Job Description:

The Role Prospr is Sun Life's digital front door for Canadians — startup velocity inside a Fortune 500. We're revolutionizing how Canadians access insurance and wealth solutions by building a platform that lets people buy products the way they want to: online in minutes or virtually via a team of trusted, licensed Advisors.

We're not playing it safe. We're building with AI and creating omnichannel experiences — at the speed customers now expect. You lead the squad. Your team's success is your success. Despite the growth of digital channels, many people still prefer a conversation with a trusted advisor when making important financial decisions. We don't believe the future is a choice between digital and human experiences. It's giving customers the flexibility to move seamlessly between both: starting independently online, getting advice at the right moment, and returning to self-service later without friction.

As Engineering Manager - Advisor Experience, you lead the squad that builds the advisor experiences, Salesforce integrations, business workflows, and internal capabilities supporting advisor-led and advisor-assisted sales processes. You're accountable for the squad's delivery, people development, and execution quality, balancing hands-on technical contribution with people leadership. You'll work closely with Product Directors, Advisors and sales stakeholders to drive business outcomes.

For candidates with these preferred skills, exceptions beyond the usual salary range below may be possible.

What You'll Do? • Lead sprint execution and delivery commitments with full accountability • Translate product requirements and sales workflows into clear, executable engineering work • Own the delivery of advisor experiences and Salesforce integrations that support advisor-led and advisor-assisted sales • Partner with Advisors, sales operations, and business stakeholders to improve internal workflows and capabilities • Directly manage developers—hiring, performance, growth, engagement, and career development • Enforce engineering standards and code quality within your squad • Stay technically credible—you code when needed and lead technical discussions • Build and maintain a healthy squad culture aligned with Accelerator principles • Remove blockers and manage dependencies with other squads, enterprise teams, and vendors • Own day-to-day delivery coordination with Product, Design, and other squads • Balance technical debt with feature delivery—you make the trade-offs • Operate with startup velocity—fast iterations, continuous deployment, data-driven decisions

What Success Looks Like? Your squad delivers predictably and at high velocity. Advisors and sales teams get tools and integrations that make their sales process faster and easier. Engineers are growing and engaged. Code quality is consistently high. The team collaborates well. Product and stakeholders trust your commitments. You're shipping features that drive business outcomes.

Who You Are? • Experienced engineer ready to lead people or current Engineering Manager from a product-focused tech company • Startup mindset—you know how to ship fast and iterate based on data • Comfortable balancing people management and hands-on technical work – you lead by setting the example • Strong at sprint planning, estimation, and execution in an Agile environment • Comfortable having tough conversations about performance, growth, and accountability • Detail-oriented without losing sight of business outcomes • Able to context-switch between code reviews, 1:1s, and stakeholder management • Protective of your team's time and focus while maintaining high throughput

What You Bring • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in an Engineering Manager (or equivalent team leadership) role • Experience leading a single squad/team end-to-end • Hands-on experience with CRM platforms (Salesforce preferred), including building and integrating CRM-based workflows • Strong knowledge of sales processes (e.g., lead management, pipeline stages, quoting, application, and advisor handoffs) • Hands-on expertise with Java, React (or similar modern JavaScript) and enterprise integrations • Demonstrated ability to run team-level execution and improve delivery predictability • Experience hiring, onboarding, and developing engineers • Technical credibility to guide design and implementation • Proven partnership with Product, Design, and business stakeholders

Why This Role? • High-Impact Work • Leadership Opportunity: help shape team structures, engineering practices, delivery processes, and how we measure success • Autonomy and Ownership • Learn and Grow Fast • Collaborative, Innovative Culture • Flexible Workstyle: In office 2–3 days per week, hybrid the rest of the week

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
