Mission & Purpose 🚀

Our Mission in the Learning and Development function is to ensure operational teams have the training and tools to be the best that they can be. We have some big plans over the next 12 months and we’re looking for someone brilliant to help us execute. 

We’re looking for a motivational, learning and development specialist to lead our Core Services Customer Operations onboarding and ongoing learning at Monzo across the next 12 months. Customer Service Operations is now a 2500+ strong team, operating across 3 different sites and with many working remotely 💪

This isn’t banking as you know it — we are fast, agile and expect you to take ownership. We’re focused on our end goal of helping a billion customers across the world manage their money. Today we have over 10 million amazing customers, we’ve done this with a small, talented team, but we’re growing. Fast. One of our (many) next key missions is to evolve what we’ve built so far into a profitable, sustainable business.

We're looking for someone who is passionate about learning and development, creative in their approach, with experience developing and implementing customer service training in a regulated contact centre.  An ideal candidate will also be great at leading small internal learning and development teams focused on digital learning design that works for our distributed customer service teams (known internally as COps). 

We’d love someone with strong Financial services knowledge to help drive forward learning solutions in this area and they should come poised with a passion to learn more about Core Services within Operations  to then spearhead learning in this area too. 

 

⭐The Role …

You’ll lead a small team of trainers as well as developing and maintaining the onboarding and ongoing learning requirements, curriculums and learning materials for our Customer Operations People (COps) within Core Services. 

In this role you’ll work closely with the Customer Operations leadership team, our People team, Hiring and Workforce Management who forecast and produce the schedules for our customer service staff (COps). 

It’s a busy fast paced role, we’re hiring a lot of COps and we have lots of exciting changes coming up. You’ll need to be comfortable readjusting plans when things change often. Our training approach and digital learning journeys are at an early stage. You’ll be able to use your experience of different learning methodologies, techniques, tools and practices to make sure our training is the most effective it can be.  You’ll also be able to shape our ongoing training programme for COps after their onboarding journey and throughout their career as a COp. 

 

🔑You’ll play a key role by…  

  • Support and engage with the overarching  learning strategy - bringing this to life within Core Services  and breaking this down into a deliverable roadmap. 
  • Running and supporting learning & development projects such as the design and implementation of new learning solutions
  • Designing training curriculums, defining learning requirements as well as designing and supporting the delivery of skills and role training.
  • Planning training cohorts, working closely with the rest of the Training team, Hiring, Workforce Management, our Team Leaders (they’re called Squad Captains at Monzo) and TechOps to make sure everything runs smoothly.  You’ll have effective contingency plans in place just in case there are any hiccups
  • Linking directly with the relevant Senior Managers to ensure learning and development is proactive and supportive. 
  • Working as a consultant and offering insights and recommendations to drive learning solutions forward 
  • Supporting with frequent new product launches; ensuring the right training solution is designed and implemented to support.
  • Building and maintaining effective assessments to evaluate the learner performance, skills and knowledge
  • Monitoring and reporting on training performance and using data to drive continuous improvements 
  • Running and testing our controls - for example controls that make sure training is up to date, meets the needs of the audience and we have robust record keeping (attendance/pass rates, version control, etc.)
  • People management of a team of domain trainers: supporting their growth, workload and prioritisation. 
  • Responsibility for the accreditation of trainers. 
  • Building and maintaining relationships with Operations; having sometimes challenging conversations to advocate for training. 
  • Supporting multi-site training; working with outsourcing Partners. 

 

🤩We’d love to hear from you if…

  • Above everything, a can do, make it happen approach - this is a fast-paced, high impact role that is responsible for managing multiple priorities, supporting the Core Services operation to make things happen with speed. 
  • Last minute change doesn’t phase you - you’ll have experience planning onboarding cohorts in a fast scaling environment and amendments to plans will excite you 
  • You’ll thrive working with ambiguity and work to seek solutions, not problems 
  • You will be comfortable with context switching and supporting a variety of different projects/ workstreams at once. 
  • Time management is one of your superpowers and you’re motivated by meeting deadlines across a range of projects running alongside each other 
  • Lots of experience designing and delivering contact centre training
  • Have experience identifying and documenting learning requirements and designing and building training curriculums in a regulated firm
  • You’ll have a real passion for leading and developing trainers to deliver high quality training outputs, with hands on experience of doing so effectively
  • Written and verbal communication is something you do seamlessly - your team, colleagues and stakeholders love working with you as a result
  • Be comfortable analysing data, spotting trends and producing graphs and charts
  • Be happy being hands-on and take satisfaction in supporting colleagues, projects or tasks however big or small
  • Be excited by what we’re doing at Monzo. 
  • Have a risk mindset and a passion to improve things for our COps and customers 

It would be great if you also:

  • You have a background in the financial services industry.
  • Having experience designing and working with digital learning platforms, a lot of our customer service staff (COps) work remotely so digital learning is key.
  • Have learning and development experience in a remote working setting.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
