This role drives adoption of CMO services across client-facing business teams, ensures high-quality operational delivery in partnership with our Global Capability Center (GCC), and identifies and leads continuous improvement initiatives that increase efficiency, reduce risk, and improve the client and colleague experience.

We can Count on you to :

  • Monitor and report against key operational KPIs (e.g., onboarding turnaround, service agreement execution, completion of financial crime screenings, SLA compliance).
  • Partner with the GCC and internal leads to ensure consistent, timely, and accurate delivery of services across Canada.
  • Coordinate remediation where service gaps exist and lead root-cause analysis for recurring issues.


  • Identify, prioritize, and drive process improvements and automation opportunities that reduce manual effort and improve outcomes.
  • Partner on the design and implementation of Canada-specific enhancements to Global CMO practices where appropriate.
  • Lead change management activities for new processes or tools, including communications, training coordination, and adoption tracking.


  • Maintain oversight of governance, controls, and compliance activities affecting client onboarding and servicing.
  • Prepare and present regular performance updates, insights, and recommended actions to BCS leadership and business stakeholders.
  • Ensure issues, complaints, and operational risks are logged, tracked, and resolved in line with internal policies.


  • Influence outcomes by working cross-functionally and leveraging strong stakeholder management skills-this role does not have direct reports.
  • Coordinate with offshore/nearshore teams and other regional leads to align priorities and service levels.


What you need to have:

  • Demonstrated ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders across functional areas without direct reporting lines.
  • Strong operational mindset with experience measuring and managing KPIs, SLAs, and performance dashboards.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills; able to present to senior leadership.
  • Strong problem solving and project/priority management skills; ability to manage multiple initiatives concurrently.
  • Comfortable working in partnership with offshore/GCC teams and operating in a hybrid in-office environment.

What Makes you Stand Out:
  • Experience with client onboarding, client lifecycle management, or similar insurance operations functions.
  • Experience working with global/shared service centers (GCC/offshore) and driving improvements across distributed teams.
  • Demonstrated continuous improvement experience (Lean, Six Sigma, process mapping).
