  • Build and maintain strong broker relationships through ongoing communication, providing guidance, support, and cross-functional collaboration as needed.
  • Identify and report broker training and educational opportunities through day-to-day interactions and participation in industry events and tradeshows.

About you

  • You are highly solutions oriented, always exceeding expectations through your resourceful and innovative approach with clients.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills enable you to develop deep relationships with clients and build synergy with colleagues quickly.
  • People love working with you, and you with them! Being in a fast-paced, dynamic environment brings out the best in you.
  • You’re always able to prioritize effectively which allows you to exceed client expectations every time!
  • Always maintaining a keen eye for detail comes easy and is key part of what has made you successful in your past roles.
  • Highly tech-savvy, with the ability to learn new systems, tools and processes with ease.

Education & Experience

  • Secondary School Diploma required, College or University Degree strongly preferred.
  • 5 years of Commercial P&C Underwriting experience desired.
  • CIP, CAIB, CRM, or other relevant certifications/designations highly desired.
