We're on a mission to make money work for everyone. We're waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking. 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.
Our Mission in Borrowing is to enable people's financial goals through better borrowing. Our customers look to borrow money to enable them to achieve something in their lives - whether that's making a big life event affordable, buying something they need now without affecting their monthly budget, or getting by until payday. Data is crucial to the success of this mission and Borrowing Analytics Engineers are at the core of how we build, scale and re-architect our Borrowing Data Warehouse to enable Monzo to make better decisions, faster, and help serve Monzo's customers better.
Our Analytics Engineering discipline works in the intersection between data, engineering and our collectives - Money, Borrowing, Operations and Financial Crime and beyond. The AE teams are responsible for building downstream data models from backend services with the desire to make our Data Warehouse a genuine competitive advantage for Monzo. We want a discipline capable of building a reliable and scalable Data Warehouse to support decision making in a cost effective and performant manner.
Managers within Data have two primary responsibilities; people and technical products. Your focus will be on helping engineers with their personal and professional development, listening and guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes. You will also be leading and participating directly in technical initiatives and helping Monzo shape its Data organisation, ensuring the team focuses on valuable work, shipping things with a level of care and attention to detail.
You'll play a key role by:
- Working in a multi-disciplinary team, you will be a hands-on leader in building a discipline of exceptional analytics working to make Data at Monzo the gold standard within the industry.
- Nurturing between 6 and 7 engineers, supporting, coaching and developing high performing engineers through regular 1:1s, continuous feedback and relationships with others.
- Aiding prioritisation of initiatives and projects, working closely with other leads for each of our Monzo collectives.
- Being hands-on through participating in the review cycle, architecture and design leadership and development of your own changes to the pipelines.
- Being part of the hiring team within Analytics Engineering.
- Driving effective project management of central Analytics Engineering projects, ensuring they're well scoped and delivered to deadlines.
- Establishing yourself as a trusted partner to various collectives and the leadership team, with the capacity for getting things done, be it either hands-on or by leading others.
We'd love to hear from you if:
- You have experience managing or mentoring the performance and development of high-performing engineers.
- You have strong experience in data warehousing architecture at scale.
- You have experience and a passion for leading data warehousing, data visualisation, big data or ETL projects as an analyst, developer, designer or architect.
- You know what it takes to hire great engineers within the data space.
- You're equally comfortable working hands-on and leading a team.
Nice To Haves:

What's in it for you:
- £92,500-£125,000
- We'll help you relocate to the UK.
- We can sponsor your visa.
- This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London).
