Job Description
Bilingual Senior Group Underwriting Best Practice Analyst
Location: Remote - Canada (anywhere)
About the Opportunity
Our client is a national group benefits carrier with a strong reputation for operational excellence and a culture that genuinely invests in its people. This is a unique hybrid role that sits at the intersection of group underwriting expertise and process innovation, ideal for a senior underwriter who has naturally gravitated toward training others, improving tools, and driving consistency across a team.
As the Senior Group Underwriting Best Practice Analyst, you will lead documentation, process, and training initiatives that directly shape how the underwriting team operates day to day. This is not a traditional pricing role, it’s an opportunity to step into a position of broader organizational influence while staying close to the technical work you know well.

- Lead and implement best practice initiatives across the group underwriting function
- Design and facilitate training programs for underwriting staff at all experience levels, from entry-level through senior
- Conduct quality reviews of complex underwriting cases and identify opportunities for continuous improvement
- Maintain, improve, and support a suite of underwriting tools, templates, and calculators
- Perform user acceptance testing (UAT) when tools and systems are updated
- Release the monthly internal underwriting bulletin as required
- Act as a liaison with internal partners including Finance, IT, and operational teams
- Contribute to and lead internal mini-projects as required
- Support and mentor the Group Underwriting Best Practice Analyst
What You Bring
- Post-secondary diploma or degree in business administration, mathematics, actuarial science, statistics, or a related field
- 5+ years of progressive group underwriting experience, including exposure to various funding arrangements
- A solid understanding of customer needs, underwriting processes, and how they connect to the broader business
- Demonstrated ability to identify root causes, evaluate alternatives, and make practical recommendations
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to adapt messaging for different audiences
- Highly organized, self-directed, and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
- High degree of initiative, accountability, and follow-through
- GBA designation is considered an asset
- Bilingualism in French and English is required
What's On Offer
- Base salary up to $100, 000, commensurate with experience
- Short-term incentive plan
- 4 weeks vacation
- Employer-paid health and dental benefits from day one
- Registered Pension Plan (RPP) + RRSP
- 8 paid sick days + 3 paid personal/family days
- Benefits
