About the role

We're hiring a Staff Content Designer to be the voice of investing at Wealthsimple. The person who takes calendar spreads and margin calls and makes them make sense, without dumbing it down or drowning it with jargon. You’ll be embedded on product teams and partner closely with design, product, and engineering to build experiences that our clients love.

This isn't a polish-the-copy-at-the-end role. You'll be in the room shaping what we build and how to position our products — not just the final words on the screen.

What you'll do

• Write the hard stuff. Options, margin trading, predictions, perpetuals, futures — you'll write and rewrite the content so it all makes sense to a first-time investor and a seasoned trader.

• Work AI-first. From shipping your own code changes to prototyping and research — you’ll use AI to increase your impact in every part of the product lifecycle.

• Collaborate with product and design on key initiatives. You’ll work early and often with product and design to shape the product direction for big, challenging projects — not just tighten the copy once the decisions are already made.

• Make the team faster and better, not just yourself. Templates, patterns, content standards, workflows, and of course AI. You’ll find ways to automate processes to scale content while ensuring quality.

Skills you bring

• 7+ years in content design or UX writing at a senior or staff level.

• A learner’s mindset. You don't need a finance background but you have experience that demonstrates your willingness to go deep on something unfamiliar and become a subject matter expert.

• Experience working with AI to increase your impact or empower others.

• Experience developing content standards, or integrating product content best practices and guidelines into a design system.

• Ability to think strategically about content and design while also executing on the details at a tactical level.

• Ability to juggle multiple competing priorities and work quickly and decisively across different contexts. You know when to sweat the details and when to move quickly.

• Experience empowering others through mentorship, coaching, and sharing best practices + techniques.

• Ability to work with Marketing, Brand, Legal and Compliance teams to deliver unified and consistent messaging across all touch points.

• A great collaborator and listener who loves to work together to understand and solve client problems.

What to send us

• A portfolio with 3 or more case studies that shows how you used writing and design to improve the user experience and drive business outcomes.
