Who We Are
With every job, there’s always the question of “why”. Why join a company? Why be part of their mission? Here, the why is easy. It’s because at some point, we’ve all needed someone there for us.
At the OTIP Group of Companies (OGC), we believe that something special happens when employees feel valued for the work they do, supported as the people they are, and included in the very fabric of the organization: they bring their best to work every day.

Join us as we grow our way into a future that reimagines what it means to deliver meaningful benefits support and service.

- Tracking Success: Use Salesforce to track partner metrics and progress, helping us stay on top of key performance indicators and forecast future success.
- Planning & Quality Assurance: Regularly check in with partners to make sure their offers still align with our program’s goals, making adjustments as necessary. Help create actionable plans that align our business goals with the needs of our partners.
