The Role

We’re looking for a Director of Strategy who will partner closely with our ExCo to tackle key strategic priorities for the business to further accelerate our growth. 

You will be part of a small and high impact team which works across the company: the Strategy and Special Projects team reporting to the VP of Strategy who reports to the CEO.

You will also be working very closely with our finance, product, data, and marketing teams.

To succeed, you should be excited about solving tough business problems with analytical rigour, commercial viability and execution certainty, leading project-based teams, collaborating with partners and colleagues, and operating in a high pace and ambiguous environment.

• You have extensive work experience (10+years) and established yourself as a strong strategic business leader. 
• You spent 5+ years in internal strategy and / or management consulting and showed progression 
• You have made the transition into a line role and driven successful business outcomes (e.g. leading a product line and growing it, establishing / growing strategic partnerships)
• Your super power is solving complex problems and building winning strategies that can be executed 
• You are a great project and team leader
• You are excellent at managing and influencing stakeholders
• You are commercially minded
• You are a self starter, ambitious leader who is driven by impact 
• You thrive in ambiguity
• You are humble but excited by what we’re doing at Monzo

The following would be a bonus:

• MBA
• Experience working in a high growth company, particularly in financial services, banking or another regulated industry
• Specific expertise in the financial landscape of the US or Europe and the UK banking market
