As a Risk Advisor within our Financial Services Practice, you will play a key role in expanding PROLINK’s national presence among financial services firms in Canada. You will develop a client base by positioning yourself as a trusted advisor to organizations navigating complex regulatory, professional and operational risks.

By developing deep knowledge of the financial services sector, you will advise clients on a broad range of property and casualty (P&C) insurance solutions and risk management strategies. What differentiates PROLINK is our consultative approach: we go beyond transactional brokerage to deliver thoughtful, strategic advice grounded in industry insight and long‑term value.

You will also contribute to PROLINK’s thought leadership by supporting the development of articles, tools, and insights that address emerging risk and insurance issues relevant to the financial services community.

As part of the broader Commercial Enterprise team, you will collaborate closely with colleagues across multiple industry practices. This includes participation in:

• Bi‑monthly Enterprise team meetings to share insights and best practices;
• Weekly sales and business development meetings focused on opportunity management and cross‑practice collaboration;
• Regular check‑ins with the Account Management team to support renewals and client service excellence.

Provide strategic insurance and risk management advice designed to strengthen clients’ overall resilience. For mid‑market clients, this includes delivering PROLINK’s proprietary Panoramic Risk Assessment, aligning insurance programs and risk controls with each client’s broader business objectives.

Educate current and prospective clients on their risk exposures and recommend appropriate insurance and risk management solutions that address their evolving needs.

Lead business development efforts for the Financial Services Practice, with the long‑term objective of building niche expertise that reflects PROLINK’s differentiated value proposition and consultative approach.

In support of this, PROLINK uses a unique Broker of Record–led business development model, allowing relationships to begin with value rather than price. You will receive training in this approach, incorporating modern sales methodologies and behavioural science principles.
