About our Product Team: The challenge of making money work for everyone is huge and complex. Imagine building FAANG level tech but in a regulated market - the possibilities are huge, but with exciting challenges paired alongside. The potential impact of Monzo is enormous and we’re only 1% done. Digital banking has 15-20% adoption globally. We have the opportunity to impact millions, if not, billions of people’s lives.   And Product is at the heart of all this and of Monzo’s long term success as a company that is looking to change people's relationship with their money. The product team, in collaboration with engineering, design, research, data, and business, set the vision and product strategy of Monzo and drives its execution in line with our goals. We’re still a scaling team with tons to accomplish across our business lines and big questions we’re answering. So the scope of your role as a Chief of Staff to the Chief Product Officer is massive and filled with opportunity! This Chief-of-Staff role reports directly to our Chief Product Officer, so you’ll be working closely with him on a daily basis and drive his agenda! You’ll be supporting him and the product leadership team in setting the product vision and strategy for Monzo. We’re looking for someone who’ll seed new initiatives and create effective processes, thus making our Product team THE place to be in the UK tech sector. What you’ll be working on:

• Collaborate with people across the company to drive impact and help unblock complex challenges, such as cross-collective product prioritisation, dependencies, and headcount 
• Support better business decisions by managing competing priorities, allocating critical tasks and solving for multiple stakeholders
