Oak House Benefits is growing, and we're looking for an experienced Senior Group Benefits Underwriter to join our team in a role created to support our continued growth. We're looking for someone who truly knows group benefits underwriting - someone who has spent their career analyzing experience, building renewals, assessing risk and understanding what drives benefit costs. But we're also looking for more than a great technical underwriter.

You'll work alongside experienced Benefits Consultants, participate in renewal negotiation strategy, challenge insurer assumptions, identify opportunities and help translate complex financial information into advice our clients can understand and act on. If you've built your career with an insurance company, benefits consulting firm or benefits brokerage and are interested in seeing the business from the OHB perspective, we'd love to talk. As a senior member of our Benefits team, you'll provide underwriting and financial expertise across a diverse portfolio of Canadian group benefit clients.

Analyze claims experience and understand the drivers behind Health, Dental, Life and Disability results. Review insurer renewal calculations and assumptions, including credibility, trend, pooling, reserves, large claims and retention expenses. Work alongside our Consultants to develop renewal negotiation strategies and challenge insurer positions when the data supports it.

Identify emerging trends, risks and cost-management opportunities within client benefit programs. Participate in client meetings where your technical expertise and perspective can add value. Develop strong relationships with underwriting and account management teams across Canada's major insurers.

Help us continue to improve our underwriting tools, reporting,



processes and best practices. Share your expertise and provide technical guidance to other members of the Oak House team. Our ideal candidate has developed their expertise within a Canadian insurance company, employee benefits consulting firm or benefits brokerage and brings a robust understanding of how group benefit plans are priced, funded and managed.

Strong technical knowledge of Health, Dental, Life and Disability benefits. ~ Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills. ~ Confidence working with senior Consultants, insurers and clients. ~ CEBS or another relevant industry designation would be an asset. If you're currently working for an insurance company, you may be wondering what life on the consulting side looks like.

At Oak

House, you'll still get to do the technical work you enjoy - but you'll have the opportunity to see what happens next. You'll help determine the strategy. You'll see how your analysis influences plan design and client decisions. You'll help us win and retain clients. We're looking for someone who will ask questions, challenge assumptions and help us make better decisions for our clients. Company bonus plan, generous vacation, and of course, we have a great benefits and retirement plan!
