The team

The Operations team is based in our Toronto office in the heart of the Financial District in downtown Toronto. The team is crucial to our business and plays a significant role in managing our existing book of business across all our products.

The Role

What are we looking for?

We are looking for talented individuals who have excellent analytical and technical skills, possess a keen interest in working with data, and who want to start a career within the Financial Services industry.

We are NOT looking to hire graduates with a background in Data Science or anyone wishing to pursue a Data Scientist career.

Some of the key responsibilities for these roles are reviewing reinsurance treaties, conducting data analysis, and interpreting the results/arising issues. During our assessment process we will focus on your ability to excel in these activities.

To be successful within the role, you will also need to be a collaborative team player and have good interpersonal skills with a curious nature. We pride ourselves in thinking differently and so seek people who are not afraid to challenge the norm.

We welcome applications from graduates with any degree background as we work in a hugely dynamic and agile environment. There is a wide range of educational diversity across our workforce and can adapt and tailor your learning and development according to your individual experience and abilities.

What will I be doing?

You will get hands-on experience across a wide range of activities and projects. From a deep understanding of our products and clients, to reviewing client data, to managing all our stakeholders and your own treaties, you’ll gain a thorough grounding in life reinsurance – including learning what a treaty is!

Your first three to six months will focus on opportunities and activities that will help you learn and develop. This will involve a period of intensive knowledge sharing around our products and internal training courses on our tools, system, and processes. By the end of that initial period, you will also be working with other teams from around the business to implement and manage your own reinsurance treaties in our new global platform.

What do we expect from you?
We set out to be different, so our company culture is important to us. That’s why we hire top quality people and look after them. In return, we want people who think differently, critically assess how we should do something, and aren’t afraid to challenge the norm.

We will be encouraging you to learn new skills and to be brave in applying those skills throughout your career with us. We’re proud to have created an environment where we all collaborate as one team. We want everyone to fully contribute and feel empowered to make decisions.

Of course, it’s not all about the work, and we also recognize the importance of reflecting on a job well done and having fun with our colleagues!
