The role

Neo Financial is looking for a full-time Lead Analyst, Payments Operations to join our Banking Engineering & Product teams in Calgary AB. Our team is made up of highly innovative visionaries who stop at nothing to develop cutting-edge financial platform technologies. Make your mark with transformative products and tech, alongside some of Canada’s most successful developers and product minds.

What you'll be doing:

  • Oversee the "operating system" for the banking team by managing continuous intake and prioritization of organizational initiatives.
  • Develop a deep understanding of the payment stack from operations, business and finance perspectives, and use the understanding to bring high-impact opportunities to the product roadmap.
  • Own the end-to-end financial reconciliation function by setting strategy and standards for detection and mitigation, and designing workflows, tools, and automation.
  • Collaborate with vendors (often owning and driving the relationship) and external partners to develop product plans that improve a financial platform integrating many APIs and different technologies together.
  • Bring stakeholders together to ensure that non-functional requirements (scalability, security, reliability) are consistently a big part in developing product plans.
  • Work closely with engineering, operations, finance, and customer experience teams to build the best product in the market.

Who we're looking for:

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience working in payment operations or with technical products where you understand transaction lifecycles, financial reconciliation and authorization / settlement processes.
  • Prior start-up or product experience, business analyst, management consulting, or engineering background is a strong asset
  • Being a high achiever, willing to roll up your sleeves to learn about the banking and financial domain, able to share a nuanced opinion on what makes a platform great
  • Capable of executing high-value projects with multiple stakeholders, while dealing with competing priorities
  • Taking ownership over your work and outcomes and passionate about building world-class products with a world-class team

Working at Neo

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.
