Job Description

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 $100 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 role:
Promotions and incentive campaigns are key drivers of Wealthsimple's growth-fuelling new user acquisition and encouraging clients to consolidate more assets with us. These initiatives move quickly and rely on tight collaboration across Growth, Product, Engineering, Operations, and Data. The Data team plays a critical role in building the backend systems that power promotions, as well as providing the analytics needed to deploy marketing spend effectively. In this role, you'll work closely with both technical and business leaders on some of our highest-priority initiatives.
We're hiring an experienced, hands-on Analytics Engineering leader to join our Growth Data leadership team. You will lead efforts to improve and scale our promotion architecture, optimize data infrastructure, enhance analytical models, and enable data-driven decision-making across the organization. We're looking for someone with deep analytics expertise, a strong leadership track record, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable business strategies. Above all, you bring a maker-owner mindset-prioritizing what's best for the business, thriving in ambiguity, and finding creative solutions in resource-constrained environments.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Build and scale multi-billion dollar promotions in collaboration with the marketing team.
• Manage the partnership with our Product and Engineering teams to support works across some of Wealthsimple's highest priority efforts.
• Lead a best-in-class team of data scientists and analytics developers and grow each individual.
• Build robust, efficient, and integrated data models in cloud data warehouse that will be used as the source of truth for analytics across the Investing product organization.
• Set organizational standards and influence our data science and engineering culture.
• Apply software engineering best practices like version control and continuous integration to the analytics code base; ensure data models are well tested, documented and maintained.
• Translate business requirements into data models and analysis that will help stakeholders answer key business questions and inform strategic decisions.
• Continuously look for the simplest, most effective way to approach challenges; Occam's razor is your friend.
• Take ownership and ship it.
• Empower the team by leveraging their diverse educational backgrounds.
• Work where you are (while our Canadian offices are located in Toronto, we are a remote-first workforce and you can join from anywhere in Canada!)

Requirements:

• Proven experience leading data teams and a proven dedication to helping your teams and others grow.
• Strong business acumen and product sense and ability to help drive strategic vision.
• Excellent Python & SQL skills.
• Deep expertise in data warehouse architecture and advanced data modeling principles.
• A proven track record in designing and implementing robust data pipelines and complex data transformations.
• Is able to articulate their stance in a manner that effectively collaborates with different stakeholders.
• Thrives in a multi-faceted environment that involves ongoing alignment and coordination.
• Adjusts quickly to changing priorities and effectively manages complexity and change.
• Can coach people in their current roles to improve performance and prepare them for future roles.
• In addition to leading, a willingness to roll up their sleeves to tackle challenging technical problems.
• Has exceptional communication skills and is able to communicate effectively to both technical and non-technical teams.
• Plans, organizes, schedules, and budgets in an efficient, productive manner.
• Is eager to teach and learn from your team. We value making each other successful!
• Is a lifelong learner. You're constantly seeking and welcoming feedback to continue improving yourself and your craft.
