Assistant Vice President, Cyber & Technology

About The Role

 

The Assistant Vice President (AVP), Cyber & Technology will support the placement and advisory services for HUB’s Ontario Complex Risks team, with a primary focus on cyber insurance and a complementary focus on Technology and Errors & Omissions (Tech E&O) and related professional liability exposures. The AVP structures cyber programs for complex and emerging risks across a broad range of Canadian industries, addressing first-party exposures such as ransomware and cyber extortion, business interruption, and data restoration, as well as third-party privacy and network security liability.

This role is ideal for a technically strong broker with experience structuring cyber and Tech E&O programs for complex risks within the Canadian market. The AVP will work closely with clients and insurers to design coverage solutions that address evolving cyber threats, privacy and regulatory exposures (including mandatory breach reporting under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation), network security and media liability, and technology-related professional liability.

What You’ll Do

• Advise clients on cyber and technology risk exposures, including ransomware and cyber extortion, business interruption, data breach and privacy liability, network security liability, and technology errors & omissions.

• Structure and place cyber and Tech E&O programs for complex and emerging risks across a range of Canadian industries, including technology, healthcare, financial services, retail, and the public sector.

• Analyze client contracts, vendor agreements, and cyber risk posture to identify exposures, insurance requirements, and risk transfer obligations.

• Collaborate with domestic and international insurers to negotiate policy wording, endorsements, and coverage enhancements addressing cyber and technology liability risks.

• Develop placement strategies across the Canadian, London, and other international markets for complex and hard-to-place cyber and technology risks.

• Maintain strong relationships with insurers specializing in cyber, technology, and professional liability.

• Support clients before and during cyber incidents, coordinating with breach response and incident-response partners and ensuring coverage aligns with evolving threats and regulatory requirements.

• Participate in new business opportunities and contribute to client education around cyber risk, threat trends, and the evolving Canadian regulatory landscape.

What You’ll Need for Success

• Typically, 10+ years of experience in cyber and technology broking, placement, or underwriting, ideally within a commercial or specialty brokerage environment.

• Strong knowledge of cyber and technology exposures, including ransomware and cyber extortion, business interruption, data breach and privacy liability, network security liability, technology errors & omissions, and other emerging risks.

• Demonstrated ability to engage credibly with senior client stakeholders and insurers in a consultative manner.

• Familiarity with the Canadian cyber and technology insurance landscape, including carrier appetites, evolving policy wordings, and the regulatory environment — including mandatory breach reporting under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation — affecting complex risks.

• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication abilities;

• Ability to analyze risk exposures, coverage options, and market dynamics to develop optimal client solutions.

• Works well in cross-functional teams and comfortable engaging across internal departments such as legal, claims, and risk consulting.
