Enable Monzo to Make Better Decisions, Faster
We have a strong culture of data-driven decision making across the whole company. And we're great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. All our data lives in one place and is super easy to use. 90% of day-to-day data-driven decisions are covered by self-serve analytics through Looker which gives data scientists the head space to focus on more impactful business questions and analyses.
We work in a matrix structure, where you’ll be working day-to-day with the cross functional payments team (including designers, marketers, engineers, product managers etc.) but you’ll be part of our Product Data Team and reporting to a Data Science Manager so that you have the best of both worlds.
As part of your role, you'll:
- Own our payments data and make this easily available to stakeholders of all levels across the company
- Use your commercial awareness to solve the problems with the greatest business impact and choose the right approach for your problem
- Use your expertise to generate data insights to support the team to set and meet their goals
- Actively explore the user journey and performance of payments to enable the team to provide a seamless experience to our users
- Find enjoyment in contributing to data across Monzo by sharing your insights, contributing to our core data pipelines and proactively spotting opportunities for applications of your work in other areas of the business
What’s special about data at Monzo?
Autonomy. We believe that people reach their full potential when you can remove all the operational obstacles out of their way and let them run with their ideas. This comes together with a strong sense of ownership for your projects. At Monzo, you will get full access to our data and analytics infrastructure. When you discover something interesting, there is nothing stopping you from exploring and implementing your coolest ideas.
Cutting-edge managed infrastructure. All our data infrastructure lives on the Google Cloud Platform, so you don't need to spend your time configuring or managing clusters, databases, etc. All of our infrastructure is designed so that we can have really high data quality, and spend most of our time using that data to support business decisions.
Automation. We aim to automate as much as we can, so that every person in the team can focus on the things that humans do best. As with all data science work, there’s some analysis and reporting, and as much as possible we encourage self-serve access to our data through Looker.

- You're impact driven and eager to have a real positive impact on the company, product, users and very importantly your colleagues as well

- You're a team player whom your colleagues can rely on
- You have solid grounding in SQL and preferably Python
- You have experience in conducting large scale A/B experiments
