Engineering Manager Scrum in London

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.

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.

We're continuously hiring Engineering Managers as we continue to grow and build new teams. 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.

• Partner with senior engineers in your area to drive technical initiatives that raise the bar for our engineering practices.
• Collaborate with the wider engineering organisation to contribute to company-wide best managerial and technical practices and standards.
• 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:

• It's a bonus if you have experience working in an experimentation led environment.
• 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 coach people to achieve their goals.
• Has a natural ability to inspire and motivate a team.

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. If you live outside of London and we ask you to come into the office, Monzo will support you with the costs. Teams also schedule time together often for work and play – in or around the office, or online. 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.

Initial Call Interview (1 hour): You'll meet with one of our Senior Engineering Managers or Engineering Directors. The Loop is one stage, and the interviews in the Loop are:

• Team and Org Management (1 hour): An example based interview with 1-2 of our engineering leaders.
• 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.

We offer flexible working with no company mandate on how often you need to come into the office. You can be London based or remote within the UK (with ad hoc visits to our London office). We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, at times that suit you and your team.

Learning budget of 1,000 a year for books, training courses and conferences. And much more, see our full list of benefits here.

We're usually always hiring for Engineering Managers, so there's no closing date for this job.

Equal opportunities for everyone. Diversity and inclusion are a priority for us and we're making sure we have lots of support for all of our people to grow at Monzo. At Monzo, we're embracing diversity by fostering an inclusive environment for all people to do the best work of their lives with us.
