The successful candidate will serve as the primary legal and regulatory adviser for Canadian operations, providing strategic, commercially focused guidance across insurance regulation, licensing, corporate governance, commercial matters, and business operations.
Key responsibilities
include leading the legal and compliance function, overseeing insurance licensing frameworks, advising on federal and provincial insurance legislation, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements, and acting as a key legal contact for regulatory authorities. The role also involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure legal and regulatory considerations are embedded into commercial decision-making and supporting strategic projects such as corporate transactions and cross-border initiatives.
The ideal candidate will be qualified to practice law in Canada and possess significant in-house legal experience within the Canadian insurance industry. A deep knowledge of Canadian insurance regulation, licensing requirements, and compliance obligations is essential, along with experience in managing legal and compliance professionals. Strong commercial contracting, corporate advisory, and regulatory engagement skills are required, as well as the confidence to advise executive leadership and communicate effectively with stakeholders. Fluency in English is necessary, and business-level French would be considered an asset.
