Job Description:

Are You Ready to Drive End-to-End Growth and Shape the Future of an Evolving Platform?

If you've successfully led complex cross-functional initiatives, built high-performing teams, and translated market opportunities into measurable outcomes—this is your opportunity to make your mark at scale.

The Opportunity

Prospr is at an inflection point. We're looking for a proven Director who thrives in owning growth initiatives from strategy through execution—someone with the strategic acumen, stakeholder influence, and operational courage to unlock new revenue streams and strengthen our competitive position.

Reporting to the AVP, Business Growth & Strategy, you'll lead a team driving priority growth initiatives while building trusted relationships across Prospr, SLFD, and key functional partners. This is a highly visible role where you'll shape strategy, influence decisions across the organization, and directly impact business outcomes.

What Success Looks Like

• Own end-to-end growth initiatives: Define strategy, build business cases, pilot solutions, and drive implementation across multiple functions—seeing ideas become market reality.

• Lead and elevate a high-performing team: Attract and develop top talent, set clear ownership, and create accountability for measurable results in a dynamic environment.

• Build and leverage trusted relationships: Establish credibility with SLFD leaders, field advisors, cross-functional partners, and senior executives—mobilizing stakeholders without direct authority to execute on complex priorities.

• Translate insight into strategy: Synthesize client, advisor, and market data into clear recommendations, growth plans, and scalable go-to-market approaches that drive meaningful outcomes.

• Drive advisor engagement and client acquisition: Identify whitespace opportunities, deepen relationships with existing clients, and build partnerships that expand Prospr's footprint across life, health, and wealth solutions.

• Champion performance management: Establish and monitor KPIs around advisor engagement, client acquisition, pipeline velocity, and revenue impact—using data and CRM tools to course-correct and optimize.

What You Bring

• Proven track record leading growth strategies: Significant experience in strategy, business development, sales leadership, or partnerships—ideally in financial services, distribution, or advisor-led channels.

• People leadership that attracts talent: You've built, coached, and developed high-performing teams through ambiguity and changing priorities. You know how to create ownership and accountability.

• Deep market and customer acumen: You understand financial services, insurance, wealth management, or field-based distribution models. You speak the language of advisors and sales leaders and can anticipate their needs.

• Execution excellence: You've moved beyond strategy documents—you've managed pilots, launched go-to-market initiatives, and driven adoption across functions. You balance strategic thinking with hands-on accountability.

• Cross-functional influence and credibility: You mobilize complex stakeholder ecosystems, build trust quickly, and have the presence to engage confidently with senior leaders and advisor communities.

• Commercial judgment and analytical rigor: You assess opportunities with both strategic vision and hard-nosed performance metrics. You're comfortable with ambiguity but driven by outcomes.

• Salesforce or CRM platform expertise: You use pipeline management and CRM tools fluently to inform business development strategy and performance decisions.

Why This Matters

You'll lead in a high-visibility role where your strategic decisions and team's execution directly drive revenue growth and strengthen relationships across the organization. This is a platform to demonstrate leadership at scale, expand your stakeholder network, and build a portfolio of wins that elevate your profile within Sun Life.
