Wealthsimple Operations Associates own and scale processes intelligently, with analytics, grit, and grace. We manage billions of dollars, so the stakes are high. We want to deliver extraordinary experiences that meet our clients' on-demand expectations, while being a compliance leader. At Wealthsimple, we are maker-owners — we believe that simple is better, and we do what's right for each client.

Operations is the team that makes everything run. We own the systems, processes, and day-to-day execution that keep Wealthsimple functioning at scale — across trading, client support, compliance, and beyond. Within Operations, the Securities Lending Operations team works directly with the Trading Desk and other Operations Associates to manage daily lending activity, settlement, and counter party relationships. We're a high-ownership team that works closely with Product, Finance, and the business to close gaps, reduce friction, and build for scale.
