Junior Executive Assistant

Junior Executive Assistant (Part-Time, Entry Level)

Citron Insurance | Toronto, ON | [Hybrid / In-person / Remote]

About Us

Citron Insurance is a life insurance brokerage helping individuals and families protect what matters most. We work directly with clients and with insurance companies to find the right coverage. We’re a small team, so you’ll work closely with the owner and see how the whole business runs.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, entry-level Junior Executive Assistant role for a smart, curious person who wants to learn how a small financial services business works by supporting the owner directly. No insurance experience is needed. You’ll start by supporting day-to-day administration and communications, and as you grow, you’ll take on more ownership of our social media, marketing, and bookkeeping.

We’re a small, fast-moving team, so no two weeks look the same. If you like variety, bring creative energy, and enjoy figuring things out as you go, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll be mentored directly by the owner and will leave with practical skills in marketing, client communication, and business operations.

Administration

• Book and manage client and partner meetings
• Follow up with clients to keep files moving and relationships warm
• Help with day-to-day communications with insurance companies

Social Media, Content & Marketing

• Edit short-form video and other content for social media
• Plan and organize marketing campaigns from idea through launch, including calendars, timelines, and tracking

What We’re Looking For

• Creative and bright: you have ideas, and you enjoy turning them into content people actually want to read and watch
• Positive and easygoing: you bring good energy and make the people around you want to work with you

• Sharp, curious, and quick to learn, with good judgment
• Reliable and comfortable managing multiple tasks
• Comfortable with everyday tools (email, calendars, Google Workspace or Microsoft Office)
