About Sun Life
Sun Life's Canadian sales openings include seats that build the advisor force rather than sell to clients: business development partners in districts across Canada recruit, onboard and coach new career advisors through their first four years, a Toronto business development consultant does the same for experienced advisors, and a bilingual manager leads a team in the Advisor Development Program, with the partner and consultant roles needing a life licence, a mutual fund licence and the branch manager's exam. The other Canadian seats cover distribution: a Sun Life Global Investments wholesaler calling on full-service brokerage advisors in downtown Toronto with mutual funds, ETFs, managed accounts, segregated funds and payout annuities, a director running inside sales and business development managers for a regional advisor sales team, a Mandarin-speaking case manager helping advisors place affluent and high net worth life cases, and a Calgary account executive on a 14-month contract who keeps a block of group benefits clients and Prairie consultants profitable. A seat is inbound: a licensed consultant starting January 2027 takes transferred leads from members leaving a group plan and converts their health, dental, life or critical illness cover to an individual policy, with no cold calling. In the US, Sun Life sells group life, disability, dental, vision and supplemental health through brokers to employers with 10 to 50 staff, with its small business specialist based in Dallas/Fort Worth or Austin, and Hong Kong adds channel sellers for MPF through institutional distributors and for high net worth cover through brokers. Strategy, product, underwriting, IT and branch support roles in Canada, Hong Kong, Beijing and Manila sit beside them.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Sun Life
Stated by the company, checked 2026-11-07From our research: stated by the company, checked 7 Nov 2026
Read from its postings on 7 Nov 2026: Sun Life's Canadian postings print a base pay range under a salary heading, set for the primary location the job is posted in, and add that eligible staff join incentive plans whose payout is discretionary and turns on individual and company performance. Some advisor-recruiting seats, such as the Sherbrooke business development partner and the Toronto business development consultant, also state a starting salary beside a base plus variable incentive, so the number to negotiate is where you start, not only the band. The Hong Kong postings name no figure, offering an unstated salary with MPF, group life and group medical cover, and the Beijing and Manila postings give no pay either. Ask what the incentive plan is paid on (your own sales, your team's, or advisor recruiting and retention), how much of it has paid out in recent years, and whether a licensing deadline is tied to keeping the role. The roles listed below state what Sun Life posts now.
