⭐Our Personal Banking team

Our Customer Operations Advisers (COps) are all about Customer Experience. Our mission is to “Make Money Work For Everyone” and you’ll be part of a team that's here to make sure that customers want to tell friends, family and social media followers about the great experience they had with their bank.

🔑 How you'll play a key role at Monzo

  • You’ll be our customers’ first point of contact and your mission will be to make sure that they feel confident that their issue is resolved with little to no fuss. We get a wide range of contacts from customers - whether they’ve lost their card, need some help getting into our app or they’re looking for support with their gambling spend. You’ll know when to be empathetic, when to build rapport and most importantly, when to do what’s right for them by owning the contact until it's fully resolved.
  • You’ll also make sure that in instances where customers need to be helped by someone with a different skill set that they get to the right place quickly to have their issues resolved quickly.
  • You’ll also have transferable skills that will mean you’re able to help other areas of the business if and when needed during peak times.
  • We don’t expect you to know everything right now, don’t worry! You’ll go through training as part of your onboarding plan as well as get continuous coaching and support from your Team Manager and excellent peers.

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if 

You are positive, hungry to learn, take ownership of problems and above all else, always want to go above and beyond to give a great customer experience.

You do not need to have worked in financial services or customer service before. We’re going to teach you everything you need to know.

Some of the key skills and values that make a great COp at Monzo are:

  • A strong ownership mindset. You don't just solve a problem and move on; you see it through to the end and take responsibility for the outcome.
  • Proactive problem-solving. You're not content with a surface-level fix. You dig into the root cause of issues and work to prevent them from happening again.
  • Critical thinking and adaptability. You can navigate ambiguous situations and quickly adapt to new information or challenges, even when there isn't a clear, predefined path.
  • A knack for making moments magical. You turn everyday customer interactions into experiences that leave people feeling valued, delighted and cared for, even when dealing with tricky situations.
  • Empathetic end-to-end resolution. We empower our COps to handle a customer's issue from start to finish. You're committed to not just fixing the problem, but also making sure the customer feels heard and supported throughout the entire process.
  • A great communicator. This means being empathetic when you need to be, listening well, and responding clearly and concisely to customer queries.
  • Resilience. We deal with people’s money, which is an emotive subject, so sometimes our contacts can be tough.
  • Context switching. We work on a range of tasks, and one minute you might be speaking to a customer over the phone and the next you're replying to an in-app chat or social media post. All of these require different skills.
  • A passion for learning. You're great at picking up new skills and inquisitive enough to ask questions to understand more about what you need to know.
  • Excellent at balancing your time. You can give the customer as much time as they need while also being efficient.
  • Tech literate. Don't worry, you don’t have to know how to code. You just need to be able to use a laptop and pick up the systems we use.
