We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award-winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo.

Our Executive and Board Hiring team

We’re a small but mighty team, working on roles across the whole business, from VP level (usually reporting into our Executive Committee) all the way to Board positions.

We are looking for someone to source, engage, assess and hire talented people for Monzo, whilst helping to continue to build our Executive and Board Hiring function and processes.

Reporting into the Head of Executive and Board Hiring, you’ll be a trusted talent advisor and have ownership of the full senior hiring process; from partnering with our leaders to establish their business needs, to proactively sourcing, engaging, assessing and hiring senior level candidates.

You’ll work across multiple collectives, partnering with our People team to proactively identify gaps and opportunities in organisations, providing data-led solutions, all whilst keeping an eye on the external talent market, identifying and communicating insights into how to run a world-class senior hiring process.

You’ll play a key role by…

  • Fully owning end-to-end hiring processes for finding, engaging, assessing and attracting senior talent to Monzo.
  • Working with leaders and people partners to advise on hiring strategy, identifying the skills that we’re looking for now and in the future and how to run a great process to assess for that.
  • Help shape the function, refining and streamlining process to add further value to the business.
  • Proactively managing senior talent pools and networks to build broad and diverse pipelines for future opportunities.
  • Partnering with our Reward team to craft and convey compelling packages.
  • Conducting and overseeing thorough research, bringing creativity in approach and knowledge to the team.

We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You have end to end executive recruitment experience with an ability to work across a range of business areas and a curiosity to learn about the ones you haven’t.
  • You care deeply about diversity, inclusiveness and giving candidates an amazing and welcoming experience. You’re empathetic, adaptable and respectful of a candidate's needs and priorities.
  • You bring a creative, methodical and structured approach to talent sourcing. Sometimes partnering with an Executive Sourcer, sometimes running this yourself, finding candidates from a range of backgrounds and experiences, leaving no rock unturned.
  • Experience concisely presenting your research and market knowledge back to executives using helpful data and metrics.
  • You’re organised, reliable and can keep a process on track; always sticking to timelines communicated to hiring managers and candidates and keeping people up to date.
  • You’re confident in challenging thinking, asking the right questions and are always driving and iterating for improvement. You use data to drive effectiveness and share your findings to always strive for better.
  • You have an excellent understanding of different executive compensation structures, including equity. You are skilled at developing compelling senior level packages and communicating these effectively.
  • You’re passionate about delivering incredible candidate and hiring manager experiences, communicating clearly, consistently and effectively.
  • Ideally, you will bring experience working in-house, supporting C-suite stakeholders in a fast-paced, high-growth business and have also spent some time in an executive search firm environment.

What’s In It For You
£70,000 - £95,000 share options.

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).

We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team.

£1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.

We will set you up to work from home; all employees are given Macbooks and for fully remote workers we will provide extra support for your work-from-home setup.

Plus lots more! Read our full list of benefits.

The application journey has 3 key steps

  • A recruiter call.
  • A call with the Hiring Manager.
  • A loop interview with members of the hiring team and a key stakeholder.


This process should take around 2-3 weeks - your schedule is really important to us, so we promise to be as flexible as possible!
