Our payments org

At Monzo, payments are more than just moving money from A to B. They are a core part of how customers experience trust, speed, and financial control every day. As a Senior Product Manager in Payments, you would help shape seamless local payment experiences, ensuring customers can pay and get paid reliably while continuing to modernise the infrastructure that powers millions of transactions behind the scenes.

The role also sits at the intersection of Monzo’s broader ambition to build truly borderless banking and expand into new markets. That means designing products and payment capabilities that work effortlessly across geographies, currencies, and customer needs, while helping Monzo scale into new markets with the same simplicity and transparency that defines the brand today.
You’ll partner closely with directors in Product, Engineering, Data, and Design to help shape Monzo’s payments strategy as well lead the relationship with multiple external partners negotiating to optimise product experience and commercials. We’re now gearing up for our next phase of growth, from 15 million to 20 million customers. To succeed, you should be excited about solving tough, ambiguous business problems with analytical rigour, commercial viability and execution effectiveness

  • Partner with marketing to explore and execute on a wide range of methods to increase awareness and adoption including (but not limited to) CRM marketing,  referrals, SEO and above the line marketing.
  • Develop strong partnerships with growth teams across Monzo to align with adjacent initiatives in the international money space that help to drive wider Monzo benefit.
  • Develop a deep understanding for the commercials of payments in order to inform decision making on where effort should be placed to drive optimal return such as identification of new partnership opportunities or negotiating existing partnerships.
  • Partner with our financial crime and anti-fraud teams to ensure we scale our offering while protecting customers.
  • Identify and build product enhancements in response to customer feedback and your own ideas on how we innovate in this space by utilising the talents of the squad you will lead, not least user experience designers and engineers. 
  • Be the hands-on product manager for the squad, prioritising efforts across multiple workstreams as we grow our international payments offering and maintain alignment with engineering leadership on these tradeoffs.

Your day to day might look like:

  • Leading and executing trajectory changing, cross-functional projects that align with the company’s strategic goals.
  • Collaborate with product, marketing, operations, and engineering teams to problem solve jointly and deliver initiatives on time and within budget.
  • Identify opportunities to optimise processes, drive efficiencies, and enhance project outcomes across Monzo.

  • Drive problem solving, research and data gathering to inform decision-making and project strategies.
  • Own analysing data, customer needs, market, competitive insights and commercial analyses to inform strategic decision-making
  • Develop and track project plans, KPIs, and success metrics, ensuring timely progress and measurable results.
