Original job description
Billyard Insurance Group (BIG) is a leader in the insurance industry, dedicated to building a culture that reflects our core values. At BIG, we Think BIG by exceeding expectations and creating lasting value for our clients, industry, and communities. We Act with Integrity by upholding honesty, transparency, and respect in everything we do. Our clients are at the center of our decisions as we embrace a Client First, Always mindset. We believe in the power of teamwork to Achieve More Together, combining strengths to deliver meaningful solutions. Finally, we Innovate with Purpose by leading the digital insurance revolution, consistently driving quality, enhancing client service, and empowering brokers.
With over 80 locations across Canada and recognition as one of Canada's Top Growing Companies, BIG is shaping the future of insurance. Join us as we continue to redefine the industry with innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
As a BIG Managing Partner, you'll have the freedom to build and lead your own branch, backed by the full weight of a national brokerage - award-winning technology, exclusive market access, a dedicated support team, and proven systems designed to help you grow. This is your opportunity to stop working for someone else's vision and start building your own, with everything you need already in place.
What does a BIG Managing Partner do?
As a Managing Partner, you're the owner-operator of your BIG branch. You lead your team, grow your book of business, and build something that's genuinely yours - with the infrastructure of a national brokerage working behind you every step of the way.
Here's what that looks like:
- Build your branch: Recruit, onboard, and lead a team of brokers in your market, setting the culture and pace for your operation.
- Drive new business: Develop and execute strategies to grow your client base through referral networks, community relationships, digital outreach, and your team's sales activity.
- Leverage exclusive market access: Offer your clients more options with access to 40+ insurance providers across personal, commercial, life, and travel lines.
- Use best-in-class tools: Operate with BIG's proprietary AI-driven underwriting and analytics platform - purpose-built to make quoting faster, smarter, and more competitive.
- Deliver an exceptional client experience: Collaborate with BIG's service, underwriting, and account management teams so your clients are supported throughout their entire policy lifecycle.
- Own your financials: Manage your branch's performance, track key metrics, and drive profitability with the support of BIG's operational and financial frameworks.
- Represent the brand: Build your reputation in your community as a trusted, client-first insurance leader backed by one of Canada's fastest-growing brokerages.
- Grow your team: Attract and develop talented brokers, creating a high-performance environment where people want to work and succeed.
- Stay ahead of the industry: Participate in BIG's ongoing training programs through BIG U and stay current on product knowledge, market trends, and compliance standards.
- Connect with the network: Tap into the collective knowledge of 80+ Managing Partners and the full BIG Head Office leadership team - because you're independent, but never alone.
