Overview of the role:

Join us at PolicyMe! We’re modernizing insurance and we’d like your help. The Canadian insurance landscape has remained largely unchanged for decades and we are in the process of changing that. We’re a remote-first, Toronto-based startup with big ambitions. PolicyMe is seeking a motivated Licensed Life Insurance Advisor to join our team!

On a typical day, you’ll be educating our customers on their insurance needs by answering challenging questions, dealing with advanced customer cases, and guiding them through our different products. You will be on the front lines of PolicyMe: managing all inbound leads through their policy applications, and ensuring they get the coverage they need (and feel good about the process) via phone, SMS and email!

How it is different from a typical insurance advisor role:

This is an opportunity to be part of a dynamic and rapidly growing startup, with opportunity for upward mobility. Be involved in discussions across the organization on how to streamline operations, improve the customer experience and build innovative insurance products. Ride a wave of industry disruption, instead of fighting against it!

This position is open to Canadian-based individuals who can work from 9 AM to 5 PM PST (12 PM to 8 PM EST)
