Job description

Are you an experienced professional with deep expertise in Group Retirement Savings (GRS) looking to take the next step or elevate your career in a senior, client-facing role? As a Senior Client Relationship Manager, you will be the strategic partner and trusted advisor to a defined block of clients and intermediaries in Western Canada. You’ll play a critical role in developing long-term relationships, driving client satisfaction, and delivering tailored retirement solutions that align with our business objectives and the evolving needs of plan sponsors and members. This role is ideal for professionals with retirement and savings experience—group or institutional—who are ready to lead client relationships at a senior level, influence outcomes, and contribute to a modern, people-focused, high-performing organization. You’ll join a growing organization that is expanding its presence in the Canadian GRS market—one that values simplicity, people-focus, modern thinking, and high performance. You’ll be empowered to make a meaningful impact by delivering tailored retirement solutions, advocating for client needs, and contributing to a collaborative, forward-thinking culture. If you’re passionate about building long-term relationships, influencing outcomes, and being the voice of the client, this is your opportunity to thrive. More specifically, you will be required to:

  • Proactively manage a portfolio of group retirement clients, ensuring high satisfaction, retention, and profitable growth.

  • Build and strengthen relationships with pension committees, senior client contacts, intermediaries, and other key stakeholders to anticipate needs and deliver proactive solutions.

  • Act as the voice of the client within the organization, collaborating with internal teams to deliver exceptional service and innovation.

  • Support business development efforts, including participating in finalist presentations and showcasing the GRS value proposition.

  • Analyze client data, prepare insightful reports and presentations, and recommend strategies that help clients meet their retirement plan objectives.

  • Resolve issues efficiently by coordinating with internal teams and ensuring timely, accurate responses.

  • Contribute to internal initiatives, bringing the client perspective to cross-functional projects and continuous improvement efforts.

  • Collaborate with Group Benefits colleagues to identify and pursue joint opportunities that enhance the overall client experience.
