Business Development Representative

We are building something different at Quinn. Our team blends sharp thinking with genuine care, and we believe the best ideas come from open minds working together. If you are looking for meaningful work, collaborative people, and the space to grow, you are in the right place.

Group benefits in Calgary. Built on relationships. Backed by experience. At Quinn Advisory Group, we bring decades of industry expertise to every conversation. We understand the challenges businesses face across Canada, and we are here to make the process of choosing the right employee benefits and group insurance plans more manageable.

Our approach is thoughtful, flexible, and tailored to what matters most to you. Whether you are building a new plan or fine-tuning an existing one, we will work with you to create a personalized benefits solution that truly fits your business.

As a Business Development Representative, you will generate and qualify new business opportunities for Quinn Advisory Group’s Advisors through outbound prospecting, inbound lead follow-up, referrals, and qualifying conversations.
