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 4 million users who trust us with more than $50 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.
About the Role
We’re building the world’s most human financial company, using technology to scale the value we provide to our clients, and people to add value where only humans can. Business development at Wealthsimple is about serving our clients and helping a generation of Canadians reach their financial goals.
The primary focus of the Manager, Corporate Business Development is to build an industry-leading sales experience (for our clients) and team that connects and builds trust with clients so they want to invest at Wealthsimple. This leader works in tight collaboration with Growth Marketing, Sales Operations, and Sales leadership to drive us to grow faster than any other financial service company in Canada.
Although many financial services companies are focused on growth, we have seen industry leading results when the Commercial team has worked closely with Growth marketing. Specifically the Business Development team drove $5B in net deposits in 2024 and plan to double to $10B in net deposit growth in 2025.
Today the financial services industry is an oligopoly dominated by five big banks. They charge high fees, and provide poor service to clients with less than $3M in net worth. Additionally over $2T in assets are in the Wealth Management sector and a large portion of these assets are investing with high fees and poor returns. We believe that it is time for something different for Canadians.
