Since its founding in 2019, Neo has gained incredible traction and is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in Canada. - #1 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 for 2023, 2024, and 2025 https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/neo-financial-achieves-first-ever-three-peat-win-as-number-one-on-deloitte-s-technology-fast-50-list-889692540.html — the first company ever to achieve a three-peat at the top! - #1 Fastest Growing Company in Canada for 2024 by Globe & Mail https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240927952651/en/Neo-Financial-Ranks-No.-1-on-The-Globe-and-Mail%E2%80%99s-2024-List-of-Canada%E2%80%99s-Top-Growing-Companies - Top-ranked mobile apps and credit cards - Team of 500+ people - 1M+ customers - 10K+ retail partners THE ROLE: As the Director, Data Analytics, you will provide strategic leadership over Neo's analytics function—ensuring that data-driven insights are consistently delivered to inform executive decision-making, optimize business performance, and unlock growth opportunities. You will own the core analytics strategy, build and scale a high-performing team of analysts and analytics managers, and ensure the analytics function operates as a trusted, deeply embedded partner across all business units. This is a high-leverage role designed for a strategic heavyweight who wants to elevate the maturity of Neo's analytics capabilities. You will move the company beyond reactive reporting toward proactive, predictive, and prescriptive insight delivery that shapes corporate strategy and drives measurable business outcomes. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING (DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL): - Strategic Leadership & Vision: Define and execute the enterprise analytics strategy, translating company-wide goals into a prioritized, high-impact analytics roadmap. You will establish the function as a proactive strategic partner—not a passive service desk—to uncover hidden risks and growth avenues before stakeholders identify them. - Team Leadership & Bench Building: Build, lead, and scale a high-performing team of analytics professionals. You will foster a culture of intellectual curiosity and rigor while defining clear career paths, development plans, and robust internal succession strategies for all analytics roles. - Analytical Excellence & Governance: Set and enforce rigid standards for analytical quality, reproducibility, documentation, and metric consistency. You will oversee centralized KPI frameworks and self-service dashboards while driving the adoption of advanced methods (A/B testing experimentation, forecasting, segmentation, and statistical process control). - Stakeholder Partnership: Partner directly with executive leadership and department heads (Product, Marketing, Operations, Finance, Engineering) to translate analytical outputs into concrete revenue growth, cost reductions, and retention strategies. You will serve as the senior analytical voice in cross-company strategy discussions. - Cross-Functional Integration & Data Literacy: Collaborate closely with Data Science, Data Development, and Infrastructure teams to ensure seamless integration of workflows. You will champion a heavily data-literate culture across Neo, expanding automated self-service analytics to reduce centralized dependency for routine reporting. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: - 8–12+ years of progressive data analytics experience, with 3+ years in a senior leadership role scaling data teams within high-growth tech startups, fintechs, or top-tier consulting environments. - A "Founder in a box" mindset—possessing the rare ability to zoom out to 30,000 feet for company strategy and zoom in to the "nuts and bolts" o
