Description

Principal Broker / Senior Commercial Operations Lead

Commercial P&C Brokerage

Location: Vaughan, ON (Hybrid)

An opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up, without the typical startup risk.

Our client is launching a specialized commercial insurance brokerage backed by a very large Canadian Corporation. While the brokerage is newly established, it already has a significant construction and surety portfolio in place, generating strong recurring revenue from day one.

They are seeking a senior commercial insurance professional to help architect and grow the business: building operations, shaping strategy, developing market relationships, and helping create a premier construction-focused brokerage platform.

This is not a production role. It’s an opportunity to be part builder, part strategist, and part operational leader in a business with substantial long-term growth potential.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Help build and scale a modern commercial brokerage platform
  • Lead the development of operational structure, systems, workflows, and processes
  • Provide technical leadership on complex construction and surety risks
  • Partner with ownership on growth strategy, market expansion, and long-term business development
  • Manage and grow key client and carrier relationships
  • Play a foundational leadership role as the brokerage evolves nationally

  • What We’re Looking For

    • Senior commercial P&C brokerage experience
    • Ontario Level 3 / Principal Broker license preferred
    • Strong technical expertise in commercial insurance and complex placements
    • Construction, contracting, wrap-up, or surety experience is a major asset but not required
    • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build, problem-solve, and lead in a growth environment
    • Someone energized by creating structure, influencing strategy, and helping scale a business

    Why This Opportunity Stands Out

    • Real opportunity to build and shape a brokerage from the ground up
    • Existing multi-million-dollar premium base and recurring revenue already in place
    • Backed by a large, well-established national construction organization
    • High-visibility role with direct influence on operations, growth, and future direction
    • Significant long-term upside and leadership potential as the brokerage expands
