📍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.

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.

Doing market research

• 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.
• Partnering with our Research Operations team to set the standard for the tools and processes needed for our Market Research discipline.

• Hiring brilliant, diverse people and ensuring they are onboarded to be quickly effective.

You should apply if:

• You're passionate about understanding the market and finding new opportunities to innovate.

• You’ve had experience building or informing go-to-market strategies and driving  sustainable growth through strategic thinking.
• You drive projects forward through clear communication and a focus on high-impact outcomes.
  
  

You have market research expertise 

• You’ve used market research methods, including branding, advertising, and growth marketing research in a high growth product or technology organisation.

• You are able to triangulate a range of insights (brand tracking data, user insights etc) into a compelling source of truth that helps others move forward effectively.
• You are comfortable with advanced quantitative analysis techniques, such as conjoint analysis, max-diff scaling, clustering and segmentation. 
• You blend qual and quant rigorously and thoughtfully.
• You're comfortable in modern research tech stacks and can independently drive analysis from raw data if needed. 

You lead people to do their best work

• You have experience coaching non-researchers on how to effectively use market insights.
• You are an empowering manager who balances high autonomy with supportive coaching and kind, clear performance management where needed.

Engineering Management at Monzo:

Engineering Managers at Monzo are part of cross-functional, autonomous teams and groups. Our teams are mission driven, and typically include Product Managers, backend, web and mobile engineers as well as data scientists, designers and subject matter experts relevant to that mission. Teams are organised into groups, and then collectives - we aim to keep our line management structure as shallow as possible, and for teams to directly own decision making relevant to their work.

The Engineering Manager role at Monzo is split into three pillars - people, product, and technical leadership. Engineering Managers are accountable for the technical and delivery outcomes for their area - that means supporting and developing best in class engineering talent, as well as creating an inclusive team environment for people to do their best work.

You can read more on the expectations of Engineering Managers on our Progression Framework.

The Role

We're continuously hiring Engineering Managers as we continue to grow and build new teams. We hire on a pipeline based approach which means your application will be considered across all of our open EM positions. We use the interview process to assess your strengths and we'll match you to a role that best aligns with your experience. Of course, this is a collaborative process so you can also tell us which roles you're most interested in as you progress through interviews 😊 We're currently hiring across Platform, Core App, and Expansion.

You’ll spend your time:

• Taking accountability for delivery across your squad(s), collaborating with the Technical Lead and Product Manager.
• Actively fostering a high bar for engineering excellence within your teams. You’re accountable for the technical outcomes your teams deliver alongside individual engineer performance and growth, so holding a high bar (and clearly articulating your expectations) is key.
• You’ll initially lead a group of around 7-10 engineers (depending on the role) and support, coach and develop them through their career with regular 1:1s and continuous feedback.
• Partner with senior engineers in your area to drive technical initiatives that raise the bar for our engineering practices.
• Lead on communication with stakeholders from other teams, creating focus space for engineers to do their best work.
• Collaborate with the wider engineering organisation to contribute to company-wide best managerial and technical practices and standards.

You should apply if:

While this is not a role which requires hands-on-coding, we are looking for an experienced manager who has a strong technical and delivery background and has worked as a software engineer in previous roles.

We recognise that engineering managers lead in different ways, we’re looking for someone who: 

• Is comfortable operating with ambiguous problem areas with a high degree of autonomy.
• It’s a bonus if you have experience working in an experimentation led environment.
• Has delivery experience and is able to guide the squads in achieving their outcomes.
• Focuses on outcomes over processes, who optimises for the highest impact and leverage.
• Is able to input, understand and challenge engineering decisions - but to empower the team to make those decisions themselves
• Has an understanding of what good looks like for a high-performing team of engineers and ability to chart a course to get there
• Is able to to coach people to achieve their goals
• Has a natural ability to inspire and motivate a team

We consider your application across all open EM roles at Monzo independent of which role you've applied for, so if you've recently applied to a similar role at Monzo and have been unsuccessful, please wait 6 months before applying again.

