📍London, Cardiff or UK Remote | 💰£100,000-£135,000 + Benefits | Research at Monzo 

About us:

We’re here to make money work for everyone and we're doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo.

About our Research Team: We are currently a team of around 30 individual contributors, who are embedded in collectives like Core Banking and Business Banking. We work cross functionally with Product Management, Product Design, Marketing, Brand and Engineering teams. Our research organisation is led by Katherine Vaughan, our Director of Research. Katherine reports into Vuokko Aro, Monzo’s Chief Design Officer. 

About the role..

As Senior Market Research Manager, you’ll build and lead a team of Market Researchers embedded across Monzo. While you scale the team, you’ll be hands-on in delivering the deep customer and market insights that shape our product and growth strategies. You’ll champion robust market research and scale its impact to help us make money work for everyone. While our existing team excels at understanding our current users, you will be the expert on the non-user and the wider market, bridging the gap between where we are today and where we want to grow.

• Increase visibility of insights, making sure action is taken as a result across the organisation.

Doing market research

• Doing and enabling primary qualitative and quantitative studies to analyse competitors, macro trends, pricing, and brand perception.

• Test and refine messaging and product positioning to ensure they resonate in market.
• Effectively partnering with external agencies when needed.

Leading people  

• Building the future of the Market Research discipline at Monzo.
• Managing our first team of Market Researchers, supporting 1-3 direct reports.

📍 Cardiff| 🏢 Minimum 3 days a week in office

Marketing at Capital On Tap🚀

This team owns our online marketing, SEO, AIO, customer communications, PR, social media, brand positioning, website, and any above-the-line activity.

The Role

We're looking for a (Junior) CRM & Communications Officer to join our Marketing team in Cardiff. This is a more junior role for someone who wants to learn how modern marketing actually works, with the chance to work on campaigns going out to hundreds of thousands of real customers.

You'll be working alongside our Growth Associate and Marketing Manager, learning how to build and send email and SMS campaigns, how to use data to target the right customers with the right message, and how to measure whether it's working. You'll be supported and trained, but you won't be handed a task list. If you're the kind of person who wants to figure things out, get things done, and see the impact of your work quickly, this is the role for you!.

What you'll be doing

• Build, test, and send email and SMS campaigns using our CRM platform, Customer.io. 
• Draft and proofread communications, ensuring customer communications are clear and on-brand.
• Keep a content calendar across customer communications so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Work with teams across the business (Product, Operations, Credit etc.) to gather what customers need to know. 
• Learn how to analyse campaign data, build audience segments, and run A/B tests to keep improving what we send.
• Help prepare performance reports and flag what's working and what isn't.

What we are looking for

We care more about how you think than what you've already done. Up to 12 months of any commercial experience is fine - the specifics matter less than the mindset.

• Genuine curiosity about how things work.
• Excellent writing. You care about words, you edit your own work, and your emails are clear and punchy.
• Comfort with data (you don't need to be technical, but numbers shouldn't scare you!)
• Clear drive to learn fast and take ownership of your work.

Nice to have

• Experience with any CRM or email marketing platform is a big plus (e.g Customer.io, Braze, Hubspot), but a proactive willingness to learn is essential.
