Engineering Manager in Growth at Monzo:

You’ll be the Engineering Manager in two cross-functional teams that are tasked with driving new user acquisition. Your remit will be across a broad domain ranging from in-app product improvements, to improving our public facing website, and partnering with marketers. You’ll also lead the team that built the Year in Monzo experience and is working on Shared Tabs improvements.

If you’re the kind of Engineering Manager who is passionate about having top line company level impact, then this is the role for you. You’ll need to be comfortable working with a range of disciplines to ensure that your teams are aligned to delivering on initiatives that balance meeting real user needs with helping to move the needle on user growth and engagement. It’s helpful if you have prior growth experience, but not essential as we’ve got a team of people experienced in growth you can learn from, but it’s important to hold a data and hypothesis driven mindset.

Is this role right for you?

While this is not a role which requires hands-on-coding, we are looking for an experienced manager who has a strong technical and delivery background and has worked as a software engineer in previous roles.

We recognise that Engineering Managers lead in different ways, we’re looking for someone who: 

• Delivery and Execution: Enjoys taking accountability for delivery across your squad(s), collaborating with the Technical Lead and Product Manager.
• Engineering and Operational Excellence: Actively fosters a high bar for engineering excellence within your teams. You’re accountable for the technical outcomes your teams deliver alongside individual engineer performance and growth, so holding a high bar (and clearly articulating your expectations) is key.
• People Leadership: Is able to lead a group of around ~10 engineers and support, coach and develop them through their career with regular 1:1s and continuous feedback.
• Technical Influence: Partners with senior engineers to drive technical initiatives that raise the bar for our engineering practices.
• Stakeholder Relationships: Builds strong stakeholder relationships with other teams, and creates a focus space for engineers to do their best work.
• Organisational Wide Impact: Collaborates with the wider engineering organisation to contribute to company-wide best managerial and technical practices and standards.

Nice to have:

• If you have experience working in growth, customer acquisition or experimentation led environments.

We consider your application across all open EM roles at Monzo independent of which role you've applied for, so if you've recently applied to a similar role at Monzo and have been unsuccessful, please wait 6 months before applying again.

The interview process:

Our interview process involves three main stages

- Team and Org Management (1 hour)An example based interview with 1-2 of our engineering leaders. They’re interested to hear examples from your previous experience on the teams you’ve led, how you’ve shaped and partnered with product, and the impact you had.

- System Design (1 hour)You'll partner with a Staff or Principal Engineer on a technical whiteboarding exercise.

- Behavioural (1 hour)Similar to Team and Org Management, this is an example based interview with 1-2 Engineering Leaders. This interview focuses on your people leadership style and core behaviours as an Engineering Manager.

- Chat with an Engineering Leader (30 mins)At Monzo, we believe interviews are a two-way street. This will be your opportunity to ask us any questions about Monzo, engineering leadership or our teams – whatever’s on your mind. 

All things going well, you'll have completed the hiring process 🚀

Our average process takes around 3-4 weeks but we will always work around your availability. You’ll have the chance to speak to our recruitment team throughout the process. If you’d like to ask a question sooner, email tech-hiring@monzo.com. Please also use that email to let us know if there's anything we can do to make your application process easier for you, because of disability, neurodiversity or any other personal reason.
