Rise is Canada's complete people management solution that gives employers everything they need to build loyal and productive teams—all in one place. We collaborate and co-create to build solutions that completely change how companies of all shapes and sizes manage their payroll, scheduling, time tracking, group benefits, recruitment, onboarding, and more.

In partnership with some of Canada's most innovative insurance carriers, Rise Health offers Canada's only fully integrated digital employee group benefits solution, delivering the most delightful one-stop-shop experience, from plan design to self-enrolment and administration, to billing and premium collection.

At Rise, we're changing how work happens and how people work. We'd love for you to join us and experience the most positive, challenging, and transformative part of your career.

About the role

Advisors play an essential role in Canadian group benefits. Employers lean on their advisors to find the right plan, and advisors bring their clients to the partners they trust. Rise Health was built for that relationship. We work through advisors, and we give them something new to offer: a benefits plan that lives inside the employer's payroll and HR platform, with self-enrolment, a single invoice, and payroll reconciliation built in. Plenty of advisors already quote with us, and many more haven't met us yet.

That's where you come in. You'll own the advisor channel: finding the advisors who should be quoting with Rise Health, earning their trust, and turning that trust into a steady flow of quotes. Then you'll work each deal yourself, from first call to close. You can hold your own in a room full of benefits people because you've spent years in that room.

You'll report to the President of Rise Health. The advisor network you build is how Rise Health grows.

The day-to-day

Grow Rise Health's advisor network across Canada. Deepen relationships with advisors who quote with us and win over the many who don't yet.

Work each opportunity from specifications to signed case: review the specs an advisor sends, coordinate the quote, present the proposal, explain pricing and plan deviations, and answer the questions that decide the deal.

Manage the client leads advisors bring to Rise Health, and keep every one of them moving.
