Job description

Data Science Manager, Growth & Marketing

Cardiff, London or Remote (UK)

We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

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

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 ️

We’re here to make money work for everyone and we\'re doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex, and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, tests the app, and gives 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.

As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a Data Science Manager to lead one of our key Growth areas—Marketing.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with our award-winning Marketing team and lead a dedicated data team to help execute Monzo’s marketing strategy. You’ll be responsible for building and improving our current capabilities while shaping the future roadmap. We’re looking for a hands-on and data-driven strategic leader who can bring fresh thinking and inspire both the team and our customers.

You’ll work closely with leaders across Brand, Paid, and Content, championing the use of data to drive ideas, measurement, optimisation, and learning through a rigorous analytical approach.

You’ll grow and support your team by hiring new members and developing their skills. You’ll manage a mix of Data Scientists and Data Analysts, and work alongside Analytics Engineers to deliver impactful data products. You’ll see the direct results of your work in the performance of our marketing.

We have a strong culture of data-driven decision making across the company. We believe in powerful, real-time analytics and empowering the wider business. Today, 90% of day-to-day data decisions are made through self-serve analytics in Looker, giving data teams the space to focus on bigger, more impactful business questions and analyses.

• Be a key leader in building a discipline of exceptional data scientists and analysts
• Hire, develop, and retain talented data professionals
• Generate insights that can change the direction of our growth and marketing strategy
• Bring data leadership and rigour to our approach to product development. Build a strategic understanding of the business and structure complex projects to bring them to life
• Liaise with marketing, product, and engineering managers to ensure we collect the right data for meaningful business insights

We would love to hear from you if…

• What we’re doing here at Monzo excites you!
• You have at least 4 years of experience as a Data Science Manager, managing a data team larger than 5 people
• You are a strong strategic data leader and love to drive decisions
• You have strong experience working with executive or C-level peers, managing stakeholders across levels of seniority and disciplines—especially in a tech organisation
• You’re excited by the opportunity to work autonomously to impact the future of a fast-growing, ever-evolving business
• You're familiar with using a variety of Data Science tools (from business intelligence, experimentation, and causal inference through to machine learning), and coding languages (Python and SQL). You know when to pick the right tool, and can help others do the same
• You have experience with Marketing Mix Modelling and other measurement approaches
• You’re familiar with marketing and advertising datasets from platforms such as Facebook and Google

The Interview Process:

Our interview process involves three main stages. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions!

• 30-minute recruiter call
• 45-minute call with the hiring manager
• Three 1-hour video calls with team members

Our average process takes around 3–4 weeks, but we will always work around your availability. You will have the chance to speak to our recruitment team at various points during your process, but if you do have any specific questions ahead of this please contact us on [e-mail] .

What’s in it for you:

️ We can help you relocate to the UK

We can sponsor visas

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).

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.

A learning budget of £1,000 a year for books, training courses, and conferences
