Contribute to sales and growth initiatives across Personal Insurance, Commercial Insurance, Small Business, Farm, and other lines of business.
Gather market insights, industry trends, and broker feedback, sharing findings with internal partners to inform business decisions.
Prepare and maintain broker performance reporting and support performance review discussions.

Broker Partnership & Communication

Build trusted relationships with brokers by acting as a collaborative business partner and resource.
Foster strong partnerships through proactive communication, responsiveness, and a commitment to delivering a positive broker experience.
Communicate product, pricing, coverage, appetite, and market updates in a clear and effective manner.
Work with brokers to develop performance improvement plans and provide ongoing support to achieve shared business objectives.
Promote organizational initiatives and support the achievement of key performance and quality measures.

Training & Education

Facilitate onboarding and ongoing learning opportunities for brokers and brokerage staff on products, systems, processes, and company practices.
Deliver education and training related to Personal Insurance, Commercial Insurance, Small Business, Farm products, and new business initiatives.
Provide coaching and refresher training to support understanding of underwriting guidelines, compliance requirements, and data quality standards.
Support learning and development initiatives arising from audit results, system enhancements, and product updates.

Contractual Compliance

Provide guidance and consultation on broker agreements, appointments, compensation considerations, and related contractual matters.
Support adherence to broker agreement terms and conditions, including amendments, renewals, and termination processes where required.
Communicate contractual and policy updates to brokers and assist with implementation and understanding of changes.

What You Bring

College diploma, bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and relevant experience in Business Administration, Insurance, or a related field.
Experience in the Property & Casualty insurance industry, including exposure to broker-facing responsibilities within areas such as Underwriting, Sales, Distribution, or related functions.
Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) designation completed or actively pursuing completion; candidates with equivalent industry knowledge and a willingness to obtain the designation are encouraged to apply.
Additional industry designations, such as FCIP or Certified Sales Professional (CSP), are considered an asset.
Strong communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively engage diverse audiences and stakeholders.
Demonstrated ability to establish and maintain collaborative, professional relationships with clients, brokers, partners, and colleagues.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Experience with Guidewire or similar insurance technology platforms is considered an asset.
Knowledge of Personal Insurance and Small Business Insurance products and services.
