About the team

The Corporate Actions team sits within Investing Operations, the group responsible for how Wealthsimple manages client positions across billions of dollars in assets. We own the full life cycle of corporate actions and dividends on client accounts — processing entitlements, elections, and payments, and reconciling every position so our records match what clients are owed. It's precise, deadline-driven work, and we take it seriously because clients are trusting us with their money.

About the role

Reporting to the Team Lead of Corporate Actions, you'll own the daily processing of corporate actions and dividends across client accounts. This work protects client assets directly, so accuracy isn't optional — you're the person who catches a reconciliation break before it becomes a client-facing problem, and who improves the processes that keep pace as the business grows.
