About the team:

At Wealthsimple, design is a competitive advantage and essential to achieving our mission of helping Canadians reach financial freedom. We are also client-obsessed - our empathy for our clients sets the bar really high for the products and experiences we create.

The Portfolios team is responsible for Wealthsimple’s managed investing experience—a fully automated way to grow your money that’s designed to help clients achieve their financial goals. From saving for retirement to building long-term wealth, Portfolios gives clients access to expertly designed investment strategies, low fees, and personalized advice, all through a modern digital experience.

We serve a broad range of clients—from those transferring investments from traditional institutions to those just getting started. Today, hundreds of thousands of Canadians trust Wealthsimple to manage their investments, and we’re constantly evolving our experience to better serve their needs. This team plays a critical role in how we attract, engage, and retain clients, helping them feel confident in their financial future with a product that’s simple, smart, and built to perform.


In this role you’ll have the opportunity to:
  • Lead and grow a high-performing team of product and content designers focused on building a world-class investing experience.
  • Define and drive the design strategy in partnership with Product, Engineering, and our in-house Portfolio Managers—grounded in client needs, business goals, and market opportunity.
  • Champion craft and storytelling, raising the bar for UX, visual design, motion, and interaction across surfaces.
  • Bring clarity to complexity, simplifying financial concepts and guiding users through their investing journey with confidence.
  • Coach and develop designers through regular feedback, mentorship, and opportunities to grow their impact.
  • Use research, data, and direct client insights to continuously improve how we communicate performance, risk, advice, and long-term value.
  • Scale and resource your team to meet the needs of a growing business and client base.

    • What You'll Bring:
  • Deep experience leading product design teams at scale—bonus if it’s in investing, fintech, or a regulated space.
  • Strong strategic and product thinking—you can shape vision, prioritize ruthlessly, and partner across disciplines to make it happen.
  • Exceptional craft in interaction and visual design, with a portfolio of polished and effective consumer-facing work.
  • Comfortable leading through ambiguity, and knows how to build alignment and momentum in a cross-functional environment.
  • Passionate about making investing more accessible, transparent, and rewarding for everyone.

    • Why join us?
  • A high-impact leadership role shaping a core pillar of Wealthsimple’s business and growth.
  • The opportunity to build products that help Canadians achieve financial freedom.
  • A collaborative, cross-functional environment where design is seen as a key driver of success.
  • A culture that values simplicity, craft, and thoughtful execution.
