About us: 

At Monzo we believe there’s a better way to do banking - we care deeply about our customers, are innovative and execute quickly.

Our mission is to revolutionise the way people manage their finances by putting them in control and promoting their financial wellbeing. Our Borrowing business is growing rapidly (both on our existing products, and with the planned launch of new products). We aim to create a genuine feel-good factor when it comes to personal credit, and are looking for driven, analytical and creative individuals to help us achieve this goal. 

We are scaling up our Data & Credit Modelling team to support the rapid growth and evolution of our portfolio. In particular this role will be initially focused on our FinHealth squad, which supports customers in financial difficulty. Strong data and analytical skills are a must. Experience in Financial Services and Credit is desirable, but not required. 

Monzo’s Borrowing Credit & Data team

Our Borrowing Credit & Data team is the largest and most diverse team within Monzo’s Data Discipline, and is also one of the largest parts of the Borrowing Collective. This team sits at the core of our lending business. We design products, decide who to lend to, set underwriting policy, track the volume of new originations, identify customers who need help, manage the portfolio, measure risk and compute the core metrics required both for Monzo’s senior management and for our external financial reporting. We set prices, build predictive models, run experiments, build dashboards, enhance data pipelines and manage Monzo’s credit risk.
