Our Investments team

Monzo's mission is to make money work for everyone, a mission most critical in the Investment space where the industry remains defined by jargon, complexity and a high barrier to entry. We are dedicated to helping our customers build a better financial future and believe investing should be simple, accessible and transparent. We've successfully launched an Investment product, achieving strong initial product-market fit by significantly lowering the barrier to entry for people new to investing. We're not stopping there, we're now ready to define the future of retail wealth management and truly help customers reach their financial goals.

We're looking for a Lead Product Manager to define and deliver the next phase of our Investment strategy. This isn't about incremental changes, it's about defining the next chapter and disrupting the industry. You will lead a cross-functional team to identify essential customer needs, synthesize multiple data and research inputs, and deliver the functionality that will fundamentally differentiate Monzo as we scale our Investment product to a mass-market audience.

Role title

You'll play a key role by

• Defining the next phase of Monzo Investment: Develop a strategy informed by customer insights, market opportunities and business goals. Translate long-term strategies into actionable, iterative plans that work towards our strategy and deliver an exceptional customer experience.
• Scaling and differentiating: Identify and define the new products, features and capabilities that will cement Monzo's unique value proposition and redefine how customers build their financial future.
• Thriving in ambiguity: Operate effectively in a highly ambiguous environment, taking multiple and sometimes conflicting inputs and collating them into a cohesive vision.
• Collaborating cross-functionally: Work iteratively with teams across design, engineering, research, data science, product marketing, compliance, external partners and other areas to refine and execute your strategy.
• Communicating and inspiring: Inspire stakeholders with the product vision and share the right context with the right people at the right time.

We'd love to hear from you if

• You are a seasoned product manager with a track record of successfully launching, scaling and iterating on Investment, Wealth or Trading products in a fast-growing company.
• You can systematically break down and solve complex problems, leveraging data, customer insights and creativity to set an ambitious long term vision and deliver tangible outcomes iteratively.
• You have a history of thinking outside the box and defining product offerings that successfully differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
• You have good judgement and have a track record of making good decisions in complex situations where there's often no "right answer".
• You are creative, have the urge to make the status quo better, full of creative ideas and capable of teasing out novel ideas and solutions from your team as well.
• You are deeply data-driven, and have a track record of collaborating with data scientists to define key metrics, run experiments, and deliver business impact.
• You are a compelling storyteller who can inspire, align, and energize diverse cross-functional teams toward a common, ambitious vision.
• You are genuinely passionate about Monzo's mission and committed to building accessible, valuable products that improve our customers' long-term financial health.
• You're passionate about building value for customers and not just achieving business results, and are excited about our mission at Monzo.
• You're intellectually honest about your work's performance, relying on data to measure your success and continually striving for improvement.
• You're a fast learner, humble and curious, and enjoy learning every day and sharing your knowledge and experience.