You can read more on the expectations of Senior Engineering Managers in our Progression Framework.

Is this role right for you?

While this is not a role which requires hands-on-coding, we are looking for an experienced manager who has a strong technical and delivery background and has worked as a software engineer in previous roles.

We recognise that Senior Engineering Managers lead in different ways, we’re looking for someone who is adept at: 

• Delivery and Execution: Enjoys taking accountability for delivery across your squad(s), collaborating with the Technical Lead and Product Manager.
• Engineering and Operational Excellence: Actively fosters a high bar for engineering excellence within your teams. You’re accountable for the technical outcomes your teams deliver alongside individual engineer performance and growth, so holding a high bar (and clearly articulating your expectations) is key.
• People Leadership: Has experience directly managing at least 2-3 Engineering Managers and leading orgs of around ~20 engineers. You can support, coach and develop them through their career with regular 1:1s and continuous feedback.
• Technical Influence: Partners with senior engineers to drive technical initiatives that raise the bar for our engineering practices.
• Stakeholder Relationships: Builds strong stakeholder relationships with other teams, and creates a focus space for engineers to do their best work.
• Organisational Wide Impact: Collaborates with the wider engineering organisation to contribute to company-wide best managerial and technical practices and standards.

We consider your application across all open EM roles at Monzo independent of which role you've applied for, so if you've recently applied to a similar role at Monzo and have been unsuccessful, please wait 6 months before applying again.

How we work 💻:

Locations & Flexible Working : 

Our main tech hub is in London, but our engineers live everywhere in the UK— from Brighton to the Western Isles. 

We value meeting in person but there’s no pressure to come into the office, even if you're nearby. We believe you'll do your best work if you are where you want to be. If you live outside of London and we ask you to come into the office, Monzo will support you with the costs. ✨

Our offices are naturally social, especially Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, which happen to line up with our twice-weekly Monzo lunches & treat Thursdays 🍽️. Teams also schedule time together often for work and play – in or around the office, or online.

Set up a work schedule that delivers impact and fits your life.

At Monzo, we value connections, flexibility, and wellbeing. We keep our meetings during core hours to stay connected and believe in maintaining work/life balance. 

You’ll be empowered to manage your work in a way that suits you and your team, giving you the freedom for children drop-offs and pick-ups, walking your dog or adventurous cat, avoiding peak commuting times or gym slots, appointments, or supporting your family in an emergency. 🕒✨

Work the way that works for you with Monzo! 💼

The interview process:

After an initial informal recruiter call you go through two main stages

1. Initial Call (1 hour) You'll meet with one of our Senior Engineering Managers or Engineering Directors. They'll ask you about your previous experience, in particular people leadership, product delivery and technical leadership. They’ll ask example based questions (‘Tell me about a time when…’)
   
   
2. Loop Stage (3 hours 30 mins) The Loop stage consists of 3 x 60 min interviews that take place over 1-2 days (depending on your availability) and one 30 minute reverse interview (more details below).

The Loop is one stage and the interviews in this stage are:

- Team and Org Management (1 hour)
An example based interview with 1-2 of our engineering leaders. They’re interested to hear examples from your previous experience on the teams you’ve led, how you’ve shaped and partnered with product, and the impact you had.

- System Design (1 hour)
You'll partner with a Staff or Principal Engineer on a technical whiteboarding exercise.

- Behavioural (1 hour)
Similar to Team and Org Management, this is an example based interview with 1-2 Engineering Leaders. This interview focuses on your people leadership style and core behaviours as an Engineering Manager.

- Chat with an Engineering Leader (30 mins)
At Monzo, we believe interviews are a two-way street. This will be your opportunity to ask us any questions about Monzo, engineering leadership or our teams – whatever’s on your mind. 

All things going well, you'll have completed the hiring process 🚀

Our average process takes around 3-4 weeks but we will always work around your availability. You’ll have the chance to speak to our recruitment team throughout the process.

💰Base salary £130k - £165k + Equity + Benefits
