Build something people love

Wealthsimple's mission is to help everyone achieve financial freedom – by making financial services simple, transparent, and low-cost. We're Canada's largest fintech, trusted by over 3 million clients with more than $100 billion in assets. We move fast, we own our work, and we care deeply about the people using our products. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

We're proud of what we've built — and we're just getting started. Read our Culture Manual and learn more about how we work.

About the BizOps team

Business Operations ("BizOps") plays a critical role in supporting and accelerating Wealthsimple’s strategic priorities. We partner with teams across the company to accelerate priority projects, incubate new products, processes, and business functions, lead the strategic planning process, and help shape AI transformation across Wealthsimple.

We're often the throughline across functions, helping teams move in the same direction on complex work that touches all of them. We work where the problem is hard, the path isn't obvious, and someone needs to bring structure and momentum to help implement the most efficient use of scarce company resources (people, capital, and time). If you love problem-solving, strategy, and execution, this is the team for you.

What you'll do:
  • Collaborate with BizOps leaders on high-priority projects across growth, customer experience, and product strategy.

  • Conduct primary and secondary research to develop informed perspectives and recommendations.

  • Leverage data to generate insights and drive meaningful business decisions.

  • Take ownership of discrete BizOps projects and engage with leadership to solve complex business problems.

  • Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, operations, and executive teams to drive strategic initiatives.

  • Adapt to challenges with a no-ego attitude, rolling up your sleeves to get things done.

  • Provide clear, well-supported recommendations based on rigorous problem-solving and analysis.

  • Contribute to building and shaping the BizOps function at Wealthsimple.

Skills you bring:
  • Relevant work experience: 2-4 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, startups, or strategic operations roles.

  • Problem-solving expertise: Ability to break down complex problems and develop pragmatic solutions.

  • Strong data & analytics skills: Comfortable managing and analyzing large datasets with a keen eye for detail. SQL proficiency is an asset.

  • AI curiosity & fluency: You use AI tools regularly in your work and have a baseline understanding of where they add value. More importantly, you're genuinely curious — eager to experiment with new tools, share what you learn, and grow alongside a team that's actively shaping how AI gets used across the org.

  • Collaboration mindset: Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work cross-functionally.

  • Bias for action: Ability to work independently, take initiative, and deliver results.

  • Clear communication: Able to simplify complex concepts for diverse audiences, including executives and technical teams.

  • Strong organization & planning skills: Proactive about structuring work, meeting deadlines, and keeping stakeholders informed.

  • Integrity & transparency: Committed to doing what's right, not just what's easy.

Technology & Innovation at Wealthsimple: We move quickly and build thoughtfully. That means we're always looking for better ways to work — whether that's new tools, AI, or rethinking how we approach a problem.

We also welcome any feedback on how we can better accommodate candidates with accessibility needs.

AI in Hiring: We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our team but don't replace human judgment – all final hiring decisions are made by people. If you have questions about how your data is used, reach out to us.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
