Our VAIB team

Making money work for everyone is what we do at Monzo, but it only counts if it works for the people who need support the most. Our Vulnerability, Accessibility, Inclusion and Bereavements (VAIB) team is dedicated to breaking down barriers across the bank.

As External Partnerships & Engagement Manager, you will strategically manage a portfolio of VAIB partnerships that bring vital specialist expertise and enhanced support to Monzo's most vulnerable customers.

Ultimately, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate this external insight and lived experience into tangible, practical improvements across our products, services, and customer journeys.

• Manage Partnership Lifecycles: Own the end-to-end portfolio of VAIB external partnerships, from identifying strategic opportunities to onboarding, ongoing relationship management, and appropriate exits.
• Drive Data-Led Impact: Continuously evaluate partnership performance using data and operational feedback, clearly reporting successes and confidently acting to strengthen or stop underperforming relationships.
• Oversee Governance and Risk: Partner with Supplier Operations to conduct robust due diligence, ensuring all external relationships strictly adhere to Monzos risk, governance, and regulatory expectations.
• Translate Insights into Action: Leverage specialist partner knowledge to identify opportunities and drive tangible improvements across vulnerable customer journeys, products, and support strategies.
• Lead Lived-Experience Research: Own the Signposting Standard and collaborate with the Research team to capture lived experiences, turning best-practice insights into clear cross-functional recommendations.
