IMS wins prestigious awards, plans to double in size

R+T Park tenant recognized with multiple Product of the Year awards, plans to double their team in Waterloo by next year.

IMS (Insurance & Mobility Solutions), part of Trak Global Group (TGG) and one of the world’s top providers of connected car data solutions, recently announced that the company’s Carrot usage-based insurance (UBI) platform won TU-Automotive Awards for Insurance Product of the Year and Best Data Product of the Year.

The Insurance Product of the Year award recognizes an outstanding automotive digital insurance product, and the Best Data Product of the Year award recognizes an outstanding data product. Coming on the heels of this announcement, and alongside a recently extended partnership with Onlia, IMS has announced plans to effectively double the number of employees based out of its office in Waterloo by the end of 2021.

“As more insurers adopt usage-based insurance (UBI), incorporate telematics into claims transformation initiatives, and attitudes around car and alternative mobility usage change, our hiring push will ensure that IMS is poised to provide the technology solutions and services that are needed as the ‘new normal’ materializes post-COVID,” said Nino Tarantino, CEO of IMS (Americas) and leader of the Waterloo-based North American office.

IMS already employs many world-class software engineers, data scientists, and IoT experts, including students and alumni from the University of Waterloo, but their plans for growth and market leadership mean they continue to seek new talent. “We’re looking for people at the top of their game who can help us push technology boundaries and deliver outcomes that make mobility safer, smarter, and fairer for everybody,” said Tarantino.

IMS is hiring immediately for multiple positions, equivalent to approximately a 20 percent increase of its current global workforce or double the size of the current workforce based out of Waterloo. All of the positions are designated to be remote/work-from-home (WFH), and are largely focused on senior research and development (R&D) roles, such as:

• Software Developers
• Engineering Managers
• Product Owners
• Project Managers
• IT and Infrastructure

As IMS realizes growth from the recently launched IMS Connected Claims solution and the introduction of the Carrot UBI platform in the North American market, additional jobs are expected to be created local to the company’s North American headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario.
