5. Writing letters to communicate pertinent benefit related information based on analytical reasoning.
6. Demonstrating resiliency, empathy and compassion when listening and communicating with plan members including delivering difficult claims related decisions.

Our Disability Case Managers work on teams that manage Absence Management Consultative Services (AMCS), Short Term Disability (STD) or Long-Term Disability (LTD) claims.

What we are looking for:

1. The successful candidate will be required to communicate in English and French in order to support clients from various jurisdictions outside of Quebec.
