Work Arrangements: You will work from your home office 100% of the time. You may be required to be in-person at our office in Waterloo, ON or another assigned location within the Waterloo Region, on an as needed basis. Sales related roles may be required to travel based on the assignment.

The Opportunity: At Equitable, our Client Care Representatives are subject matter experts in all aspects of our Health and Dental products and can quickly answer questions and resolve different problems for our customers.

We provide you with extensive training to ensure that you are equipped with the knowledge to assist and educate our clients with their varying needs, without having to sell them on a solution – that’s right, none of that dreaded upselling!

You will also have the opportunity to use your investigative skills to work with the Fraud Investigations team by referring suspicious claims and alerting the department to any potential fraud-related findings.

What you will bring:

• Fluency in both French and English is required for this position, including the ability to speak, read, and write proficiently in both languages
• Previous experience in a phone-based customer service role is required
• Previous experience in an insurance company, group benefits role, or a related medical field is preferred
• Superior interpersonal skills to manage relationships with internal and external clients
• Excellent listening skills to facilitate positive outcomes with inquiries and difficult callers
• Ability to handle high stress levels in a fast-paced production environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

What’s in it for you:

• A healthy work-life balance with employee wellness top of mind
• Annual bonus program, annual vacation allowance, and company-paid benefits program
• An additional paid volunteer day each year so you can spend time giving back to the community
• Immediate enrollment in the company’s pension program with employer matching
• Employee resource groups that support an inclusive work environment
• Tuition support and specialized program assistance
• An onsite full-service cafeteria with a variety of daily options
• Discounts on company products and services, and access to exclusive employee perks
• Regular EQ Together events focused on company togetherness and collaboration
