Calgary, Canada Neo Financial Full time

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. 

  • LinkedIn’s Top Startup in Canada for 2022 and 2023
  • Top-ranked mobile apps and credit cards
  • Canada’s top-rated credit card
  • Team of 700+ people
  • 1M+ customers in 3 years 
  • 11K+ retail partners

High Performance at Neo

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:

As a Principal Product Designer, you will work with product managers, researchers, engineers, and other designers to define, shape, and deliver a multitude of experiences across various digital platforms. Your efforts will impact all stages of a project, exercising skills in concepting, prototyping, service design, information design, and research through hands-on work to innovate everyday financial services. As a senior leader in the team, you will also help guide, mentor, and expand the design team and practice.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead the definition, creation, and delivery of the most advanced, impactful, and ambiguous challenges spanning our whole product.
  • Participate in the discovery and planning of new products and features while driving the design vision across our product suite.
  • Working with cross-functional teams (developers, product managers, researchers, content strategists, fellow designers) to drive design vision and strategy that meets the needs of our users. You will help other disciplines understand the value design can bring to a project and ultimately build and ship the best products.
  • Illustrate and communicate complex design solutions across use cases by creating process flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups.
  • Transform research and requirements into deliverables that demonstrate an intuitive user experience.
  • Follow established Neo design system patterns while expanding the framework throughout product evolution.
  • Work alongside and mentor design colleagues, continually elevating our design practice and quality of experiences.
  • Provide expertise to the Director, and Product managers for org-level decision making

Who we are looking for

  • 8+ years of progressive responsibility in product design or user experience design roles.
  • Deep experience with driving and applying user-centered design processes while working with cross-functional teams including development, product management, and user research.
  • Expert knowledge of the end to end iterative product design process, including developing and using personas, flows, journey mapping, content modelling, wireframing and prototyping, user testing, and high fidelity visuals (along with any other frameworks you use).
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills; you have the ability to help your stakeholders understand the “why” behind your design rationale.
  • A strong portfolio of work demonstrating industry-leading quality, thoughtful, and meticulous UX and UI work.
  • Ability to balance great design solutions with an iterative approach (v1, v2, or v3/Now, Next, Later)
  • Experience designing and prototyping complex workflows with Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar tools.
  • Deep knowledge of synthesizing research to define gaps in usability, customer desires, and strategic opportunities.
  • Ability to drive results independently while thriving in collaborative environments
  • Fluency in principles and techniques of information architecture, systems thinking, and user experience design.

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.

We believe in equal opportunity, and are committed to creating an inclusive climate where everyone can thrive. Customers trust us with their finances, so successful candidates for this position will be required to undergo a security screening, including a criminal records check and a credit check.
