We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo.

About the role:

The growth of Borrowing products is a key component of achieving Monzo's mission to make money work for everyone. This area is a top priority for Monzo as a business. The mission of Borrowing Decision Scientists is to improve the customer and business outcomes through better decisioning.

  • You have a successful track record of managing complex projects, with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.
  • You know how to inspire people around you, with innovative thinking and high standard execution.

  • You have previous experience of handling relationships with credit bureaux.
  • You have previous experience of developing data and model governance procedures.
