Analytics Engineering Manager

Our Analytics Engineering discipline works in the intersection between data, engineering and our collectives - Money, Borrowing, Operations and Financial Crime and beyond. The team is responsible for building downstream data models from backend services with the desire to make our Data Warehouse a genuine competitive advantage for Monzo. We want a discipline capable of building an amazing Data Warehouse to support decision making, Business Intelligence, key financial reconciliation processes and best in class analytics and Data Science.

We're looking for a leader to grow and develop our Analytics Engineering talent, cultivating high-performing teams and coordinating larger initiatives. As part of this you'll have the opportunity to guide engineers across Payments or Fincrime, helping shape our pipelines and models. We think Analytics Engineering and data visualisation go hand in hand, so we're looking for someone interested in mentoring engineers and guiding direction across both areas.

Managers within Data have two primary responsibilities; people and technical product. Your focus will be on helping engineers with their personal and professional development, listening and guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes. You will also be leading and participating directly in technical initiatives and helping Monzo shape its Data organisation, ensuring the team focuses on valuable work, shipping things with a level of care and attention to detail.

There will be a strong focus on delivering best practice across all of our data discipline and helping bring a new level of maturity around Data Governance principles, working in collaboration with others to deliver this.

We are at an exciting stage in our growth and have roles available in both our Payments and Fincrime teams, so do let us know if you’re interested in a specific area.
