Wealthsimple is Canada's leading financial innovator serving over 4 million Canadians with a full suite of financial products including managed investing, trading, cryptocurrency, tax filing, and spending/saving tools. The company holds over $155 billion in assets under administration. The Options Clearing team sits within Brokerage Operations and is responsible for executing on behalf of clients across billions of dollars daily. This role reports to the Senior Manager, Options Clearing and owns the full options life cycle—reconciliations, settlements, exercises, assignments, and expirations—ensuring every position matches what it should be.

Key responsibilities include using data—pivot tables, lookups, and SQL—to find the cause of inefficiencies and fix them; building and improving tools and workflows that let the team scale as options volume grows; and developing processes to increase back-office operations efficiency. This is precise, deadline-driven work where accuracy is non-negotiable because clients are trusting the company with their money. Wealthsimple offers top-tier health benefits and life insurance, long-term group savings with employer match, 20 vacation days plus 4 wellness days and unlimited sick/mental health days annually, and the ability to work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year. The company is hybrid with over 1,500 employees across North America.
