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.

Neo Financial is looking for a full-time IT Solutions Architect to join our team and take ownership of the technical vision, planning, and roadmap for our enterprise IT projects. In this role, you'll play a key part in shaping the technical direction of Neo and driving our IT strategy. You'll work closely with stakeholders to select the best vendors, oversee the implementation of their solutions, and ensure that our systems are built to scale.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Shape and maintain the technical direction and vision for Neo’s enterprise IT projects, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
• Oversee the integration of various IT systems, ensuring seamless data flow between systems and a scalable architecture.
• Operate autonomously as an independent problem solver, tackling complex challenges with minimal direction.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies and proposing scalable solutions.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies, providing innovative, out-of-the-box solutions that help shape Neo’s IT strategy.
• Evaluate and select enterprise solutions that align with our technical needs, managing vendor relationships, negotiating contracts, and ensuring timely, cost-effective implementations.
• Communicate complex IT strategies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring alignment on project goals and vision, and engaging in regular updates and feedback loops.
