Careers

Only two weeks after I started working at Optimum, I had already participated in meetings with colleagues from Paris and Dallas, Texas. Optimum is without a doubt a subsidiary from Quebec with international mobility! What a great opportunity to be able to work with colleagues from various backgrounds and challenges, and to expand my network and expertise. A real window on the world!

From the onset, I have been welcomed into the underwriting team with open arms. My colleagues have been quick to offer tips and support as I learn my role and responsibilities. I have been amazed at the way this company takes care of its own. Managers and Directors lead from a position of trust and confidence in their team members and that makes a big difference. They truly value the opinion and the professional development of their team members. I’ve participated in several conferences, special projects and life insurance courses (LOMA), all with the full support of my management.

As a company that prides itself on “the strength of expertise,” I can surely attest to this throughout my longstanding career journey with Optimum. I am proud to be working with a team of dedicated, talented, and knowledgeable underwriting experts. This has allowed me ample opportunity to grow as a professional as well as an individual. Within the organization, I have always witnessed a collaborative culture and a management which is sincerely focused on the growth of its people.

At Optimum, I learned and evolved so much as an actuary. The diverse responsibilities, the accessibility and proximity of experienced resources and the close collaboration between employees and leaders on several files have greatly contributed to my professional development. I also had the opportunity to work during three years in France at Optimum Vie. This experience was rewarding both professionally and personally.

I appreciate my experience at Optimum, it is so enjoyable to work in a friendly and positive environment. Every day is an opportunity for me to learn and grow in my professional life. We have great conversations which facilitate knowledge and skills transfer internally.
