At Neo, we’re on a mission to build a more rewarding financial future for all Canadians. Life at a rapidly expanding tech startup isn’t for everyone. It’s complex, fast-paced, high-pressure, but also incredibly fulfilling. Since its founding in 2019, Neo has gained incredible traction and is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in Canada.

The Role

Our platform handles millions of transactions and interactions a day, from real-time credit approvals to fraud protection to merchant settlement. These systems are deeply technical and tightly coupled with customer experience.

The right PM for this role blends product sense with systems thinking. You don’t need to be an engineer—but you do need to speak their language, understand how back-end decisions ripple across UX and NPS, and earn trust across functions.

This is a role for high-agency builders who like complexity, move fast, and get things done.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own critical infrastructure domains like payments, risk systems, fraud pipelines, or credit logic—from design through delivery.
• Frame and solve high-impact problems using metrics. You’ll work backwards from outcomes (e.g. approval rate, fraud rate, auth latency) and make hard tradeoffs.
• Drive end-to-end execution: roadmap, tickets, release plans, triage, retros—you sweat the details and ship.
• Collaborate across disciplines with engineering, data, ops, risk, design, and compliance to land durable, elegant solutions.
• Manage complexity: technical constraints, legacy behavior, vendor integrations, second-order effects.
• Raise the bar: push for better metrics, tighter feedback loops, faster iterations. You are the standard-setter for execution in ambiguous, high-impact domains.
  
  

Who We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience across product, engineering, or ops, with at least 2 in product.
• Strong KPI fluency: You understand how systems impact metrics, and how to reason from metrics back to strategy.
• Structured, fast thinker: You’re quick on your feet, not by talking fast but by cutting to the core of a problem.
• Trusted executor: You’ve led launches that matter, managed risk, and made progress in messy or technical domains.
• Clear communicator: You can explain tradeoffs to engineers, analysts, and executives alike—without losing the thread.
• Cultural fit for Neo: You’re sharp, direct, self-assured but humble. You push for better without needing guardrails. You want to win with a team.
