Working closely with Group Legal and Compliance, you will help embed relevant policies, controls and escalation processes across the Canadian business.\nAlongside your regulatory responsibilities, you will review and negotiate Canadian law-governed supplier contracts, leases and commercial agreements, while maintaining key legal templates including broker agreements, binding authority agreements, claims handling agreements and NDAs.\n\nYou will also lead regulatory engagement and reporting, monitor relevant legal and regulatory developments, and translate changes into clear, practical guidance for colleagues across underwriting, claims, operations, compliance and leadership. The role will additionally support strategic initiatives including M&A, portfolio acquisitions, cross-border projects and entity-level dispute management.\nAbout you\nYou will be a Canadian-qualified lawyer with at least 10 years’ relevant experience and extensive in-house insurance experience. You will bring a deep understanding of Canadian federal and provincial insurance regulation, licensing and compliance requirements, alongside strong knowledge of MGAs and the delegated authority model.\n\nYou will have experience managing corporate and individual licences for insurance and claims-handling activities, as well as leading a Canadian legal and compliance team.
