Monzo is an exciting combination of a bank and tech start-up, started from scratch in February 2015 to build a bank that makes money work for everyone. We’re focussed on solving problems, rather than selling financial products, making your financial life simpler, and giving you complete control from your smartphone.

We’re the largest digital only challenger bank in the UK, with over 15 million customers. As we continue to grow, we want to make sure we’re really living our mission of making money work for everyone.

You’ll work closely with teams across the company as we establish our presence in the EU and expand Monzo’s offering to US consumers.

You’re passionate about Monzo, our mission, and you want to drive positive impact and change for our customers.
You have experience working in policy, whether as part of a policy team, a public affairs team, a think tank or similar.
