Be the voice of Optiom. Make every call count. Build a career in specialty insurance.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, take pride in every customer interaction, and bring both empathy and precision to your work — this role was made for you.
Optiom is hiring a Customer Care Representative to join our Client Care team. In this front-line service role, you will be the primary point of contact for our policyholders — fielding inbound calls, resolving policy questions, explaining coverage and billing details, and handling administrative policy transactions with a high degree of accuracy. Around 80% of your time will be spent on the phones; the remainder on written correspondence and policy maintenance. You will represent Optiom's service standards on every call and leave every policyholder feeling heard, informed, and well-served.
WHO YOU ARE
You may not have worked in insurance before. But you will thrive here if you are the kind of person who stays composed under volume, communicates with confidence and warmth, and takes ownership of every interaction from first ring to resolution.
You Bring
- 1–2 years of experience in a customer service, call center, or client-facing role — required.
- Confident, professional verbal communication — you are comfortable guiding policyholders through complex billing, coverage, and policy questions over the phone.
- Strong active listening skills and genuine empathy; you understand that every call represents a real person navigating a real concern.
- High attention to detail — you catch the things others miss, and you know that accuracy in a regulated environment has real consequences.
- Comfort working in a structured, procedure-driven environment where following established call-handling protocols is not optional.
- Experience navigating CRM or policy management portals and logging call notes in a digital environment.
- The ability to handle confidential policyholder information with integrity and professionalism.
- A collaborative attitude and openness to feedback — you are here to grow, and you take the team's standards seriously.
Bonus Points For
- Prior experience in insurance, financial services, or another regulated customer service environment.
- Familiarity with insurance policy terms, coverage types, or premium financing concepts.
- Experience in a non-licensed insurance agent role with a working understanding of authority limits under provincial insurance legislation.
- Exposure to billing, payment processing, or premium finance administration workflows.
- Experience with Salesforce, Guidewire, or comparable CRM or policy management systems.
- Bilingual in English and a second language such as Punjabi, Mandarin, or French.
