative autonomy, but your leaders will also be readily available to support you by offering constructive feedback. Your efforts will be instrumental in securing our position as one of Canada’s leading insurance providers. You will be the unseen face of Canadian Premier, offering the dedicated support that builds long-lasting trust with our customers.

What you will do

• Answer customer inquiries. You will respond to inbound telephone calls from customers regarding billing, provisions, benefits, and allowable changes to their contracts. You will also respond to inbound sales calls while offering accurate information about policy transactions and other insurance products.
• Process customer requests. You will handle customer transactions and requests with a helpful attitude and confidence that keeps them on the line as you offer the right solutions to their queries.
• Stay updated on company policy. You will acquire and maintain the knowledge of company policies, their features and benefits, policy contracts, provisions, processing procedures, and government regulations so that you can provide the most accurate information to calling customers.
