Staff Content Designer (16 job at Wealthsimple

Your career is an investment that grows over time!

Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by reimagining what it means to manage your money. Using smart technology, we take financial services that are often confusing, opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada, with over 3 million users who trust us with more than $20 billion in assets.

Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.

About the Team

We're a close-knit UX team made up of Product and Content Designers. Product Designers are embedded on product teams so that we can be involved with projects from the get-go, but work really closely with other disciplines at every stage of the process. Content Designers are critical enablers that empower teams to create great content for our product suite, while also contributing directly on key initiatives. But what unites us all is our empathy for our users and a desire to set a really high bar for the products and experiences we create.

In this role, you will:

Improve the user experience by understanding our client’s needs, deciding what information to show them to help them to support their goals, organizing information in an intuitive way, and guiding teams to write final UI copy that is clear and easy to understand.
Enable the design and product team to write high-quality product content in a consistent voice and tone by developing guidelines and templates, creating processes or workflows, and mentoring and teaching content design skills.
Work with key product teams to develop content strategy and write content for our most impactful and ambiguous initiatives.
Build strong partnership with Brand & Editorial teams to deliver a unified voice & tone across all touchpoints.
Partner with the design systems team to contribute content guidelines and best practices to our Design System.
Collaborate closely with our localization specialist to support our French-speaking clients

We’re looking for someone who:

Has leadership experience in content design – either from leading content design teams, or by establishing a content design practice.
Has experience developing content standards, or integrating product content best practices and guidelines into a design system.
Can bring clarity and humanity to intimidating financial language.
Can think strategically about content and design while also executing on the details at a tactical level.
Can juggle multiple competing priorities and work quickly and decisively across different contexts.
Can empower others through mentorship, coaching, and sharing best practices + techniques.
Can work with Marketing and Brand teams to deliver a unified and consistent voice and tone across all touch points.
Is a great collaborator and listener who loves to work together to understand and solve client problems.
Is interested in personal finance and investing, and is excited to help introduce these ideas to others.
