Insurance Broker Desjardins jobs

Billyard Insurance Group (BIG) Hamilton is one of the most established and respected offices within the BIG network. As the first ever branch office of Billyard Insurance Group, our team has played a foundational role in the growth and success of the brand across Canada.

Today, BIG operates more than 80 locations nationwide and continues to be recognized as one of the fastest growing brokerages in the country, including being featured on Insurance Business Canada’s Top Brokerages list and The Globe and Mail’s Report on Business Top Growing Companies.

While the BIG brand has grown nationally, our Hamilton office remains deeply focused on building a high-performance team of brokers who want to grow meaningful books of business and long-term careers in the insurance industry.

Our approach is simple: provide brokers with the technology, training, and support infrastructure they need so they can focus on what actually drives growth — building relationships and writing business.

We are currently expanding our sales team and are looking for driven professionals who want to build a career inside a brokerage that values performance, accountability, and long-term growth.

This is a growth position within our Hamilton office.
