About Common Wealth
Common Wealth is Canada’s fastest growing group retirement provider. Our award-winning digital platform helps Canadians plan, save, and build secure retirement income. We partner with a nationwide network of advisors and employers, empowering them with modern tools and insights. We are driven by a mission to make financial security in retirement more accessible to everyone.

About the opportunity
We're at an exciting inflection point - we've grown to serve members across every Canadian province, and we're now building the features that will define the next generation of retirement planning. Our modern tech stack and clean data model give us advantages legacy providers can't match. You'll be working with a high-caliber team that holds the quality bar high while moving fast. We're outcomes-focused and client-centric - every feature we ship is designed to be guided, empathetic, straightforward, and trustworthy
Reporting to the Head of Product, you’ll have the opportunity to bring our product vision to life - a future where every Canadian can achieve financial security in retirement. Today, people working for small and mid-sized employers are left to build retirement savings on their own and this leads to inefficient savings and poor outcomes. You will work on cross functional teams to deliver a trusted, and comprehensive retirement offering that supports members from their first contribution to their last withdrawal. Your work will directly contribute to creating better retirement outcomes and a more inclusive financial future for all.
You’ll interact regularly with clients and stakeholders across the business – we use a continuous discovery model - to build product features that leverage our award-winning digital experience to drive key business metrics.
What you will do:
Own and evolve key areas of the member digital experience, improving retirement planning and forecasting tools, contribution set up and investment selection, and product-led growth initiatives
Develop deep empathy for Canadians saving for retirement through continuous discovery and regular interactions with clients and client facing teams
Build client confidence in their retirement plan and in Common Wealth through guided, empathetic, straightforward and trustworthy experiences
Define clear problems, outcomes, and success metrics across the full retirement journey—from a member’s first contribution to their last retirement paycheque
Partner closely with engineering and design to test, ship, and iterate on high-quality solutions
Collaborate cross functionally with financial planning, client service, sales, and external partners (e.g. group retirement advisors, investment managers, and annuity providers)
Identify thoughtful applications of AI
Contribute to a strong product culture focused on learning, efficiency, quality, and client impact
Who you are:

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with a client-centric mindset
Collaborative approach and comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
