At Wealthsimple, we’re on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom. Financial products and services can be confusing, opaque, and expensive. We make them simple, transparent, and affordable.
Our team is reimagining what it means to manage your money — and we’re growing. We’re looking for talented, collaborative people who love a fast-paced environment, enjoy building and shipping great work, and want to make an impact with groundbreaking ideas.
As part of our in-house creative team, you’ll answer briefs from across Wealthsimple’s entire product lineup to create smart, beautiful, effective marketing. We promise to challenge you to learn and grow every day. We promise we’ll have fun doing it, too. We value great ideas and big thinking, but we’ve got zero tolerance for great big egos.
