We're on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We're waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.

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

☆About our Borrowing team:

Our Borrowing (lending) team is growing and we're looking for a Director to build and lead our credit risk function for lending to our business banking customers. The idealcandidate should have in-depth knowledge of lending to small and medium size sole traders and limited companies, automated decisioning and Credit Risk Management activities.

As the size of our Business Banking customer base continues to grow, we are building out lending products to support our customers' funding needs. We aim to create a genuine feel-good factor when it comes to business credit, and are looking to build a team of driven, analytical and creative individuals to help us achieve this goal.

With your experience of developing credit risk strategies specifically for small and medium enterprises and building best in class credit capabilities, you'll help drive the success of Monzo's borrowing propositions. You will lead a team of credit analysts and managers and play a pivotal role in refining our credit and pricing strategies, particularly as we introduce new lending products to the market. You will work with colleagues across Monzo to make sure we are building profitable lending portfolios and amazing products for our customers.

You'll play a key role by...

• Leading a team designing and implementing credit and pricing strategies for our business lending products
• Monitoring the performance of our existing strategies, and iterating to improve them
• Leading initiatives to improve our credit underwriting, boost growth and/or manage portfolio risk

• You have a deep understanding of how business lending works, including regulation and industry best practice
• You are passionate about customers and understand the role credit strategies and policies play in customer outcomes

• You have strong analytical and data capabilities, backed up by technical coding skills
• You can bring a dynamic energy to the team, and are keen for the chance to improve our products and help ship changes to our customers
• You are a clear communicator, able to cut through complex problems and articulate decision points
• You work well collaborating in a team with diverse skill-sets and personality types
• You are comfortable working in a fast-moving and changing company
