Lead Benefits Consultant

BWD Search & Selection

About the Opportunity

A highly regarded Canadian consulting firm with a strong national reputation is seeking a senior benefits consulting professional to join its Toronto practice. This is a firm that works with some of Canada's largest employers on complex group benefits mandates. You will be joining a collaborative environment where quality of work takes precedence over billable hour targets and where there are no individual sales quotas.

The Role

You will manage a portfolio of large employer clients across group benefits, providing strategic advice on plan design, benchmarking, carrier management, cost optimisation, and renewals. You will also play a mentoring role within the team and contribute to business development activity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and grow relationships with a portfolio of large employer clients
  • Advise clients on group benefits plan design, renewals, and market benchmarking
  • Lead carrier negotiations and manage insurer relationships on behalf of clients
  • Identify opportunities to expand client relationships and contribute to new business development
  • Mentor and support junior consultants within the practice
  • Stay current on Canadian benefits legislation, market trends, and emerging issues

What We Are Looking For

  • Minimum 10 to 15 years of experience in group benefits consulting or brokerage
  • Majority of career spent in a consulting or brokerage environment (not purely in-house)
  • Experience working with large employer clients
  • Strong client management and relationship-building skills
  • Demonstrated involvement in business development or client growth
  • Comfortable managing multiple client engagements simultaneously
  • Experience with pensions or broader total rewards is an asset but not required
  • French language skills are an advantage but not a requirement
  • Based in Toronto or willing to relocate

Why This Role

  • No individual sales targets or billable hour pressure
  • Work with some of Canada's largest and most sophisticated employers
  • Genuine work-life balance with a clear switch-off culture
  • One day per week in office with flexibility for senior professionals
  • Strong team culture with real mentoring and development opportunities
