Job description

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 ️

You’ll play a pivotal role in driving our ambitious growth targets. 10% of businesses bank with Monzo Business in the UK. We’re now setting our sights on the switcher market - helping established businesses find Monzo. You’ll drive exploring, designing, testing and eventually scaling a sales go to market motion to expand our footprint in the switcher segment and create pathways for sustainable growth.

To succeed, you should be excited about B2B sales and be experienced in strategic problem solving for establishing a sales team, designing and building out a sales GTM motion and team, and running a sales team in a high pace and ambiguous environment.

• Developing and validating our sales GTM strategy: Collaborate with the collective leadership to develop & validate a strategy that aligns with Monzo’s long-term vision and business objectives: identify the best product, customer segments, and sales approach.
• Creating structure and focus for the exploration of sales GTM: Drive decision making, execution and measurement. Analyze results and make recommendations for action in a timely manner.
• Evaluating and executing the best sales model: assess the benefits of an in-house team vs. external providers, and implement the chosen approach (subject to your recommendation to go ahead or not).
• Testing and refining our sales approach: launch pilots, set up infrastructure, define key success metrics, measure success and iterate based on real-world insights - balancing scrappy and sustainable, scalable approach to move thoughtfully at pace.
• Executing cross-functionally: Work cross-functionally with marketing, product, and operations to create go-to-market plans and solutions that meet our customer needs and ensure seamless execution and alignment.
• Managing day-to-day operations: with a focus on performance against key sales metrics and to drive strategic decisions about sales as a GTM motion.

We’d love to hear from you if you have…

• Proven Sales Leadership: Extensive experience leading B2B sales teams in FinTech, SaaS, or Financial Services, with success in building and scaling high-performing teams in fast-paced settings.
• Hands-On Sales Experience: Proven experience as a quota-carrying B2B sales rep with a consistent track record of exceeding targets.
• Strategic Problem Solving: Experienced strategic problem solver with hands-on experience designing and executing sales GTM motions from scratch.
• Execution: Hands-on experience in setting up and leading sales in multiple models, whether building an in-house team or managing an external provider.
• Collaborative & Influential: Skilled in aligning stakeholders, resolving conflicts, and communicating effectively across teams to drive decisions and results.
• Data-Driven & Analytical: Comfortable leveraging data to define KPIs, measure performance, and guide strategic decisions.
• Motivated & Mission-Aligned: A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, passionate about Monzo’s mission, and eager to build a sales function from the ground up.
