Avant Insurance Brokers Ltd. Hiring for Autopac Client Service Representative at Winnipeg, MB Full Time

Avant Insurance was named for the French proposition meaning “Before”. For us, that means being there for our clients before the trouble happens, not just after. We will relentlessly pursue the right coverage, so that our clients are protected when disaster strikes.

We are locally owned and operated. This means we have no ownership or commitment to any Insurance Company, Bank or International Entity. This is becoming an extremely rare occurrence in the insurance marketplace. Being the sole owner, we have the ability to remain agile and pivot quickly to adjust to the changing world. We are able to make quick strategic decisions, while always keeping our clients’ & staffs’ best interest front and center.

Avant Insurance has been named to the Elite Brokers List twice, in 2014 and 2016 and we were nominated at the 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 Insurance Business Awards for top broker. We were also named to the 5 Star Brokerage List and were voted one of the Top Insurance Employers in 2021.
