You will be responsible for assessing, pricing, and managing group insurance risk across a portfolio of clients, ensuring both profitability and long-term financial sustainability. The position offers strong exposure to complex client structures and high-value negotiations, while working closely with sales, operations, and advisory teams. You will also play a key role in onboarding new clients, helping shape their initial experience and establishing strong long-term relationships. Operating in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, you will balance technical underwriting rigor with business partnership and client responsiveness. This is an opportunity to influence both financial outcomes and customer satisfaction within a leading group benefits organization.

  • Provide ongoing account management support, responding to client requests related to pricing, benefit changes, and plan adjustments.
  • Lead contract negotiations covering financial arrangements, service standards, and benefit design provisions.
  • Support onboarding of new clients by designing and implementing appropriate group benefit structures and ensuring smooth transition processes.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to align administrative capabilities and plan designs with underwriting and client requirements.
  • Contribute to improved operational performance and long-term portfolio profitability through data-driven decision-making.

    • Requirements:

    • Post-secondary education in business, mathematics, actuarial science, or a related analytical discipline.
    • 3+ years of experience in group benefits underwriting or a related professional risk management role.
    • Strong understanding of the group insurance market, products, and underwriting principles.
    • Proven ability to assess risk, evaluate financial implications, and make balanced underwriting decisions.
    • Excellent analytical skills with strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other data analysis tools.
    • Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex financial and technical concepts to clients and internal stakeholders.
    • Demonstrated experience working with sales teams and supporting client-facing negotiations.
    • Strong negotiation, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities in a fast-paced environment.
    • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines.
    • Bilingualism in French and English is considered an asset.
    • CEBS or GBA certification is an advantage.

      • Benefits:

      • Competitive salary ranging from CAD $70,500 to $117,500, based on experience and location.
      • Eligibility for incentive programs tied to individual and business performance.
      • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental health coverage.
      • Retirement savings plans including pension and employer-matched contributions.
      • Paid time off including vacation, personal days, sick days, and statutory holidays.
