Every day at Securian Canada means a day spent helping Canadians and their families build secure tomorrows. We’re agile and innovative, and we aren't afraid to challenge and create, or bring diverse perspectives to our work.
Who we need
You are much more than a call centre representative: you are a trusted voice at key moments, often sensitive ones linked to medical contexts. In a bilingual environment (French and English), you support clients with clarity, empathy and accuracy.
In this role, your ability to understand medical contexts, ask the right questions, and analyse sometimes complex situations is essential to provide the right level of support, tailored to each case.

The starting salary range for this position is between $50,000 CAD and $55,000 CAD, depending on experience. Details of our other benefits are provided below.
This posting is for an existing vacancy. Only one position is available; however, it may be based in multiple locations: Toronto (ON), Waterloo (ON), Burnaby (BC) or Montréal (QC).
What you will do
- Complete insurance and medical questionnaires with clients so their insurability can be assessed;
- Handle client calls about insurance claims;
- Collect the information needed to analyze requests;
- Assess needs and addressing each request in a professional, friendly and timely manner;
- Raise and vet ideas and trends to promote continuous improvement;
- Maintain up to date knowledge products and services and attend appropriate development courses on an ongoing basis.
What you will bring
- Minimum of 2 years’ experience in customer service or within the medical sector
- Exceptional active listening skills and excellent verbal and written communication abilities
- Fluency in both French and English to communicate with clients across Canada
