At Specialty Program Group Canada (SPG Canada), we are insurance entrepreneurs united by a bold vision: to aggregate strengths and deliver unmatched value as Canada’s largest Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprise (DUAE).

We exist to satisfy insurance needs in our target markets faster, better, and even where others might not. We do this by uniting leading underwriting talent and specialty insurance brands under one coast-to-coast platform, delivering speed, service, and expertise at a national scale.

But what truly sets us apart is our people. At SPG Canada, you will be part of a collaborative, growing team that values innovation, professional development, and shared success. Our culture is built on entrepreneurial thinking, open communication, and a strong sense of purpose. We believe in empowering our employees to take ownership, contribute ideas, and grow their careers within a supportive and dynamic environment.

Our legacy MGA brands include Cansure, i3 Underwriting, Totten Insurance Group, Beacon, and Anderson McTague & Associates. Our value to our partners is further enhanced through our in-house claims management team, Specialty Claims Canada.

Together, we are building more than a market leader — we are building a place where talented professionals can thrive.

Overview

We are looking for a Personal Lines Junior Underwriter to join our team supporting the Team 24 product offering. The role will include underwriting new business and renewal accounts alongside other members of the Team 24 group. This is a great opportunity for someone with limited underwriting experience to grow their career or someone in the insurance broking world to switch to the underwriting side of the business.

Anderson McTague’s Team 24 is a focused group of underwriters specializing in writing policies for Vacant Dwellings, Seasonal Dwellings, and Rented Dwellings.

Technology creates new time pressures for our underwriters and our broker clients, but it also allows us to do things that were impossible a decade ago. When we created Team 24, our promised turnaround time of less than 24 hours (Monday-Friday) set the bar for the entire industry and changed the way that many brokers were able to do business. Over the past few years, we’ve been building on that initial idea. Thanks to the overwhelming support of our brokers, Team 24 has expanded its commitment to around-the-clock quote request support.

This is a hybrid position in our Saint Johns, NB office, with a standard of 3 days in office and 2 days at home.

Responsibilities

This position will:

  • Build and maintain positive working relationships with internal and external parties;
  • Deliver prompt, consistent service and competitive terms to brokers across Canada;
  • Respond to broker and client inquiries professionally and in a timely manner;
  • Underwrite and negotiate new business and renewal accounts within delegated authority and corporate guidelines;
  • Perform risk analysis using internal and external data to support sound underwriting decisions;
  • Issue accurate new policies and renewals, ensuring integrity of policy and risk data;
  • Maintain clear documentation, policy completeness, and compliance with corporate standards; and
  • Support underwriting operations through various administrative tasks.

Qualifications

You’re a good fit if you have:

  • Strong attention to detail, time management, and organizational skills;
  • Effective decision-making and analytical abilities;
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal;
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, multi-deadline environment;
  • Passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences;
  • Insurance industry experience is an asset, but not required;
  • Ability to work from our Saint Johns office at least 3 days per week (hybrid model).

Benefits

By joining Specialty Program Group Canada, you’ll become part of a rapidly growing company focused on providing innovative insurance solutions to support independent brokers in Canada. As a member of our team, you’ll benefit from:

  • Dental care
  • Extended health care
  • Paid time-off
  • RRSP match
  • Vision care

Salary Range:

The expected salary range for this position is from $45,000 – $55,000 and will be impacted by factors such as the successful candidate’s skills, experience and working location, as well as the specific position’s business line, scope and level. Specialty Program Group Canada and affiliated brands are proud to offer comprehensive benefit and total compensation packages which include extended health and dental benefits, disability insurance, RRSP matching, paid time off benefits, and a variety of potential bonus opportunities.
