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 Financial Risk team is responsible for protecting Wealthsimple and its clients from fraud while enabling safe, fast, and scalable money movement. You will own the Decision Platform — a real-time rules engine that processes streaming data to make fraud decisions across every major payment rail — as well as the tooling and automations that power fraud investigation workflows, transaction decisioning, account restrictions, and deposit holds.
As Senior Product Manager for Financial Risk, you will own a broad platform surface area spanning the streaming decision engine that blocks fraudulent withdrawals in milliseconds, the case management system that routes alerts to investigators, and the restriction and suspension frameworks that protect compromised accounts.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the product vision and strategy for the Financial Risk platform, balancing fraud prevention with client experience and making sharp tradeoffs between friction and protection
- Drive the roadmap for the Decision Platform, evaluating fraud risk across withdrawals, deposits, e-transfers, crypto transactions, and cheque deposits
- Build and improve fraud investigation tooling and automations including case management workflows, alert deduplication, and enrichment pipelines
- Define and evolve the restriction and mitigation framework enabling appropriate responses to fraud signals
- Operate as a platform PM, designing extensible APIs, decision schemas, and integration patterns for payment and money movement teams
- Partner deeply with Fraud and Data Science teams on fraud model integration and rule development
- Own key risk metrics including fraud loss rates, false positive rates, investigation cycle times, and decision latency
- Break down complex infrastructure projects into discrete phases that deliver incremental value
Requirements:
- 6-8+ years of product management experience with significant depth in fraud, risk, or trust & safety; demonstrated experience building fraud prevention systems, investigation tooling, or risk decisioning platforms
- Experience operating as a platform PM, building systems that other teams consume, with understanding of APIs, schemas, and extensibility
- Strong technical fluency in streaming architectures, workflow orchestration, and ML model integration; ability to reason about system design tradeoffs with engineering
- Comfort with breadth across real-time decisioning, investigation tooling, restrictions infrastructure, and regulatory reporting
- Data-driven decision making with ability to identify fraud patterns and measure intervention effectiveness
- Experience working with fraud operations teams, understanding investigation workflows, alert triage, and case management
- Shipping mentality: validate fraud rules through iteration rather than extended analysis
- Strong communication skills translating complex risk and platform concepts for engineering, operations, compliance, and executives
- Ability to work independently and bias toward action across a broad surface area
