Looking for More Than a Traditional Insurance Administration Role?

This is an opportunity to join a modern, independent Canadian insurance brokerage where technology, automation, AI, ownership, accountability, and client experience are central to how we operate.

You will work alongside Commercial Insurance Advocates, Associates, Underwriters, Finance, and Leadership teams to help deliver exceptional service experiences while ensuring operational excellence behind the scenes.
