Join us to build a more rewarding financial future for all Canadians

At Neo, we’re on a mission to build a more rewarding financial future for all Canadians. Life at a rapidly scaling tech startup isn’t for everyone. It’s complex, fast-paced, high-pressure, but also incredibly fulfilling. Since its founding in 2019, Neo has gained incredible traction and is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in Canada.

The Role

As the Senior Manager, Customer Experience , you will completely own the execution of CX operations and strategic initiatives across your designated division—including our Customer Success, Banking Operations, and Knowledge Management teams. This is an outcome-driven leadership role. While our team managers execute, you will be entirely accountable for the results, performance metrics, and cost-to-serve outcomes of the floor.

You are a strategic operator who excels at building robust operational playbooks, streamlining process efficiencies, and ensuring our systems run seamlessly at hyper-growth velocity.

What You’ll Achieve

Operational Excellence & Ownership

• Run the System: Manage day-to-day operations across all managed units, maintaining deep visibility over real-time performance data to isolate trends, mitigate risks, and deploy proactive countermeasures before issues compound.

• Cost-to-Serve (CTS) Optimization: Directly impacts the bottom line by driving efficiency initiatives across handle times, repeat contact reduction, and channel optimization.

• Strategic Program Execution: Act as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for major quarterly initiatives, including Product Release Readiness, AI/automation rollouts, and efficiency campaigns.

• Incident & Crisis Safeguarding: Ensure your team managers are highly equipped to respond to live system incidents, handle immediate customer communications, and lead post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence.

Strategy, AI, & Process Design

• 0-to-1 Process Architecture: Own the structural design for key customer journeys, escalation pathways, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in tandem with our Operations Design team.

• AI Tooling Adoption: Champion the adoption and refinement of AI-powered internal tools (like Co-Pilot), systematically removing cross-functional friction to drive tool accuracy quarter-over-quarter.

• Broken Experience Resolution: Act as a data-backed, credible voice in cross-functional forums to diagnose, flag, and systematically resolve structural customer friction.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven Leadership: 5 to 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in high-volume customer operations, tech scale-ups, or heavily regulated operational environments (e.g., Fintech, Banking, or massive e-commerce operations).

• Analytical Rigor: A data-driven mindset with experience building and owning level-2 dashboard insight packages for executive review. You never look at data passively; you use it to drive immediate business cases.

• Startup Mindset: Exceptional comfort navigating severe ambiguity, moving targets, and highly compressed timelines. You thrive under intense performance demands and can shift gears in hours, not weeks.

• Technical Familiarity: High comfort working alongside product, tech, and automated workforce management frameworks. Experience with Snowflake, AWS, or modern AI customer service tooling is a massive asset.

• Executive Presence: Outstanding cross-functional influence with the ability to hold your ground, challenge assumptions, and gain alignment with product teams, compliance officers, and executive founders.

We primarily collaborate in person across our Calgary, Winnipeg, and Toronto offices, where ideas move quickly and teams build momentum together. As we continue to scale and evolve, we’re looking for builders, innovators, and problem solvers who thrive on challenge–people who would rather blaze a trail through uncertainty than follow a well-paved path.

At Neo, ownership is part of how we think and operate. For select roles, equity participation reinforces that mindset by giving employees a direct stake in the company’s long-term success. Regardless of role, every team member is expected to think like an owner and make decisions that move the business forward.
