– Anticipate and manage risks with thoughtful, values-driven communication.
– Work with teams across Marketing, Regulatory, Government Affairs, Product, and Finance to tell Wealthsimple’s story in a way that sets us apart and strengthens our brand.
– Partner with our Employee Experience and Culture team to keep employees informed, aligned, and motivated—creating communication strategies that reinforce our culture of excellence.

What you’ll bring:

– 12+ years of communications experience, including 5+ years leading teams and managing agency budgets.
– Experience in fast-paced, high-visibility sectors like tech, fintech, or financial services, with a strong media network and a proven track record in managing national and international press.
– Excellent writing skills, with the ability to turn complex or regulated topics into clear, relatable content.
– Experience working with executives and boards, including preparing for investor or regulatory engagements.
