Engineering at Monzo
We’re looking for a creative, entrepreneurial, and impact-focused Senior Director of Engineering to help us build one of the best, and most innovative banks in the world.
As a Senior Director, you’ll lead an organization of ~50 which will continue to grow over the next 18 months. You’ll be leading our main lending products including Monzo Flex, loans and overdrafts, homeownership, and cashback and rewards.
You should apply if you have:

* Experience rapidly scaling up healthy engineering organizations while retaining agility and quality of delivery.
* Ability to quickly build trust with, empower, and structure your teams to be high performing.

* Passion for deeply understanding your business and products.
* Ability to organize and evaluate the success of your team’s work by identifying key metrics and their drivers.
* Regularly push senior leaders to get to better solutions by challenging our thinking, based on data.
* Comfort in personally diving deep into the data to make good decisions in complex situations where there’s often no “right answer.”
* Over a ten-year track record of shipping successful, customer-centric digital products in a consumer tech company.
* A strong “bias to action” and ability to zoom into the details as needed to unblock forward progress.
