      Work should be so much more than just a job you do to earn a paycheque. And at SGI, it is.

      We offer the essentials – a competitive salary, great pension, and excellent employer-paid family benefits. But we also provide opportunities. The opportunity to do work that makes a difference in your community. The opportunity to expand your professional skills and grow your career. And the opportunity to come to work every day to a job you’re passionate about and that leaves you feeling happy and fulfilled.

      Now that we’ve (hopefully!) sparked your interest, here’s some good news: we’re hiring for one of the following roles:

      Associate Counsel – Corporate

      This is a junior-level legal management role with settlement authority of up to $20,000 and with at least 1 year call to the bar. As an Associate Counsel – Corporate, you will provide legal opinions for corporate-related and privacy/information management matters and lead, assist and monitor the preparation, review and vetting of corporate contracts and agreements of high complexity for SGI and its regional operations.

      For this position we are looking for someone with a four-year degree in a relevant field of study such as Law and call to the bar in the applicable jurisdiction and three years’ experience in the general practice of law with a focus on corporate insurance law.

      Base salary range: $83,280 – $111,024

      Counsel – Corporate

      This is a mid-level legal management role with settlement authority of up to $50,000 and with at least 5 years call to the bar. As a Counsel – Corporate, you will assist with more complex corporate matters and provide advice, guidance and direction to junior lawyers and paralegals.

      For this position we are looking for someone with a four-year degree in a relevant field of study such as Law and call to the bar in the applicable jurisdiction and six years’ experience in the general practice of law with a focus on corporate insurance law.

      Base salary range: $100,776 – $134,376

      We hope you consider applying if you:

      • Have built your corporate knowledge and want to work in a supportive environment where you can put your skills to good use.
      • Are knowledgeable in all stages of procurements, privacy matters, contracts and business strategy.
      • Are skilled in helping clients navigate complex or sensitive issues, keeping the client’s best interests in mind and advising on best practices.
      • Want to leverage your leadership skills for good – like actively supporting SGI’s culture, expanding your own learning and supporting your colleagues as they do the same.

      We know that confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way, so please don't hesitate to apply. We'd love to hear from you!

      What else do we offer?

      Our website gives a run-down of the many perks of working with us, including:

      • Work-life balance: How does an additional three weeks off a year sound?
      • Personal development: We invest in our employees. We provide leadership and employee training, and provide education funding, to support your self-improvement goals and keep our teams thriving.
      • A positive, healthy work culture: Work culture can be the reason an employee stays or leaves a job. At SGI Canada, we’ve worked hard to develop a culture we’re proud of. And we continue to invest in our culture through training to make sure that our actions (and culture) reflect our corporate values: caring, passion, innovation, and integrity.

      We strive to be the kind of employer that employees recommend to a friend. We want our employees to want to come to work, and we look forward to your application.

      Diversity is a cornerstone of SGI. We believe all candidates should be given the opportunity to fully participate during the recruitment process.
