About The Position

The Business Banking team is one of our newest and most exciting teams. We are rethinking small business banking from the ground up to become the only place a Canadian entrepreneur would want to have their money. The team is responsible for building a business banking the Wealthsimple way - simple, transparent, and low-cost.

Requirements

• A multi-year track record of building and shipping products that customers love.

• Experience with small business and B2B products / services.
• A shipping mentality. We don't believe in spending forever analyzing and debating. The best way to validate something is to ship it — so let's ship it, learn, and iterate.

• A passion for financial inclusion and building products that increase access to financial freedom for everyone.
• Experience with AI tools and a strong POV on what AI tools are most effective for Product Managers.
• A systems thinker that can distill many use-cases into a simple, elegant, generic logical solution design.
• A strong technical partner who is comfortable working with engineering to translate a logical system design into a technical architecture design.
• Able to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity and adept at synthesizing actionable problems, insights, and requirements from raw, unstructured qualitative and quantitative data.
• A thoughtful, critical thinker who follows a systematic and rigorous approach to problem solving.
• Scrappy and comfortable flexing into different roles to support your team. For example: Business model and business case development, Workflow and operational process development, Negotiation with external vendors, regulatory bodies, and more, Project management
• An excellent communicator that can convey complex ideas succinctly and clearly.
• A naturally collaborative and empathetic leader; comfortable working with a diverse group of stakeholders, making sure every voice is heard.
• Passionate about creating simple and elegant user-experiences. You can’t help but critique the UX of the apps you use.
