Analytics Engineering Manager, Core Banking

Analytics Engineering Manager, Core Banking

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 in the UK over the last 10 years, including personal and business bank accounts, joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards. 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 Core Analytics Engineering Team

Our goal in Core Banking is to make everyday money work for everyone. We’re responsible for the current account used by over 12 million users. We create day-to-day money management experiences, including features like Trends, Salary Sorter, Bills Pots, and more. We build functionality for different audiences, including Joint Account users and Under 16 year olds. Our team builds Subscriptions, our paid upgrades that unlock extra benefits and functionality to help our customers make financial progress. We’re now gearing up for growth to 20 million customers. Our Analytics Engineering discipline works at the intersection of data, engineering and our collectives — Core, Money, Borrowing, Operations and Financial Crime and beyond.

The AE teams are responsible for building downstream data models from backend services with the goal of making 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 and ships with care and attention to detail. There will be a strong focus on delivering best practice across our data discipline and helping bring a new level of maturity around Data Governance principles, working in collaboration with others to deliver this.

You’ll play a key role by…

Working In a Multi-disciplinary Team, You Will

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
