Common Wealth Retirement

Ottawa

While we are considering applicants from across the country, we have a strong preference for candidates based in British Columbia or elsewhere in the Pacific time zone, to support employers and advisors across Western Canada.

Common Wealth exists to make retirement security accessible to all Canadians. As Canada’s fastest-growing group retirement provider, we serve over 1,800 employers across the country and are helping tens of thousands of Canadians build long‑term financial security. Our award‑winning retirement platform makes it easy for employers of all sizes to offer competitive retirement perks, empowers members to build wealth with confidence, and equips advisors with tools to better serve their clients. We work closely with a rapidly expanding network of advisors, for whom we strive to be a true partner in powering the growth of their business.

Reporting to the Director of Account Management, you'll own the employer relationship from the moment a deal closes through the life of the partnership. Today, people working for small and mid‑sized employers are left to build retirement savings on their own, which leads to inefficient savings and poor outcomes. Our Account Managers are how we change that: getting plans live, getting employees enrolled and contributing, and keeping employers and their advisors confident in Common Wealth year after year. This is a high‑volume, scaled role, with each Account Manager supporting a portfolio of several hundred employers.

You’ll work closely with advisors, who are often the primary relationship on an account, and with cross‑functional partners in Sales,



Customer Service and Operations, Employer Service, Product, and Marketing. You'll run on a playbook‑driven operating model built on HubSpot and our internal Account Management Hub, and you'll help shape it as the team grows. Your work will directly contribute to better retirement outcomes and a more inclusive financial future for all Canadians.
