The Opportunity: At Equitable, our driving factor is excellent client service - not how long each interaction takes. You will work in an environment where people are valued and where putting the client first is the only way we do business.

Our Client Care Representatives are subject matter experts in all aspects of our Individual Life and Critical Illness products and can quickly answer questions over the phone and resolve different problems for our customers. We provide you with extensive training to ensure that you are equipped with the knowledge to assist and educate our clients with their varying needs.

What you will be doing: The Client Care Representatives are our brand ambassadors, providing excellent client service to internal and external clients (our clients, advisors, and our regional sales and service offices). You’ll take ownership for effectively resolving life and critical illness insurance related inquiries using a thorough knowledge of the products and by demonstrating your expertise and accountability. While most of the time is spent handling incoming telephone calls, you may also respond to email inquiries.

• Previous experience in a phone-based client care/service role is required
• French language skills, including reading, writing, and speaking, are required
