Client Experience Operations is responsible for how Wealthsimple shows up for its clients every single day. We handle the real interactions, email, live chat, and phone, and the moments that decide whether someone trusts us with their financial life. Our north star is simple: fast, frictionless, reliable support that delights the people we serve.

Wealthsimple is growing quickly, and more Canadians start using our platform every day. As we grow, were working just as hard to make support less necessary. We fix the root causes of common problems and build better self-serve tools, including AI, so clients can sort out simple things on their own. That frees our team to focus on the conversations where a person makes the biggest difference.

About the role

When something isnt working the way a client expected, youre the person who makes it right. Youll help clients over live chat, live calls, and email, taking on questions and problems that need real thought, not a script. Some days that means untangling something complicated; other days it means calming someone down and walking them through it step by step. Its demanding, structured work, and it takes good judgement, emotional intelligence, and the ownership to see each case through. Done well, its one of the most important jobs at Wealthsimple.

What youll do

• Spend your workday helping clients over live chat, live call, and email, handling a steady flow of conversations from start to finish.

• Help with the things clients care about most, from quick questions to complex issues with their investments or banking.

• Listen closely, put yourself in the clients shoes, and communicate with the clarity, warmth, and care that clients should expect every time they talk to Wealthsimple.

• Own every case you take on: Dig into whats really going wrong, track down the answer even when its a situation you havent seen before, and follow up so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Work to a set schedule and meet clear targets for quality, productivity, and schedule adherence. These are a core part of how success is measured in this role.

• Build deep knowledge of Wealthsimples products and the financial concepts behind them, and keep learning as they change.

• Use coaching and quality feedback to keep sharpening your craft.

Skills you bring

• Experience serving customers or clients, in tech, hospitality, retail, financial services, or another field.

• Sound judgement and the ability to make good calls quickly, even when the answer isnt obvious.

• Strong emotional intelligence, including reading people well and staying composed when theyre upset.

• Clear, warm written and spoken communication in English.

• The resourcefulness and determination to find answers on your own.

• Fast, accurate typing and the agility to move quickly between several tools and systems without losing focus on the client.

• Comfort working to a set schedule and measurable targets.

Nice to have

• 1–2 years of experience in financial services

• Fluency in both English and French

Who you are

You take ownership. When a client brings you a problem, it becomes your problem until its solved. You dont pass it along and hope for the best. Youre curious about how things work, and resourceful when the answer isnt right in front of you. You care about the people youre helping, and it shows: you can tell when someone is anxious about their money, and you know how to steady the conversation. And you have the determination to do this well day after day, even when the queue is busy and the problems are tough.

You dont need a background in finance. People coming from tech, hospitality, or retail often bring exactly the skills this job needs. What matters most is curiosity, resourcefulness, a habit of solving problems yourself, and real care for clients.

How youll get started

Youll learn what you need to know once youre here. Our onboarding is designed so that anyone with the right skills can succeed, whatever background theyre coming from.

Youll start with an education in Wealthsimple: our products, our clients, and the principles and standards behind how we serve them. Youll learn a little about everything we do. Then youll put that learning into practice, helping real clients in a live, supported setting while you build your confidence. Once youre ready, youll move into a specific area of our support team and specialize, going deeper and building mastery in one part of the business.

Growth beyond that is possible, and some people go on to other roles at Wealthsimple. It isnt automatic, though. Its earned by doing this job well and owning your own development.

• Health Spending Account: $3,000/year. A flexible, tax-free account funded by Wealthsimple to cover your medical, dental, vision care expenses, and more.
