• Understand and communicate tax and estate planning related to life and living benefits to a variety of advisors  
• Expand and multiply the acquisition of new life insurance, disability and critical illness business by working with advisors
• Deliver product expertise, creative sales ideas and industry insight  - our product shelf is robust, dependable and effective and we’re looking to you to show case to advisors the power behind Canada Life solutions.
• With your credibility and expertise (CFP, CH.F.C., PFP and/or CLU), you’re ready to lead, inspire and set the agenda. You’ve got a team, and you’ll be supported with proven processes, product solutions, strategies and technical support

• Your day runs the gamut from researching trends and business growth to sharing actionable ideas. You transition seamlessly from your desktop to your iPhone and face-to-face. Your territory is wide, and you welcome the road.

• You thrive because you get personal satisfaction that comes from helping others succeed. Your mentoring nature is part of your DNA, and you appreciate the key role you play in helping Canadians reach their goals and dreams.  

• General understanding of tax and estate planning principles related to life insurance and living benefit solutions
• Hold valid financial services designations, such as CFP, CH.F.C, PFP or CLU
