The Role

Leap Recruitment Partners is proud to represent a top-tier Canadian insurance brokerage and program management firm in their search for a strategic and high-performing Program Account Executive.

Our client is a leader in designing niche insurance solutions for professional associations and groups. We are looking for a sophisticated insurance professional who thrives at the intersection of technical risk management and high-level relationship building. In this role, you will act as a key advisor to professional organizations, navigating complex coverages like Cyber, E&O, and D&O.

• Technical Depth: Advanced understanding of policy architecture, underwriting logic, and the nuances of the specialized insurance market.

• Mobility: Flexibility to travel as required to meet with clients and participate in industry-wide gatherings.

• Organization: A disciplined approach to project management with the ability to navigate competing deadlines without compromising quality.

• Language: Professional proficiency in both French and English is highly preferred and considered a significant asset.
