Managing Partner (Franchise Opportunity) at Billyard Insurance Group Inc. — NeverHard

Billyard Insurance Group is coming to the Friendly City, and we're looking for the right person to lead it. From the heritage storefronts along Dundas Street to the families putting down roots in the newer neighbourhoods off Norwich Avenue, people here are loyal to businesses that show up for them. They buy homes here, run farms and manufacturing operations here, and they want an insurance broker who actually knows them. That's exactly what BIG Woodstock will be. As the Managing Partner of BIG Woodstock, you won't just be opening an office, you'll be becoming part of the fabric of Oxford County. You'll serve the families enjoying Southside Park and Pittock Conservation Area, support the entrepreneurs and tradespeople who keep this city's economy moving, and build the kind of client relationships that Woodstock people are known for valuing. In a market anchored by Toyota, a thriving agricultural sector, and a growing population of families choosing this city over the GTA, the opportunity is real and it's ready. What does a BIG Managing Partner do? You're the owner-operator of your branch. You lead your team, grow your book, and build something that's genuinely yours, with the full infrastructure of a national brokerage behind you. Build your branch: Recruit and lead a team of brokers rooted in the Woodstock and broader Oxford County market, setting the culture and pace for your operation. Drive new business: Grow your client base through referral networks, community relationships, and your team's sales activity, in a city that's growing steadily and flying under most brokerages' radar. Leverage exclusive market access: Offer your clients more options with access to 40+ insurance providers across personal, commercial, life, and travel lines. Use best-in-class technology: Operate with BIG's proprietary AI-driven underwriting and analytics platform, built to make quoting faster, smarter, and more competitive. Deliver an exceptional client experience: Build a team that recognizes that client experience is everything. Own your financials: Manage your branch's performance and drive profitability with the support of BIG's operational and financial frameworks. Represent the brand: Become a trusted, client-first insurance leader in Woodstock, backed by one of Canada's fastest-growing brokerages. Stay ahead: Access BIG U training, internal underwriting expertise, and the collective knowledge of 100+ Managing Partners across the country. Does this sound like you? You're an experienced insurance professional who knows this market. Maybe you've spent years building a book across Oxford County, or you're a producer in London or the surrounding area who's been watching Woodstock grow and knows the timing is right.
