We're proud of what we've built — and we're just getting started. Read our [Culture Manual](https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/culture) and learn more about [how we work](https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/careers).

### **The Role**

This is the first role of its kind at Wealthsimple. As our Estate Planning Specialist, you'll build the foundation of how we review and optimize estate plans for our Wealth Management clients — an area that many HNW clients fail to properly address, even when the rest of their financial plan is sound.

You'll join a growing specialist bench that already includes our Tax Planning team and our Family Enterprise Advisor. Like those functions, your job isn't to draft legal documents or sell products — it's to review clients' existing wills, trust documents, and broader estate plans, identify where they no longer align with (or never accounted for) the client's actual goals, and clearly explain in plain language what needs to change and who can help make that happen.

This is not a sales role and will not be selling insurance, or anything else. Your job is to advocate for the client's best interests — identifying gaps and misalignments, and connecting clients to the right resource to solve them, whether that's our estate lawyer referral network, our documentation-drafting partners.

As the newest Specialist to the team, you won't just be executing an established process — you'll be responsible for helping design and build the estate review and planning process itself, in partnership with the Wealth Management leadership team. Naive ambition is one of our core values, and this role is a chance to define, from scratch, what great estate planning support looks like for HNW clients in Canada.

This position is fully salaried, with no commission structure or sales targets.

### **What You'll Do**

- Review clients' existing wills, trust documents, and broader estate plans to assess whether their current form and structure will actually accomplish the client's goals

- Clearly identify and articulate, in plain language, where an estate plan is misaligned with a client's goals — and what specifically needs to change

- Lay out the concrete next steps a client needs to take, and connect them to the right resource to take them — whether that's a referral to our estate lawyer network for will or trust drafting, a partner such as Willful, or another appropriate solution

- Apply a deep understanding of trusts to identify planning opportunities and gaps across complex, multi-entity estates

- Review existing insurance policies as one input into the overall estate plan — assessing how a policy does or doesn't support the client's estate goals

- Act as the internal liaison to our Advisor team, supporting them on complex estate planning cases and client conversations where they need additional expertise

- Support client-facing conversations on sophisticated estate planning questions, in partnership with the client's advisor

- Help design and build Wealthsimple's estate review and planning process from the ground up, as the first person in this role — including how it integrates with our existing tax and family enterprise offerings

- Bring an AI-native mindset to the role — using AI tools to review documents faster, model scenarios, and raise the bar on what the team can deliver

### **What You Bring**

- 5+ years of experience in estate planning, trusts and estates law, or a related wealth management advisory function

- A legal background, with hands-on experience reviewing or drafting wills, trusts, and related estate documents

- TEP designation strongly preferred

- Deep, demonstrated understanding of trusts — structures, taxation, and use cases across complex estates

- A solid working understanding of insurance policies and how to read them, with the ability to assess their role in an estate plan — note that this is not an insurance sales or advisory role

- Proven experience identifying gaps in existing estate plans and translating them into clear, actionable next steps for clients

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal and estate concepts clearly to both advisors and clients

- Comfort operating without an established playbook — you'll be helping build the process, not just following one

- A client-first mentality in everything you do

- An AI-native mindset and enthusiasm for using AI tools to move faster and work smarter

- Bilingual (English/French) capability is a significant asset

### **Why You'll Love Working Here**

- The rare opportunity to build a brand-new function from the ground up, not just fill an existing seat

- A purpose-driven role focused on client outcomes, not sales targets — you'll never be asked to sell a product

- The chance to challenge industry norms and put clients first, for real

- A fast-moving, ambitious team that isn't satisfied with the status quo

- Access to cutting-edge fintech tools and an AI-forward way of working

- Career growth in a rapidly expanding company, with the chance to shape a team as it scales

- Competitive salary and benefits package

- Be part of revolutionizing how estate planning is delivered as part of wealth management in Canada
