High Performance at Neo

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.

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
