Already you’re recognized as the one to watch. Now you’re ready to step up the game in the insurance arena — and to shine like the go-getter you are. Join a creative organization where you’ll connect with some of the most entrepreneurial, spirited, energetic people you’ll ever meet.
We’re looking for a Insurance Wholesaler with a solid background in insurance to play a key role with the Product Solutions team in Vancouver.

- You really care about relationships and your book of business. As a resource specialist for life, disability and critical illness insurance, you’re excited to bring forward a sales concept to your advisors and help ensure the idea resonates with their clients. Your advisors appreciate your advice to help them meet their goals. When they succeed, you succeed and you live by that credo.
- You believe in cross-pollination and sharing ideas, not just with your proprietary team of advisors, but with your peers in other regions as well. Change and evolution keep you engaged and fulfilled.
In this position it’s about personal and professional growth and results, and that’s what drives you. Speaking of which, you’ll welcome opportunities to build your business.
You thrive because you get personal satisfaction that comes from helping others succeed — your mentoring nature is part of your DNA, and you appreciate the key role you play in helping Canadians reach their goals and dreams.
If you believe you’ve got what it takes, and want to make a difference, we want to hear from you.
