About the role
We’re looking for a Staff Product Manager to own Wealthsimple’s Connectivity Platform , spanning two critical areas:
Brokerage & Bank Linking: How clients securely and reliably connect external financial institutions to Wealthsimple.
Public API: How clients and partners securely access and use Wealthsimple financial data outside of Wealthsimple.
Together, these capabilities define how Wealthsimple connects to the broader financial ecosystem, and how every product team inside Wealthsimple builds on the external financial data that flows through it. This role will set the strategy for that platform and turn it into a reliable, scalable and differentiated capability for our clients, our product teams and our partners.
This is a platform role with a meaningful client experience surface. You’ll need to be equally comfortable thinking about APIs, data models and platform architecture as you are designing a client UX or deciding how Wealthsimple should work with an external provider.
About the team
The Brokerage & Bank Linking team builds the technology that lets clients link their outside bank and brokerage accounts to Wealthsimple. It owns the automated and manual linking experiences end to end, along with the three connectors behind them: Plaid, Flinks, and WST, our own in-house connector. That makes it one of the highest leverage surfaces in the company, and powers a growing set of experiences built by other product teams.
What you’ll own
Connectivity Strategy
Set the long term vision and strategy for how Wealthsimple connects with the broader financial ecosystem.
Define the capabilities we should build ourselves, where we should rely on partners, and where we can create differentiated client value.
Develop a roadmap that balances immediate product needs with investments in reusable platform capabilities.
Brokerage & Bank Linking
Own the end to end experience for connecting external bank and brokerage accounts to Wealthsimple — automated and manual, including how clients recover when an automated connection fails.
Improve connection success, reliability and coverage across institutions, and own the routing strategy that decides which connector handles which institution and flow.
Own the client experience, including institution selection, authentication, errors, recovery and connection management.
Drive reliability and AI Powered self-healing so connections detect and recover from failure without manual intervention.
Balance conversion against fraud exposure and operational load, making those tradeoffs deliberately with our risk and operations partners.
Develop the platform capabilities that allow Wealthsimple products to consume external financial data consistently.
Own relationships and product integrations with connectivity vendors such as Plaid and Flinks, and decide where our own connector should lead — including how much of the connector business Wealthsimple should be in long term and where it makes more sense to partner.
Requirements
- ·You’re a strong product thinker who can operate across platform infrastructure, external ecosystems and client experience. You likely have:
- ·Experience owning a platform, API, developer product or integrations platform, with a track record on metric-attached outcomes like conversion, success rate or reliability — not only feature delivery.
- ·Enough technical depth to work closely with engineers on APIs, authentication, data models, routing and platform architecture.
- ·Experience delivering through external vendors or partners whose roadmaps you don’t control, including making thoughtful build versus buy decisions and holding vendors accountable for product outcomes.
- ·Comfort treating reliability as product work — error taxonomies, failure recovery, observability, and the operational load a product creates.
Benefits
- ·📈 Long-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business
- ·🌴 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year
- ·✈️ 90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year
- ·👥 Employee resource groups, including Rainbow (2SLGBTQ), Women of WS, and Black at WS
