Full Job Description
We9re looking for a Director, Service Delivery to bring single, accountable leadership to the teams who deliver on that promise every day: Client Care, Partner Support, and our Inside Sales / Insurance Advisor team.

This is a newly created role reporting to our VP, Operations. You9ll be the leader accountable for running these functions as one metrics-governed service delivery operation: average time to answer, abandon rate, average call length, and outcomes tracked and actively managed, not just observed after the fact. At the same time, you9ll be building and scaling a producing Inside Sales / Insurance Advisor team, with the coaching infrastructure to grow it responsibly.

If you manage by the numbers and by the relationship - comfortable in a scorecard one minute and coaching a front-line leader the next - we want to talk to you.

You Bring
  • 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in contact centre, service delivery, or insurance/brokerage operations, including direct accountability for call centre KPIs (average time to answer, abandon rate, average call length, first-contact resolution, or equivalent)
  • Experience leading multiple functions or teams concurrently (10+ direct/indirect reports), with accountability for service quality and performance outcomes
  • Experience leading or scaling an inside sales, insurance advisor, or other producing sales team: this is a distinct piece of the mandate alongside service leadership
  • Direct or adjacent experience in P&C insurance, brokerage, MGA, insurance contact centres
  • Post-secondary education in business, insurance, or a related field - or equivalent demonstrable experience


Bonus Points For
  • Experience with contact centre workforce management or telephony platforms (e.g., NICE, Genesys, Five9, Talkdesk)
  • Experience in a dealer-distribution, embedded-finance, or extended warranty / vehicle service contract model
  • CIP/FCIP designation, or an active general insurance licence (Level 1/2, CAIB)
  • Experience in a premium financing, collections, or fintech-adjacent service environment


What We Offer

Competitive base salary plus performance bonus, commensurate with experience. Comprehensive group benefits (medical, dental, vision, EAP), vacation increasing with tenure, and employer-supported licensing and professional development.
