Job description

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!

Reports To:

Customer Success Manager

Salary Range:

$80,000 - $90,000 OTE

What you'll be doing:

• Help prospective clients navigate life, critical illness, and health & dental insurance options using PolicyMe’s digital platform and your product knowledge.
• Speak with customers in both French & English to answer questions and guide them through the buying process.
• Manage a high-volume pipeline of 300–350 inbound leads each month.
• Use HubSpot to track conversations, follow-ups, and application stages.
• Recommend the right coverage based on customer needs, using a clear and honest consultative approach.
• Maintain high-quality service across phone, email, and SMS channels.
• Address customer questions related to their needs, product details, or how the insurance process works.
• Collaborate with teammates and team leads to help improve workflows and elevate the customer experience.
• Ensure every prospective customer receives the same honest, helpful, and human service PolicyMe is known for.
• Other duties as required.

What we are looking for:

• Bilingual in French and English, with strong written and verbal communication in both.
• Open to obtaining licensing in Quebec if not already licensed there.
• A licensed Life and Accident & Sickness insurance agent with a valid LLQP.
• 1 – 4 years of experience in insurance or a related industry.
• Experience managing a high-volume pipeline with strong organizational skills.
• A proven track record of exceeding sales targets in a consultative sales environment.
• Ability to manage objections and explain complex concepts clearly.
• A natural conversationalist who builds rapport easily and makes clients feel heard.
• High empathy and discretion, especially when speaking about personal or financial topics.
• Coachable and a strong desire to learn and improve.
• A growth mindset with the ability to adapt to change and contribute to continuous improvement.
• Ownership over your work and your pipeline.
• Alignment with PolicyMe’s values and commitment to putting the customer’s best interest first.
• Group Insurance of Persons license is considered a great asset.

Please note:

As a standard procedure for audit compliance, this position is subject to credit checks, background checks, and reference checks.

Why join us:

• Generous PTO – 20 vacation days.
• Access to stock options and a comprehensive benefits plan.
• A remote-first team with company paid in‑person socials and the option to work from our Toronto‑based office.
• Resources to help your professional development, including an L&D budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential.
• Work with an empathetic, high‑performing team in a flexible, results‑oriented environment.
