Empire Life is looking to hire a Senior Legal Counsel to join our Legal team! We are actively seeking candidates to fill a new position. The Senior Legal Counsel will provide legal, regulatory and risk management advice on a wide variety of matters related to individual life, health, disability and travel insurance products and related online platforms and processes. The successful candidate will also advise on complex IT and commercial contracts, distribution arrangements, and other legal matters, as required. The Senior Legal Counsel will report directly to the General Counsel. Although Empire Life’s head office is located in Kingston, this position may be based out of Empire Life’s Toronto, Kingston, Montreal or Quebec City offices, with the option for working from home for part of the time. This position will fill an existing vacancy.
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 15 years of experience working within the financial services industry, with a strong preference given to experience advising on legal and regulatory issues pertaining to the operations of a life and health insurance company, as well as life and health insurance products, processes and systems, and emerging technology. Strong leadership skills are required as you will provide advice and guidance on legal and regulatory risk to members of the senior management and executive leadership teams. In addition, there is potential to take on a managerial role for the right candidate. You must have strong interpersonal and communication skills, sound judgment, and take a pragmatic, risk‑based approach when providing legal advice. Bilingual (English and French) language skills will also be valued.
This is an exceptional opportunity within a well‑respected organization known for integrity, financial strength, industry‑leading technology and personalized service. The work is interesting, varied and national in nature, where you will be part of a highly collaborative team and a culture of integrity and care.
