• Leadership: Proven experience mentoring or leading underwriting teams focused on specialized client segments.

• Professional Designations: CIP and/or FCIP designation (or currently in progress).

• Financial Health: Competitive salaries, employee share purchase plans, pension plans, RRSPs, and staff insurance discounts.

• Holistic Well-being: Flexible health benefits from day one, wellness programs, and robust recognition programs for those who deliver excellence to the client.
