About our Data Science Team:

We're looking for a Senior Product Data Scientist excited to help build the bank of the future. You'll have the opportunity to supercharge our user engagement in 2023 and help us to build a bank that customers truly love.

Enable Monzo to Make Better Decisions, Faster

We have a strong culture of data-driven decision making across the whole company. And we're great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. All our data lives in one place and is super easy to use. 90% of day-to-day data-driven decisions are covered by self-serve analytics through Looker which gives data scientists the headspace to focus on more impactful business questions and analyses.

What you’ll be working on

We work in cross-functional squads where every data scientist is a member of a central data discipline and fully embedded into 1 product squad alongside engineers, designers, marketers, and product managers.

• Applying your expertise in quantitative analysis, data mining, and the presentation of data to see beyond the numbers and understand how our users interact with our products and how those insights can inform our product strategy.
• Guide and enable product teams to measure things that matter; initiate or help run A/B experiments to keep improving everything we do.
• Drive together with the finance team a unified company-wide understanding of the lifetime value of our users and how different product features are impacting user profitability.
• Liaise with engineers to keep making sure we collect the right data to produce relevant business insights.

You should apply if:

What we’re doing here at Monzo excites you!

• You're impact driven and eager to have a real positive impact on the company, product, users, and very importantly your colleagues as well.
• You're commercially minded and can put numbers into business perspective.
• You’re as comfortable getting hands-on as taking a step back and thinking strategically.
• You have a self-starter mindset; you proactively identify issues and opportunities and tackle them without being told to do so.
• You're a team player whom your colleagues can rely on.
• You have solid grounding in SQL and preferably Python.
• You have experience in conducting large-scale A/B experiments.

The Interview Process:

Our interview process involves three main stages:

What’s in it for you:

We can help you relocate to the UK.

We can sponsor visas.

This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London).
