WHO IS RATEHUB?
We’re a company on a mission. We are a unique Canadian Fintech that is the one-stop shop for all financial needs of the consumer : Save, Spend, Borrow, Invest, and Protect. Every single team member — from Product & Engineering to Sales & Marketing, Finance, Operations, and everything in between — is obsessed with one thing : helping Canadians make better financial choices. And we’re pretty great at it, too. Via our digital application technology and our award‑winning in‑house brokerages, we help over 2 M Canadians per month make a positive impact on their finances. We have many unique businesses : a mortgage brokerage, a life insurance brokerage, a home and auto insurance brokerage, a mortgage originations and servicing business, a Financial Services Marketplace, and a content business across Ratehub and MoneySense. 365 days a year, we deliver our users the best online mortgage experience, personalized credit card and loan options, and cheaper auto and home insurance policies than they typically get from their existing financial adviser.
Changing how people make financial choices isn’t easy, though. We know that achieving our mission is full of challenges — challenges that can be complex and often unexpected but that are always interesting, rewarding, and fun to solve as a team. This is where you come in. We are on the hunt for the right candidate to join us and help lead us forward to continued growth.
