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 $40 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.
We’re building the world’s most human financial company, using technology to scale the value we provide to our clients, and people to add value where only humans can. Business development at Wealthsimple is about serving our clients and helping a generation of Canadians reach their financial goals.
Although many financial services companies are focused on growth, we have seen industry leading results when the Commercial team has worked closely with Growth marketing. Specifically the Business Development team will drive $3.5B in net deposits in 2024 and plan to double to $7B in net deposit growth in 2025.
Today the financial services industry is an oligopoly dominated by five big banks. They charge high fees, and provide poor service to clients with less than $3M in net worth. Additionally over $2T in assets are in the Wealth Management sector and a large portion of these assets are investing with high fees and poor returns. We believe that it is time for something different for Canadians.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
Lead and motivate a team of Business Development Representatives driving growth through outreach to new and existing clients
Own your team quota, metrics and performance optimizing for sales funnel conversion, speed to lead and pipeline management
Analyze reporting to uncover insights that will drive team performance optimization
Review calls and coach individual team members on their sales skills and workflows.
Share best practices across the team to foster collaboration and a supportive work environment
Advocate for the client and BDR experience by uncovering challenges and solutioning in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders across Product, Marketing and Sales
Work closely with Product and Marketing teams on “playtests” to uncover new learnings and channels for growth
Skills and experience we’re looking for:
Client-focused - Always put the client first
People Management - 2 years+ experience leading and driving results through B2B or B2C sales teams
Technology - comfortable leveraging Salesforce, Gong and Salesloft tooling
Analytical - comfortable uncovering bright spots and opportunities through data
Resourcefulness - demonstrated track record of persevering in the face of adversity
Adaptability - priorities and direction can evolve quickly. You should have a positive can-do attitude and be adaptable to evolving business goals
Goal-oriented - you should have experience (and be excited about!) working hard towards a goal
Strong communication - you should be comfortable writing persuasively and communicating at all levels with context
Self-starter - when you see a need, you address it
Bonus: Experience in a fast-paced start-up (ideally tech or finance) and completed IFIC or CSC
