Join us to build a more rewarding financial future for all Canadians At Neo, we’re on a mission to build a more rewarding financial future for all Canadians. Life at a rapidly scaling tech startup isn’t for everyone. It’s complex, fast-paced, high-pressure, but also incredibly fulfilling.

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 1→N: 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. - Scale the product org by defining hiring standards and mentoring future PM talent. - 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.
