Job Description
Come Build a Better Financial Future for all Canadians
At Neo, we're building a more rewarding financial experience for all Canadians.
Life at a rapidly expanding tech startup is demanding, exhilarating, and not for everyone.
From world-class creative minds to brilliant engineers, it's high-performing people that make Neo a workplace with passion and purpose.
Since being founded in 2019, Neo has built incredible traction and is one of the fastest growing fintechs in Canada.
We recruit, hire, and build our company culture around these attributes:
Teamwork: We trust, respect, encourage, and show up for each other — through good times and hard. We're on this mission not just for ourselves, but also for the people we work with — and ultimately, for our customers.
Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo's success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.
Professional Integrity: We're asking millions of Canadians to trust us with their hard-earned money — so we hold ourselves (and each other) to the highest standards of integrity.
The Role
Neo Financial is looking for a Director, Strategy to join our team. Collaborate with fellow high-performing contributors with dynamic backgrounds to develop and execute strategies that will drive Neo's growth. Our strategy team sits at the nexus of the company, working closely with Product, Growth, Operations, Partnerships, and Finance teams to identify the largest opportunities for our business and develop plans against them. We're motivated leaders who want to make things better, simpler and stronger. Make your mark with transformative products and technologies, alongside some of Canada's most successful leaders and tech minds.
What You'll Be Doing
Joining Neo means betting on yourself and discovering your full potential. As individuals and as a team, we continually challenge ourselves and each other to do our best work. We're making change happen at a rapid pace — providing endless opportunities to sharpen your skills, expand your knowledge, and find new solutions to complex problems. That means rapid career progression and constant learning opportunities.
The people who thrive at Neo are resourceful, relentless, and want to win. We hold ourselves to high standards, because we're on a mission that matters — to transform financial services for the better. If that's what you're looking for, read on.
We trust, respect, and show up for each other. That means truthful conversations, frequent feedback, and working with people who push you to be your best. We're evolving quickly as an organization, we work together in person, and the pace of progress isn't for everyone. That's why we're looking for change-makers who love a challenge — who would rather blaze a trail through uncertainty than travel a well-paved road.
Our team members earn meaningful equity in the company through stock options — so Neo's growth benefits everyone who helps make it happen. That also means taking on more responsibility than you may have had at your last job. We don't get hung up on job titles or hierarchy — we're focused on doing what it takes to accomplish our mission.
