📍 London/Cardiff/UK Remote | 💰£120,000-£175,000 + Benefits  ✨

Our Work Force Management team ⭐

Customer Operations at Monzo is evolving into a real-time control system.

We’re moving away from traditional, headcount-driven service models toward a hybrid human + AI system, where automation handles a growing share of customer demand and human expertise is applied where it matters most.

In this world, operations is no longer about scheduling people — it’s about continuously matching demand and capacity in real time, across humans and machines, to deliver consistently great service at sustainable cost.

This role sits at the centre of that transformation.

You’ll design and operate the system that ensures every customer problem is resolved within SLA, while balancing customer experience, cost, and operational resilience — at scale.

You’ll work across Operations, Data, ML, Product, and Finance to build a closed-loop system that connects forecasting, planning, routing, and real-time intervention — and continuously improves over time.

This is not a traditional Workforce Management role.

It’s closer to running a logistics network, marketplace, or real-time service system.

🔑 You’ll play a key role by…

  • Owning service performance and SLA delivery across Customer Operations - accountable for outcomes, not just inputs
  • Designing and operating a closed-loop system that connects forecasting, scheduling, routing, and real-time intervention - continuously improving performance through feedback and learning
  • Building and running a hybrid workforce model (Human + AI) - treating AI and automation as first-class workforce components with their own capacity, performance, and failure modes
  • Leading demand forecasting and capacity planning, translating complex data into clear, actionable strategies for staffing and system design
  • Running real-time performance systems - monitoring queues, identifying risks, and leading interventions when SLAs are at risk
  • Shaping demand in real time through routing, prioritisation, and AI/human channel decisions to protect SLA and optimise system performance
  • Developing playbooks for operational resilience, including demand spikes, automation failures, and unexpected changes in customer behaviour
  • Evolving Workforce Management from scheduling to orchestration — building a system-level capability that scales with automation and complexity
  • Partnering cross-functionally with Ops, Data/ML, Product, and Finance to align service performance, cost, and scaling strategy

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You’ve operated large-scale, real-time supply/demand systems (e.g. marketplaces, logistics networks, or service operations at scale)
  • You’ve been directly accountable for service levels or SLAs in high-stakes, real-time environments
  • You have strong operator instincts — able to make fast, high-quality decisions under pressure, balancing customer experience, cost, and risk
  • You’re highly data fluent - comfortable working with forecasting models, metrics (e.g. MAPE, RMSE), and understanding how ML systems impact operational performance
  • You can translate model outputs into real-world decisions, not just analysis
  • You’re a builder-leader, experienced in creating teams, systems, and processes from scratch that scale across regions and time zones
  • You’re excited by the challenge of orchestrating human + AI systems as a single workforce
  • You can influence senior stakeholders across technical and operational domains, and drive alignment in complex environments

⚠️ What this role is (and isn’t)

  • This is a system-level operations role, not a traditional scheduling or contact centre WFM position
  • You’ll be accountable for outcomes (SLA, cost, resilience) — not just plans or processes
  • You’ll operate in a real-time, high-stakes environment, where decisions have immediate customer and business impact

🙌 What’s in it for you

💰 £120,000-£175,000 + Benefits

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
