Senior Copywriter
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 team:
Who doesn’t love a good cross-functional team? As a Senior Copywriter at Wealthsimple, you’ll collaborate closely with UX designers, engineers, product marketers, producers, our legal team, and translators — all working together to make our website even better. You’ll be part of a talented (and seriously supportive) creative crew that includes copywriters, motion designers, photographers, producers, and more. We care about moving fast, but never at the expense of thoughtfulness. You’ll think deeply, write intentionally, and help bring meaningful work to life — together.
About the role:
You’ll write… a lot! From clever headlines and clear, engaging messages to alt tags that quietly make everything better, words will be your world. So it helps if you actually love writing, and bring a fun, playful vibe to the work you do. While your main focus will be Wealthsimple’s website, you’ll also get to dip into other projects — like lifecycle campaigns, in-app messages, and ads.. And if you’re new to the world of finance, don’t worry. You’ll pick it up fast, and soon you’ll be the one explaining financial products like it’s no big deal.
In this role you’ll, have the opportunity to:
-
- Bring Wealthsimple’s brand to the world with written communications that resonate. Nobody wants to read marketing copy — they want to read stuff that interests and engages them. That’s the stuff you’d be writing.
- Create work for multiple channels and platforms, with an understanding of the unique strengths and limitations of each.
- Distill complex ideas so that people not only understand them, but get excited by them. Play an active role in improving our team and company by providing regular feedback and participating in reviews.
What you’ll bring:
-
- Deep experience writing for consumer-facing brands on web in either an agency or in-house environment (and experience with finance and/or tech is a huge bonus)
- Relevant experience working cross-functionally with art directors, designers, product managers & marketers, project managers, and external partners
- Great organizational skills to keep your documents and projects in order (with the help of our amazing production team)
- The ability to switch from long-form to short-form copy for webpages, promotional copy, and a whole lot more
- A passion for simplifying complex ideas, and the ability to deliver great work on time, every time
- The initiative and confidence to bring fresh ideas to the table
- The discipline and focus to read bullet lists all the way to the end
