Special Projects Associate, Partnerships

📍London | 💰 £36,000 to £55,000  + stock options and benefits 

About us: 

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, test the app and give 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.

About our Special Projects Team:

Our small and high impact Special Projects Team works across the company. We identify and assess new opportunities, work with new and potential investors, and support our executive, product and operations teams with commercial nous and analytical thinking. We do what it takes to help Monzo grow.

To succeed, you should be excited about scaling Monzo, collaborating with partners and colleagues, navigating the regulatory landscape and using data to shape your thinking to build something bigger than yourself. We'd want you to apply if you are underwhelmed by the status quo of banking and finance today and are interested in bringing your brainpower, commercial and quantitative skills and grit to creating something better.

You can expect that you will come to work on a wide range of projects and you thrive on ambiguity. This means you will take a crucial role in a part of Monzo that you care about. 

There is no shortage of things to do as Monzo grows. Previous Special Projects team members have gone on to take senior roles in our Partnerships, Finance, Product, Operations and US teams.

You should apply if:

• You’re excited about building and managing strategic partnerships
• You're excellent at managing and influencing stakeholders
• You're commercially minded and excited to collaborate with partners to get the best outcomes for our customers
• You thrive in ambiguity, ask incisive questions and take a structured approach to problem-solving
• You're in your element understanding and solving complex problems, whether it is based on regulation, legal documents, business processes, user needs, technology or payment systems
• You're numerate and logic oriented
• You're humble but excited by what we're doing at Monzo
• The following would be a bonus:
• Experience working in a high growth company, particularly in financial services, banking or another regulated industry
• Experience working with investment firms and/or savings banks

The Interview Process:

Our interview process involves 4 main stages:  

• Initial Chat (30 mins) - this will be a chat with the hiring manager for the role
  
• Take Home Task - this will be sent out if successful from your initial call 
• Experience loop (~2 hours) - This stage consists of 3 separate interviews that usually happen across 1-5 days. This will be made up of a Problem Solving, Role Specific and Values interview. If you get through to this stage, your Recruiter will have a 15-minute chat with you beforehand to help you get ready and prepare for this stage. 

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 business-hiring@monzo.com
