Full job description

About Us:
Zensurance is redefining commercial insurance for Canadian businesses.
As a leading InsurTech, we make getting the right coverage simple, fast, and accessible through a digital-first experience. Our platform combines advanced technology with deep industry expertise to deliver tailored insurance solutions that help businesses thrive.
Zensurance has been recognized for its rapid growth and industry impact:
✅ Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 (2023, 2024, 2025)
✅ Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 (2024, 2025)
✅ Top Insurance Employers (2022)

At Zensurance, we value ownership, collaboration, and innovation. Our team thrives on solving complex challenges, challenging the status quo, and making a real impact in an industry ready for change.
If you're looking to build something meaningful in a fast-growing, customer-focused company, we’d love to hear from you!

As we continue to rapidly grow, we are looking for an Associate General Counsel & Privacy Officer to help scale our oversight functions while maintaining our innovative DNA.
Reporting to the General Counsel, you will play a pivotal, dual role. You will have a direct seat at the table to provide high-level legal support across all business units—from Underwriting to IT—while serving as the enterprise’s primary authority and designated Privacy Officer. Alongside the General Counsel, working closely with senior leadership (encompassing the CEO & Founder, COO, and VPs of Sales, Marketing, Technology, People, and Finance), you will safeguard our digital operations, commercial strategies, and technological innovations. For the right candidate, this role is anticipated to grow as Zensurance continues to scale upwards.

Responsibilities:

1. Legal Operations & Commercial Oversight

  • Contract Lifecycle Management: Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial agreements, including SaaS licenses, vendor contracts, and partnership/binder agreements with our insurance markets.

  • MGA & Underwriting Support: Support product development, underwriting authorities, and digital automation risks.

  • Regulatory Compliance & Governance: Ensure ongoing compliance with provincial insurance regulators (such as RIBO) across Canadian operating provinces. Assist the GC in preparing materials for the Board of Directors.

  • Claims & Litigation Support: Provide expert legal guidance to the internal Claims/Errors & Omissions (E&O) team on complex files, litigation matters, and risk mitigation strategies.

2. Privacy & Data Governance (Designated Privacy Officer)

  • Privacy Program Leadership: Serve as the official enterprise authority on privacy, maintaining and evolving our data protection framework alongside the Information Security Officer (ISO) to ensure strict adherence to PIPEDA and provincial legislation.

  • Privacy Assessments: Develop, maintain, and oversee Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), with a specific focus on protecting an online, digital-first insurance platform.

  • Incident Response & Training: Lead the legal response team for data security incidents or privacy inquiries, managing breach notification assessments and transparent reporting. Develop and deliver ongoing compliance and privacy training for our 350+ staff members.

3. AI, Technology & Marketing Innovation

  • AI Governance & Tech Ethics: Collaborate closely with IT, software engineers, and data scientists to establish ethical and legal guardrails for AI implementation, machine learning initiatives, and AI-driven underwriting tools.

  • Compliant Disruption: Stay ahead of emerging Canadian tech regulations to ensure our "speed-to-quote" technology remains a competitive advantage while staying fully compliant.

  • Marketing Review: Partner with our high-growth marketing team to review digital, online, and traditional marketing initiatives, ensuring regulatory compliance for the company's largest budget component.

4. Compliance & Ethics

  • Support the GC/CECO in maintaining and evolving our corporate Ethics and Compliance program, ensuring our culture of integrity evolves with our growth.

Qualifications:

  • Education & Bar Admission: Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) or Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree; active member in good standing with a Canadian common law society (e.g., Law Society of Ontario).

  • Experience: 6 to 10+ years of post-call legal experience, with substantial in-house experience inside an insurance carrier or brokerage (P&C preferred) as a primary requirement. Blends rigorous foundational training at a top-tier law firm with hands-on domain expertise advising on insurance regulatory compliance, commercial distribution partnerships, policy wordings and coverage forms, and complex claims strategy.

  • Industry & Tech Knowledge: Deep familiarity with the Canadian insurance regulatory landscape, digital brokerage models, and MGA structures. Comfort advising on digital technology, online platforms, and advanced tools like AI.

  • Privacy Credentials: Demonstrated expertise in data protection law; a professional privacy certification (e.g., CIPP/C) is highly preferred and considered a significant asset.

  • The "Startup-to-Scaleup" Mindset: Proven ability to navigate a corporate transition from a "build fast" startup environment to a highly regulated, "steady-state" corporate structure. Ability to formalize corporate governance without stifling innovation.

  • Corporate Diplomacy & Influence: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate complex legal risks into solution-oriented business advice for non-legal stakeholders. Possess the "corporate diplomacy" required to speak the entrepreneurial language of a tech startup while satisfying the rigorous reporting demands of a Fortune 500 parent company.

The salary range for this role is $175,000 to $225,000, not including the annual discretionary bonus and any additional performance-based incentives.

The annual base salary range provided for this position is a nationwide market range and represents a broad range of salaries for this role across the country. The actual salary for this position will be determined by a number of factors, including the scope, complexity and location of the role; the skills, education, training, credentials and experience of the candidate; and other conditions of employment. As part of our comprehensive compensation and benefits program, employees may also be eligible for performance-based case incentive awards.

Why Zensurance?

  • The Best of Both Worlds: Experience the entrepreneurial spirit and speed of a tech disruptor combined with the stability, backing, and resources of a global insurance giant.

  • Direct Impact: As the second lawyer in the organization, your work will directly shape our corporate processes, legal frameworks, and scaling trajectory.

  • At the Forefront of Innovation: We don't just use tech; we build it. You will face cutting-edge legal issues involving AI and digital automation in the evolving Insurtech space.

AI Tools and Your Interview:
We know AI is a valuable tool, and you're welcome to use it to prepare for your interview. However, please don't use AI assistants during the live interview itself.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
