Full Job Description
The Role

We're looking for a senior product leader who can own complex, high-stakes verticals end-to-end - from business strategy down to platform architecture. This isn't a role for someone who hands off the hard parts. You'll be expected to understand the systems deeply, navigate regulatory and operational constraints, and lead both the product and the people building it.

At this level, you're not just managing a roadmap. You're setting the vision for a large, technically complex surface area, building and developing a team of PMs, and partnering directly with engineering leadership to make hard architectural decisions. You think 11N: you've scaled systems and teams before, and you know how to structure work that survives growth.

What you'll own
  • A significant product vertical with real business impact - revenue, compliance, platform infrastructure, or new lines of business.
  • A team of PMs you'll hire, develop, and hold to a high bar.
  • The strategy and the execution, you close the loop yourself.
  • Cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, operations, legal, and finance.
  • Platform decisions that compound: you're not optimizing features, you're building the substrate.

What we're looking for
  • Deep technical fluency : you've worked closely enough with engineers and architects that you can engage credibly on system design, data models, and infrastructure trade-offs without needing translation.
  • Experience owning complex, regulated, or operationally intensive products (fintech, payments, lending, infra platforms, or similar).
  • A track record of scaling systems and teams through ambiguity, you've taken things from working to reliable to growing.
  • Strong people leadership: you've built and developed PM teams, not just managed them
  • Low ego, high standards: you do the unglamorous work and hold others to the same

How we hire for this role

We're looking for a rare combination and we won't compromise on fit to move fast. Applying here puts your profile in front of our team and keeps you in consideration as our product organization grows. It doesn't guarantee an immediate interview, and it won't lock you to a single role - if your background matches a current or emerging opportunity, we'll reach out directly.

We aim to respond to every application, but given the selective nature of this search, timelines may vary.

Working at Neo:

The people who thrive at Neo are resourceful, growth-oriented, and driven to win. We hold ourselves to high standards because we're on a mission that matters: to build a more rewarding financial future for all Canadians. As individuals and as a team, we constantly challenge ourselves and each other to raise the bar and deliver exceptional experiences for our customers. Our commitment to customer success drives everything we do, from building world-class products to providing exceptional support at every step of their journey. If this resonates with you, keep reading.

We trust, respect, and support each other. This means honest conversations, constructive input, and empowering each other to move fast and think big. You'll be surrounded by people who push you to be your best. We primarily collaborate in person across our Calgary, Winnipeg, and Toronto offices, where ideas move quickly and teams build momentum together. As we continue to scale and evolve, we're looking for builders, innovators, and problem solvers who thrive on challenge-people who would rather blaze a trail through uncertainty than follow a well-paved path.

At Neo, ownership is part of how we think and operate. For select roles, equity participation reinforces that mindset by giving employees a direct stake in the company's long-term success. Regardless of role, every team member is expected to think like an owner and make decisions that move the business forward.
