Engineering at Monzo

We’re looking for a creative, entrepreneurial and impact-focused Senior Director of Engineering to help us build one of the best, and most innovative digital banks in the world. 

As a Senior Director, you’ll start by leading an organisation of ~50 Engineers and Engineering Leaders, which will continue to grow over the next 18 months. You’ll be leading our core consumer app at Monzo focusing on user acquisition, engagement, and personal banking product growth. 

We’re aiming to be the app where our customers' financial lives are centered and they can get full transparency, visibility and control over their money. This role is fundamental to achieving this mission and making money work for everyone. You’ll build the foundations for a personalised financial experience, leveraging machine learning to improve our search, discovery, and personalisation features. 

You should apply if you have:

• You have led teams delivering personalisation, recommendation, or search products, and have a strong grasp of how these products are executed successfully.
• You have experience leading an organisation of 50-100 individuals (including experience managing Engineering Leaders, ideally at Director level). 
• You are someone who regularly pushes senior leaders to get to better solutions by challenging our thinking, based on data. 
• You’ve got over a ten year track record of shipping successful, customer-centric digital products in a consumer tech company. 
• You make good decisions in complex situations where there’s often no “right answer”.
• You’re comfortable using data to ground your thinking in analysis, can identify key metrics and their drivers and evaluate the success of your work.
• You can work effectively with a diverse range of people and working styles to get stuff done, and are able to thoughtfully and constructively challenge and influence the people you work with.
• You’re able to quickly build trust and enable your teams to be high performing. 
• You have experience empowering marketing teams to succeed at paid acquisition channels, including a basic understanding of attribution and LTV estimation techniques.

1. Recruiter Call (30 mins) You'll meet our Engineering Hiring Lead to discuss your experience and learn more about Monzo. They'll be your partner and guide throughout the interview process.

3. Loop Stage (4 hours) The Loop stage is one stage that consists of 4 x 60 min interviews that take place over 1-2 days (depending on your availability).

At all stages we’ll create space for you to ask as many questions as you have, you’re interviewing us as well!
