Employer Profile

We are excited for you to meet your colleagues at Stanhope, where we offer Atlantic Canadian insurance professionals a supportive and rewarding employment experience like no other.

Similar to a smaller broker shop, we are independent so we offer a close-knit, supportive team culture and our brokers are empowered to do what it takes to deliver on our customer promises.
Similar to the largest brokers and insurers in the country, we boast a powerful reputation in our industry (and the greater Atlantic Canadian business community) so we have the pleasure of working hand in hand with the most prominent clients in our region – except we do not silo or centralize key service functions and our staff are not just employee numbers, they are members of one extended, supportive family where customers actually do come first.

What else sets us apart?
We offer a hybrid work-from-home/work-from-office model which provides the optimal work/life balance and flexibility. We also boast above-market compensation, generous vacation allowances and other unique benefits.

What makes this position so unique and rewarding?

• We do not operate in silos nor do we centralize or outsource – this means our commercial account managers are empowered to be hands-on with our clients, providing exceptional service for all facets of their needs

• The members of our commercial team are trusted and enabled to go above and beyond for our clients – we don’t micromanage or use highly metrics-driven performance management

• At Stanhope Simpson, you are not just an employee number; every member of our team has each other’s back as we are a supportive, collaborative team environment

• Our book of business is comprised of large, highly esteemed clients, which makes our work both challenging and highly rewarding
