Head of Product, Banking

Come Build a Better Financial Future for all Canadians 

Neo is building what Canada’s big banks won’t: modern financial products that actually make your money work for you. We’re a technology company, not a traditional bank, which means no legacy systems, no decades-old red tape, and no tolerance for “good enough.” In just a few years, we’ve built a multi-product platform from scratch, launched credit, savings, investing, and rewards that millions of Canadians use every day, and partnered with some of the biggest brands in the country. Our team is behind some of Canada’s fastest-growing companies (like SkipTheDishes), and we’re now taking on one of the largest, most broken industries in the country. If you’re excited by the idea of rewriting the financial playbook, Neo might be your next move.

The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Product to lead our Banking division: the core set of products and infrastructure that power how Canadians spend, save, move, and grow their money with Neo. From deposits and payments to wealth and investing, you’ll define the strategy that positions Neo to become Canada’s primary financial institution. This is a senior leadership role: you'll own the product strategy, the roadmap, the outcomes and the development of the product team delivering it.

This role is about setting a bold vision, building what doesn't yet exist, and scaling what does. You’ll lead a division of PMs and work alongside senior engineering, design, data, and operations leaders to solve complex problems with clarity and urgency. You’ll be accountable for both the product and the people: hiring, mentoring, coaching, and shaping the next generation of product leaders at Neo.

We're looking for someone who’s scaled product teams, shipped high-impact products, and thrives in a hands-on, fast-changing environment. If you’re excited to build the strategy and roll up your sleeves when needed, you’ll be in the right place.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead the development of Neo’s end-to-end banking platform, including savings, deposits, bill pay, money movement, and investing, ensuring performance, scale, and reliability across millions of customers.
• Oversee the modernization of our financial infrastructure, including integrations with third-party systems (Interac, EFT, custodians, etc.), core ledger architecture, and regulatory and compliance tooling.
• Navigate complex regulatory landscapes with pragmatism, building systems and product experiences that are both compliant and customer-friendly.
• Lead, grow, and mentor a team of high-performing product managers. You’ll develop talent, shape team culture, and create the conditions for great work.
• Act as the cross-functional glue for your division, collaborating with senior leaders across engineering, design, data, ops, marketing, and executive leadership.
• Translate customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints into clear product strategies, decisions, and trade-offs.
  Own the results. Your team’s work will directly move core business metrics and customer impact and you’ll hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just output.
• Elevate product quality and execution across your teams through strong systems, clear feedback, and day-to-day coaching.
• Champion a culture of speed, ownership, and learning. We move fast — but we don’t cut corners.
• Represent product in strategic conversations with exec leadership, external partners, and investors.

Who We're Looking For:

• 8–12+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years in a senior leadership role (e.g., leading other PMs or a product org).
• Domain experience in banking and/or fintech is a strong asset, but as important is your ability to ramp fast and think like an owner.
• You’ve built and led product teams in high-growth environments, ideally with both 0→1 and scale experience.
• You’re a strategic thinker who can move between long-term planning and in-the-weeds execution without missing a beat.
• You bring strong product judgment, clear systems thinking, and a bias toward action.
• You’ve led cross-functional workstreams that include technical complexity, ambiguous problems, and diverse stakeholder input.
• You care deeply about talent: hiring the right people, growing them fast, and building a healthy, high-performing team.
• You lead with influence, not just authority. You know how to rally people around a vision, and communicate clearly up, down, and sideways.
• You’re comfortable making bold bets and adapting quickly when the facts change.
