About The Team

As a Product Designer on Growth, you'll turn ambitious ideas into meaningful experiences that move the business forward. More than 4 million Canadians trust Wealthsimple with their money. Your job is to grow that number by designing the experiences that turn clients into our biggest advocates.

You'll partner with Product, Engineering and Marketing to rethink our referral strategy, support our highest visibility campaigns, and lead 0 to 1 social features from the ground up. You'll help define and lead our entire growth domain, rethink how people discover and share Wealthsimple, and create experiences that make our products more valuable as our community grows. It's an opportunity to shape a brand new product area, move fast, and turn great ideas into measurable impact.

What You'll Do

• Build the loops that fuel growth. Design experiences that turn discovery into acquisition, engagement into advocacy, and happy clients into our strongest growth channel, driving new clients and net deposits.
• Help define Social at Wealthsimple. Explore and shape new ways for people to connect with their financial lives, from profiles and discovery to creators and sharing investing activity.
• Reinvent referrals. Rethink how people invite others to Wealthsimple, including seamless, real-world experiences like QR-based invites.
• Make big ideas tangible. Shape high-visibility campaigns like Monthly Millionaire and Match, creating experiences that reach millions of Canadians and give people a reason to engage.
• Experiment your way to impact. Prototype, launch, measure, learn, and iterate. Know when to double down, when to pivot, and when to move on.
• Own the experience end-to-end. Move fluidly from discovery and strategy to interaction design, polished visuals, and thoughtful micro-interactions.
• Shape what we build next. Partner closely with Product and Engineering to turn ambiguous problems into clear opportunities, influence roadmaps, and bring ambitious ideas to life.

Skills You Bring

• Growth design experience. You've designed consumer experiences across acquisition, activation, engagement, or retention, and can point to the impact your work made.
• An experimentation mindset. You're comfortable with A/B testing, funnels, and product metrics. You use data to sharpen your instincts, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions.
• A point of view on social. You're curious about what makes products engaging, shareable, and trustworthy, and understand how social experiences can create sustainable growth.
• Exceptional product craft. You bring strong UX and visual design skills, particularly in consumer mobile experiences, and care about the details that make a product feel intuitive and delightful.
• A bias for action. You're comfortable with ambiguity, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and would rather test a thoughtful idea than debate it endlessly.
• Strong collaboration skills. You communicate clearly, work naturally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing, and can bring others along with your thinking.
• Curiosity about money. You're interested in how people think about, interact with, and build wealth, and want to make that experience better.

Depending on your level

• Senior Product Designer: You've independently led high-impact growth initiatives from problem definition through launch and iteration, balancing strong craft with measurable outcomes.
• Staff Product Designer: You've led complex, ambiguous initiatives, established direction for new product areas, and influenced product strategy and roadmaps across teams.

Apply with a portfolio that shows:

• Growth experiences you've designed and the metrics they moved.
• How you navigate ambiguity, identify the right problem, and make design decisions.
• How you translate a strong product idea into an intuitive and polished experience.
• How you use AI. From shipping your own code changes to prototyping and research.

• Top-tier health benefits and life insurance
• Long-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business
• 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year*
• 90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year*
