Director, Analytics & Insights

Every day at Securian Canada means a day spent helping Canadians and their families build secure tomorrows. We’re agile and innovative, and we aren't afraid to challenge and create, or bring diverse perspectives to our work.

Who we need

As our Director, Analytics & Insights, you'll help shape how data drives decisions across Securian Canada.

We're looking for a leader who sees beyond dashboards and reports. Someone who is energized by complex business challenges, naturally curious about what drives performance, and passionate about transforming data into meaningful business outcomes. You'll play a pivotal role in building and evolving an enterprise analytics capability that empowers leaders with trusted insights, scalable analytics products, modern business intelligence, and practical AI-enabled solutions.

Reporting to the AVP, Data Solutions, you'll lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for Analytics & Insights, Business Intelligence, and Analytics Engineering. Working across business and technology teams, you'll help create a shared understanding of customers, products, markets, financial performance, and organizational priorities, enabling smarter decisions at every level of the organization.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on leadership. You'll influence enterprise priorities, guide complex analytical initiatives, challenge assumptions, and help leaders translate insights into action.

The leader we're looking for combines strong business judgment with technical depth. You start with the decision that needs to be made, not the tool that will be used. You understand that data and analytics are strategic business assets and know how to balance immediate business needs with scalable enterprise solutions. You're pragmatic, collaborative, governance-minded, and skilled at translating complex analytical concepts into compelling business narratives that drive action.

Most importantly, you're passionate about building high-performing teams, developing talent, fostering collaboration, and creating an environment where people can do their best work while making a meaningful impact.

At Securian Canada, analytics is about more than understanding what happened. It's about helping people make better decisions that support our mission of helping Canadians and their families build secure tomorrows. You'll join a team of talented professionals who are committed to innovation, continuous improvement, and creating solutions that make a real difference across our business.
