Financial services firm scaling advisor recruitment and AI-driven compliance
Sun Life Québec is a public financial-services company operating across insurance and investment products. The hiring surge (74 roles in 30 days, accelerating) skews heavily toward healthcare (24 roles) and sales (14), with active projects around advisor recruitment and retention — a direct response to their stated pain of recruiting and training advisors. Tech stack reveals a traditional enterprise foundation (Windows, Office, AWS, Jenkins) alongside emerging AI capability (LangChain, TensorFlow, transformers for compliance tooling and LLMOps infrastructure), suggesting a cautious but deliberate move into automation for regulatory and operational workflows.
Notable leadership hires: regional sales director, Change Management Director, Broker Operations Director
