The company offers a full suite of simple, sophisticated financial products across managed investing, do-it-yourself trading, cryptocurrency, tax filing, spending and saving. Wealthsimple currently serves more than 4 million Canadians and holds over $169 billion in assets under administration. The company was founded in 2014 by a team of financial experts and technology entrepreneurs, and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.\nWe're proud of what we've built - and we're just getting started. Read our Culture Manual and learn more about how we work.\nAbout the role\nAs Lead, Learning & Employee Experience, you own the experiences that shape how it feels to join, learn and grow at Wealthsimple: our onboarding and learning programs, and the employee events that bring Wealthsimplers together in person and remotely. You design, deliver and run all of it, end to end. This is a hands-on facilitation role reporting to our Senior Lead, Program Manager within People Operations, so you will be in front of a room regularly and often, and you will be exceptional at it. In your first 6-12 months, success looks like new hires getting productive faster, leaders ready to run a team well from their first quarter, and company-wide events that send people back to their teams more connected and clearer on what we’re building and why.\nAbout the team\nOur Employee Experience team sits within People Operations and owns the experiences that define life at Wealthsimple: new employee onboarding, learning and development, mandatory and compliance training, and the company-wide events that bring us together. We’re a small, high-autonomy team that partners closely with Talent Acquisition, People Systems, Communications, IT, Brand and departmental leaders across the business. We’re in a build-and-scale phase, modernizing how we deliver learning, automating the operational backbone of onboarding, and raising the standard for our employee events and experiences.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn new employee onboarding end to end. Design, deliver and run every cohort, from pre-boarding communications through to the live sessions, and build tailored paths with department leaders. Same for new leader, intern and returning-employee onboarding.\n\nFacilitate, regularly and often. You will lead live learning and onboarding sessions for groups of ten to sixty-plus, in person and remotely. This is core to the job, not an occasional add-on, so you need to love it and be great at it.\n\nDesign, develop and oversee our key employee events, delivered both in person and remotely and thinking about how these fit together in a cohesive way. You own the plan and the day: experience and agenda design, workback, budgets and vendors, executive briefings, communications, registration and production.\n\nBuild and run our learning programs. Design the curriculum, from leadership foundations to mandatory and compliance training, build it in our learning platform yourself, and own the logistics that keep it running.\n\nMeasure what you build and bring people with you. Create the feedback loops that show whether a program is working, and keep Talent, Communications, IT, Brand and senior leaders aligned so it lands. You ship, learn, and iterate - no program you own is ever delivered the same way twice.\n\nSkills you'll bring\n5+ years designing, delivering and running onboarding, learning or employee experience programs, owning them end to end rather than executing someone else’s design.\n\nDemonstrated excellence as a facilitator: you’ve led live sessions regularly for mixed and senior audiences, in person and remotely, and can speak to how you hold a room, adapt in the moment and land the outcome.\n\nHands-on experience planning and producing employee events from concept to delivery, covering experience design, budgets, vendors, communications and logistics, with real accountability for the result.\n\nInstructional design and curriculum-building experience: you can turn a business need into a program people actually learn from, and build it in a learning platform yourself.\n\nA data-driven approach: you build measurement in from the start and let feedback and metrics decide what changes. You use good judgement when leveraging AI tools to speed up content design, maintenance and program operations.\n\nNice to have\nHands-on experience building in a learning management system (Docebo or similar)\n\nExperience producing multi-day employee events for 200+ attendees\n\nFormal instructional design or facilitation training\n\nWho you are\nEnergized by a room. Facilitating is the part of your week you look forward to, and it shows.\n\nHigh agency. You see a gap and close it, and you’d rather ask forgiveness than permission.\n\nUnflappable on event day. Things go sideways, you solve them quietly, and the room never knows.\n\nDetail-obsessed about the operational backbone. You know a great experience is logistics done invisibly well.\n\nA builder, not a maintainer. You’d rather rebuild something properly than keep patching it.\n\nComfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities, and able to keep momentum without waiting to be told.\n\nHuman first. You genuinely care how it feels to be new, to be learning, or to be led.\n\nWhy Wealthsimple?\nTop-tier health benefits and life insurance\nLong-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business\n20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year*\n90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year*\nEmployee resource groups, including Rainbow (2SLGBTQ), Women of WS, and Black at WS\nWe are a hybrid team with over 1,500 employees across North America.

That means we're always looking for better ways to work - whether that's new tools, AI, or rethinking how we approach a problem. We don't expect you to have all the answers, but we do expect curiosity and a willingness to evolve alongside the products we're building.\nInclusion Statement: We're building products for a diverse world, and we need a diverse team to do it well.

We also welcome any feedback on how we can better accommodate candidates with accessibility needs.\nAI in Hiring: We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our team but don't replace human judgment - all final hiring decisions are made by people.
