You’ll also receive comprehensive health benefits from day one, pension and employee share purchase programs, insurance discounts, and ongoing education support. Licensing and professional development opportunities are available to help you continue building your insurance career.

• Competitive and results-driven with a genuine hunter mentality and comfort developing business from the ground up.
• Outgoing, personable, and confident building relationships face-to-face with business owners and decision-makers.
