About Us

At HUB International , we are a team of entrepreneurs. We believe in protecting and supporting the aspirations of individuals, families, and businesses. We help our clients evaluate their risks and develop solutions tailored to their needs. We believe in empowering our employees to learn, grow, and make a difference. Our structure enables our teams to maintain their own unique, regional culture while leveraging support and resources from our corporate centers of excellence.

HUB is the 5th largest global insurance and employee benefits broker, providing a boundaryless array of business insurance, employee benefits, risk services, personal insurance, retirement, and private wealth management products and services. With over $5 billion in revenue and almost 20,000 employees in 600 offices throughout North America, HUB has grown substantially, in part due to our industry leading success in mergers and acquisitions.

Position Summary

Communication & Design, often referred to as C&D, is a specialty practice of HUB. We are a team of creative professionals consisting of writers, designers, consultants, project managers, and web and app developers. Our team creates multi-channel campaigns that include print, digital and web-based projects. Most of our work focuses on Employee Benefit Communications, whose aim is to engage employees and make their benefits information easy to understand. If you’ve ever received a work email letting you know you only have two days left to enroll in health insurance, that’s us! Now we’re looking for an experienced Project Assistant to come help keep our work fresh, inclusive and fun.

Project Assistants are like assistant stage managers, helping oversee each team and making sure we reach our deadlines, so the curtain goes up by showtime. You may not literally carry a clipboard, but that’s what you’ll essentially be doing in this role—checking items off and making sure each person on the team follows their cues. You’ll work closely with consultants, project managers, writers and designers to help guide these projects from start to finish.

Our team of professionals embraces humor, creativity and individuality. Our team members include pet lovers, crafters, Netflix couch potatoes, board game collectors and more, so don’t hide your spark! We’d love to know what makes you tick.

Our Ideal Candidate

We are looking for people who are friendly and communicative, who possess a high attention to detail, are creative, flexible, organized and able to prioritize tasks while working independently. If you can meet strict deadlines and work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment, this is the place for you.

A day in the life of an Assistant Project Manager

• Attend calls to understand project and timeline
• Communicate with internal teams (consultants, project managers, writers, designers, etc.) regularly to keep projects on track
• Manage multiple projects and campaigns simultaneously and provide project status reports
• Review and resolve edits
• Track project financials to ensure invoices are accurate and submitted on time
• Manage third party vendors, which involves scheduling, coordinating and evaluating vendor performance in completing tasks in a timely manner and with utmost quality to ensure client satisfaction
  
  

Our Expectations For All Team Members

• Willingness to dedicate extra time and attention to complete tasks, when approved.
• Be yourself and work toward the overall improvement of who we are and what we do at HUB.
• Be ready to lend a helping hand when needed, and be ready to ask for help when needed!
  
  

What You Can Expect From Us

• A positive workplace. The C&D Culture Club was created by our own team members to ensure a warm welcome for new hires, offer rewards and recognition when you shine, connect remote workers through virtual coffee breaks and more!
  
  

Language Skills

Excellent written and oral communication skills. Ability to compose clear and concise correspondence.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

• Remote professional office environment (office equipment including a laptop with the requisite software and/or phone will be provided). You may be remote but you won’t be alone – you’ll meet our team members during new employee training, keep in touch through Microsoft Teams and catch up with everyone over Zoom sessions.
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
