We are remote-first across Canada, meaning you have no mandatory obligation to come in-office unless you choose to do so - you decide what is best for you. Our offices are located in Toronto and Kelowna, with people distributed across the country. We do not intend on changing this remote-first status.

At Borrowell, one of our core values and firm beliefs is that diversity makes us better. If you're unsure about your qualifications for this position, we'd still encourage you to apply. We're looking for candidates who have experience, but know that not everyone's had a chance to demonstrate what they can do. What's most important is that you have a growth mindset and care about helping people with their finances - an area in their lives that causes a lot of stress.

Please note that due to the sensitive nature of the work we do, clearing a credit and criminal record check is a condition of employment.

Borrowell encourages applications from candidates with differing abilities. Please let us know if you require accommodation at any stage in the selection process.

Here at Borrowell, we stand in solidarity with Ukraine. We welcome all people making use of the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET) program to apply and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
