About the role

🚀 We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ❤️

Data at Monzo

We have over 300 employees in Data at Monzo. Data is at the heart of Monzo's journey and our work defines the success and direction of the business. That means, similar to the rest of Monzo, Data too should be magically simple.

We have a strong culture of data-driven decision making across the whole company and use data in everything we do; from machine learning models to detect and block fraudulent payments to analysing how customers use the app to improve our app design. We're great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. All our data lives in one place and is super easy to use.

We contribute to an open source environment as much as possible. Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do.
