Job description

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 Creative and Marketing Team

Wealthsimple is not your average financial tech company. We’re on a mission to make money simple, human, and smart. But here’s the thing—money doesn't have to be boring. In fact, we think it should be exciting, creative, and, dare we say, even fun. Our team of talented designers, art directors, producers, writers and editors bring that magic into everything we do. We’re looking for a dynamic Creative Assistant to help keep things running smoothly and support our creative team.

About the Role

In this role, you will support our Chief Content Officer, ensuring their focus remains on driving creative vision while you manage the complexities of their day-to-day.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity and brings a blend of organizational, operational and creative enablement experience.

As a Creative Assistant, you will:

• Proactively manage our Creative leader's calendar, ensuring seamless transitions between meetings and projects, while prioritizing high-impact activities.
• Coordinate and attend creative team meetings, creating comprehensive agendas based on discussion points and producing detailed follow up notes to ensure clear communication, actionable outcomes and efficient workflows within the creative team.
• Assist with project management by overseeing deadlines, budgets, and resources to ensure projects are delivered on time and within scope.
• Help prepare materials for internal and external presentations, reports, and creative reviews.
• Handle administrative tasks, including organizing documents, project plans, and tracking project deadlines to maintain organization and efficiency.
• Manage financial tasks, including processing invoices, expenses, and payments, as well as tracking budgets.
• Book travel arrangements as needed.

What You Bring:

• Experience: You’ve been in the game for 5-7 years supporting creative teams (design, art direction, production, writing, editorial) in a fast-paced environment, bonus points if you’ve worked in an agency or high-growth company.
• Organizational Mastery: Impeccable organizational and time-management skills, with a proven ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Tech Savvy: You’ve got advanced proficiency in the usual tools (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, etc.) and are no stranger to project management software like Asana or Trello. Bonus points if you know your way around creative software (Figma, Adobe).
• Communication: You’re a clear communicator (you know how to make sure no one’s left hanging).
• You’re a go-getter, a multitasker, and a true team player. You’re resourceful, proactive, and have the emotional intelligence to know when to step up and when to take a step back.
