About our Data Science Team:

We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist excited to help build the bank of the future. You'll have the opportunity to super charge our user experience in 2024 and help us to build a bank that customers truly love.

At Monzo, we're building a bank that is fair, transparent and a delight to use. We’re growing extremely fast and have over 9 million customers in the UK, with over 100,000 new people joining every month. We’ve built a product that people love and more than 80% of our growth comes from word of mouth and referrals.

Enable Monzo to Make Better Decisions, Faster

We have a strong culture of data-driven decision making across the whole company. And we're great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. All our data lives in one place and is super easy to use. 90% of day-to-day data-driven decisions are covered by self-serve analytics through Looker which gives data scientists the head space to focus on more impactful business questions and analyses.

What you’ll be working on 

You will work together with a cross functional team (PM, UX/design, Engineering and of course other Data Scientists, Analysts and Analytics Engineers) to make Monzo the place where customers move, send and receive money in a way that feels magical!  Our ambition is to be the customer’s `top of wallet` card to pay in person, online, and while travelling.  We think Payments should be engaging, trustworthy, and remarkably simple.

Your day-to-day   

• Applying your expertise in analytics, data science, and data storytelling  to build a comprehensive understanding of our customers, identifying their needs and behaviours to improve product offerings and customer experience.
• Utilise existing data to support and inform customer research, enhancing insights and guiding strategic decisions.
• Guide and enable Payments teams to measure things that matter; ensure our business metrics are appropriate and that our event tracking is robust enough to power insights into customer behaviours.
• Initiate or help run A/B experiments to keep improving everything we do
• Liaise with engineers to keep making sure we collect the right data to produce relevant business insights

You should apply if:

• You're impact driven and eager to have a real positive impact on the company, product, users and very importantly your colleagues as well
