What I'm looking for
I'm Elie Gigaud, a bilingual (French-English) administrative professional with over 5 years of experience in sales coordination, healthcare claims analysis, and digital project support. Currently based in Montreal, I work full-time at The Master Group, where I support the Sales Department with internal communications, reporting, scheduling, and process improvement. I also lead the Social Committee and act as a Health & Safety Ambassador, taking initiative in both employee engagement and workplace well-being.
Previously, I worked at Canada Life, where I handled medical and paramedical claims, validated health data, and supported the disability department during the COVID-19 pandemic. My background also includes research in public health and geography, with academic training in socio-territorial analysis and equity in healthcare access.
I’m passionate about clear communication, efficient systems, and collaborative environments. I’m currently seeking fully remote opportunities where I can continue to grow in areas like project coordination, data management, and digital operations. My long-term goal is to relocate to Asia while contributing to purpose-driven organizations on a global scale.
Outside of work, I’m curious about language learning, inclusive design, and how digital tools can empower community development.
