Bilingual Client Care Representative

Alberta, Canada
Req #2307

Monday, June 3, 2024

At Equitable, we realize that your work life is not just about performing a job; it's about being part of a workplace that helps you grow and reach your full potential. Within our friendly and collaborative work environment, we recognize that the key to our growth and success is a dedicated, motivated and client-responsive staff. Join Equitable today.

Position Title: Bilingual Client Care Representative (English & French)
Reports To:
Manager, Client Care Centre
Department:
Individual
Term:
Permanent Full-Time
Schedule:
8 hour shift between the hours of 8:30am MST and 5:30pm MST
Start date:
July 2024
Location: Alberta

Work Arrangements: You will work from your home office 100% of the time. You may be required to be in-person at our office in Waterloo, ON or another assigned location within the Waterloo Region, on an as needed basis. Sales related roles may be required to travel based on the assignment.

The Opportunity: This is NOT your typical client care centre role in a massive team like so many other client care centres out there. You will work on a smaller team in a less rigid environment where people are valued and where putting the client first is the only way we do business.

Most people and organizations look at client service as an entry-level role. At Equitable, our Client Care Representatives are subject matter experts in all aspects of our Individual Life and Critical Illness products and can quickly answer questions and resolve different problems for our customers. We provide you with extensive training to ensure that you are equipped with the knowledge to assist and educate our clients with their varying needs, without having to sell them on a solution – that's right, none of that dreaded upselling

Here at Equitable, we ensure that some of your time is spent away from the phones. This time allows for side projects and other initiatives that can bring tremendous growth to our organization.

Join a recognized service leader in the insurance industry today and one of Waterloo Area's and Southwestern Ontario's Top Employers



What you will be doing:
The Client Care Representatives are our brand ambassador, providing excellent customer service to internal and external customers (our clients, advisors, and our regional sales and service offices). You'll take ownership for effectively resolving life and critical illness insurance related inquiries using a thorough knowledge of the products and by demonstrating your expertise and accountability. While most of the time is spent handling incoming telephone calls, you will also respond to email inquiries.

You will also have the opportunity to work closely with other departments and learn about what they do as you work with them to resolve inquiries.

What you will bring:

  • Bilingual proficiency in spoken and written French/English
  • Previous experience in a phone-based client care/service role is required
  • Previous experience in an insurance company, or a related medical field is an asset
  • 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 work well under pressure in a fast paced 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
  • Discounts on company products and services, and access to exclusive employee perks
  • Regular EQ Together events focused on company togetherness and collaboration

As part of the recruitment/offer process you will be required to:

  • Provide two professional references (minimum one supervisor and above)
  • Complete an assessment and/or testing
