About The Position

In this role, your passion for financial planning will be central as you guide clients through their entire financial journey. You will go beyond simply answering questions, instead curiously exploring the "why" behind each client's goals to build holistic investment, tax, and retirement strategies. Your success will come from translating this deep discovery into clear, strategic advice that encourages clients to take confident, informed action. You'll use your exceptional communication skills to demonstrate the deep value of financial planning, building the trust required to drive asset consolidation to Wealthsimple Wealth Management.

• A genuine passion for financial planning and a client-focused, empathetic approach that allows you to build trust through active listening and thoughtful, transparent advice.
• The natural curiosity to dig deeper; you don’t just answer financial questions, you seek to understand the motivations and long-term aspirations behind them to solve for the client's bigger picture.
• Exceptional communication skills that make complex financial topics simple for clients, paired with a comfort leveraging digital tools (such as AI) and technology to enhance the client experience.
