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
