Job Description

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

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 ❤️

Our team⭐

Our Borrowing business is growing rapidly across both existing products and a range of new initiatives. From credit cards and loans to emerging lending products, we’re building solutions that give customers greater control, transparency, and flexibility in how they manage their finances.

If you’re interested in using data to understand lending performance, improve decision-making, and support the development of credit strategies, this role offers the opportunity to work on meaningful problems with clear business impact.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional environment where you’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Finance, and Risk & Control to drive sustainable, profitable, and responsible growth across our lending portfolio.

You’ll operate at the intersection of credit risk, commercial performance, and customer experience, helping ensure Monzo’s borrowing products remain competitive, scalable, and aligned with strong customer outcomes.

Locations & flexible working

Our main tech hub is in London, but our data teams are based all over the UK — from Brighton to the Western Isles.

We love meeting in person, but there’s no pressure to come into the office, even if you’re nearby. You’ll do your best work where you feel most comfortable.

We value flexibility, connection, and wellbeing. You’ll have the freedom to work in a way that fits your life, whether that’s school drop-offs, avoiding rush hour, or making time for what matters most.

Work the way that works for you at Monzo! 💼
