  • Strong understanding of how design, product and engineering can work together to ship high-quality experiences quickly and at scale.
  • Can effectively communicate ideas and project direction to internal teams and stakeholders.
  • Experience generating user insight by shaping and leading research studies.
  • The ability to work independently, biasing towards action to drive projects forward.
  • A deep personal interest and passion for personal finance and how we might build simpler, more accessible services for everyone.

  • If you’re excited to be part of Wealthsimple's mission, please apply with your resume and a portfolio that demonstrate:
