Who We Are

We’re RiskX, led by a founder with 30+ years of experience and a Chief Growth Officer who’s a master of AI-driven innovation. We help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) reduce absenteeism with custom group benefits solutions. We’re not like rigid, traditional brokers—we empower employees to personalize coverage, stabilizing businesses and driving success. As a fully remote team with a tight-knit, family-oriented culture, we live for teamwork, curiosity, and innovation—and we’re ready to invest in your growth!

Who We’re Looking For

• Recent university graduates (2023–2025) with a passion for sales and helping SMBs thrive.
• No BDR or sales experience needed—we’ll mold you into a star! Sales experience is a bonus but not a must.
• Strong communication skills, a resilient and curious mindset, and a team player who thrives in a high-energy, winning culture.
• Eligible to work in Canada and comfortable working fully remote.

• Resilience: You stay motivated and bounce back from rejection, pushing forward with a positive attitude.
• Curiosity: You’re eager to learn, ask questions, and dig into understanding SMB needs.
• Strong Communication: You’re clear and confident in your verbal and written outreach, building rapport with ease.
• Coachability: You’re open to feedback and excited to grow with personalized training and mentorship.
• Team-Oriented: You thrive in a collaborative, remote environment, contributing to our tight-knit, winning culture.
• Proactivity: You take initiative, whether it’s following up on leads or seeking ways to improve your skills.

What You’ll Do

As an Entry-Level Benefits Apprentice, you’ll spend your first year in a hands-on, apprenticeship-style program, learning from our founder’s 30+ years of experience while building your sales pipeline:

• Develop BDR Skills: Learn to generate leads, conduct outreach (calls, emails), and qualify prospects for SMB group benefits plans—no prior experience needed!
• Grow into a Licensed Broker: Follow a clear 1-year path to becoming a licensed benefits broker, with mentorship every step of the way. You’ll eventually earn a piece of annual renewals, reaping the rewards of your long-term efforts and building a lasting career at RiskX.
