Edmonton Executive Leadership Growth-Focused Insurer

We are partnering with a forward-thinking, fast-evolving insurance organization that's redefining how risk is managed and understood in Canada. They're building a smarter, more agile business - and they need a Chief Risk Officer who sees as a strategic lever for growth.

This isn't about policing decisions - it's about enabling innovation with a strong, scalable risk strategy.

Why Apply?

  • You'll lead enterprise-wide risk in a business that actually listens to its risk leader
  • You'll have a seat at the executive table, shaping direction, not just reacting to it
  • You'll champion a risk-aware culture while supporting bold, business-driven decisions
  • You'll help modernize and future-proof the risk function across regulatory, financial, operational, and emerging domains

What do you bring?

  • 10+ years in senior risk roles - insurance or adjacent financial services
  • A track record of building and scaling enterprise risk frameworks
  • Experience engaging with boards, audit, and risk committees
  • A commercial mindset, clear communicator, and collaborative partner
  • A future-focused approach: data-aware, tech-comfortable, and strategically sharp
  • Designations like CRM, FCIP, CPA, or MBA are a definite advantage - but mindset and leadership matter more

What's On the Table?

  • Base Salary: $210,000 - $250,000, depending on the experience you bring
  • Annual Bonus: 20% - 35% performance-based
  • Total Compensation Potential: $250,000 - $340,000+
  • Benefits: Comprehensive executive benefits package, including extended health, wellness support, paid time off, and professional development allowances
  • Work Environment: Hybrid flexibility with presence expected at the executive table and key cross-functional moments

Candidates must be eligible to work in Canada. Only candidates selected to move forward in the hiring process will be contacted.
