The opportunity

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

What you'll do

  • Shape and lead the data strategy for a large domain or collective, connecting: customer and commercial goals to a clear portfolio of high-impact Data Science work

  • Identify, frame and lead strategically important problems where the path is: ambiguous, dependencies span teams, and decisions involve meaningful customer, commercial, regulatory or operational trade-offs

  • Partner with senior leaders across product, engineering, ML, design,: research, risk and operations, bringing an independent technical perspective that influences strategy and turns it into measurable outcomes

  • Establish measurement strategies and metric maps that clarify how customer: behaviour, product changes and business outcomes connect, enabling teams to test assumptions and make better decisions faster

  • Set and evolve best practices for experimentation, causal inference,: forecasting, optimisation and decision science, choosing methods that are proportionate to the decision and its risks

  • Remain hands-on where your expertise is most valuable: exploring complex data, designing analyses and experiments, building models or prototypes, and resolving the hardest technical questions

What they're looking for

  • Steward critical data products and initiatives end-to-end, ensuring they are: robust, well-governed, clearly documented and adopted by the people who need them
  • Balance pace and analytical rigour, making pragmatic trade-offs while: protecting the quality, reproducibility and interpretability of your work
  • Raise Data Science standards across Monzo through technical direction,: proposals, reviews, reusable methods and thoughtful challenge
  • Coach and mentor data scientists and analytics engineers, using live projects: and wider discipline initiatives to build sustainable capability beyond your own individual output
