Why work with us? With a healthy 25+ year history in North America, we are at an exciting stage of growth as a business. There is palpable energy and momentum across the company that is easy to tap into and be inspired by. The people around you are welcoming and go out of their way to make their support known.

Flexibility and life work balance is important. The role allows working from home several days per week. There is a requirement to be in the office 2 days a week depending on clients’ needs. Initially (first couple of months) it may be necessary to be the office more frequently to train and understand our processes.

MGAC is founded on an entrepreneurial culture, and you will be encouraged to embrace new ways of doing things, to deliver outcomes and positive experiences that regularly exceed client expectations.

We are a global company, yet we are committed to remaining nimble enough to provide our clients and employees with a level of care that our bigger competitors struggle to achieve.

We support your wellness and promote a healthy blend of work/ life balance. We encourage you to take that PTO and offer cutting edge benefits. Top-notch free mental health support services are just the latest to be added to an incredible lineup.

And last but not least...we're fun. At least we think so.:-D. There isn't a day that goes by where there isn't deep belly laughter heard in the hallways.

We believe employers should empower the whole person, not just the “employee.” Our benefit structure is designed to support all five pillars of overall wellness: Financial, Physical, Emotional, Social, and Professional.
