Canada Full Time
Your career is an investment that grows over time!

Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by reimagining what it means to manage your money. Using smart technology, we take financial services that are often confusing, opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada, with over 3+ million users who trust us with more than $100 billion in assets.

Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.

The Finance and Market Risk Data Science teams are a dynamic group of data scientists and analytics developers responsible for delivering high-quality financial metrics and advanced analytics. These teams play a critical role in supporting brokerage risk, advanced trading products and key decisions related to financial planning, treasury operations, and liquidity management at Wealthsimple. You will have the opportunity to lead and manage both teams and make a significant impact. 

The Market Risk team was built from the ground up to establish a Brokerage Market Risk function, evolving brokerage risk management to support growth and resource optimization for products like margin and options. Now, with a solid foundation, there's a unique chance to scale these initiatives, applying data-driven approaches to optimize financial resources and enhance risk management across an increasingly complex client offering. 

The Finance team is crucial to deliver data quality, accessibility, and efficiency within the finance data mart, enabling Wealthsimple to confidently grow. You will also lead capital efficiency initiatives, ensuring collateral, liquidity, and assets are optimally managed. This role offers extensive collaboration with various teams, including Options Clearing, Cash & Collateral Management, and Margin Supervision.
