London - Hybrid | 125,000 - 145,000 + equity + Incentive Awards tied to your performance + Benefits 

 

Our Payments team

Payments is at the heart of Monzo. Its how our customers move, receive, spend and manage their money, from cards and bank transfers to cross-border payments, merchant acquiring, payment experiences in the app, and the platform infrastructure that underpins the whole bank.

This role sits in our Payments Platform area, working most closely with our Finance Infrastructure squad. The squad sits in Payments, but partners deeply with Finance teams to build the systems, abstractions and capabilities Monzo needs to operate safely, scale efficiently, and expand into new markets. Youll work on foundational financial infrastructure: the ledgers, data, controls, reporting, reconciliation and platform capabilities that help Monzo understand, account for and manage money across the bank.

This is a role for someone who gets genuinely excited by complex, technical infrastructure. The work is often behind the scenes, but its business-critical: it helps Monzo scale, launch new products and markets, support Finance, and keep the bank running safely.

 

Youll play a key role by...

  • Defining the product strategy and roadmap for Finance Infrastructure within Payments Platform.
  • Partnering closely with Engineering, Finance and Payments leaders to understand what Monzo needs from its financial systems today and as we scale.
  • Moving the team from reactive delivery towards a more strategic, product-led approach, asking why were building things, what good looks like, and how todays choices support Monzos long-term needs.
  • Translating complex finance, accounting, operational and regulatory needs into scalable platform capabilities.
  • Prioritising across competing stakeholder needs, balancing urgent delivery with long-term system health.
  • Helping Monzo build financial infrastructure that can support multiple products, entities, countries, currencies and regulatory environments.
  • Building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Finance, Engineering, Product and Operations.
  • Bringing strong product discipline, technical curiosity and systems thinking to a space that is critical to Monzos future growth.

 

Wed love to hear from you if

  • Youre a strong senior Product Manager with experience owning complex technical, platform, infrastructure or financial systems.
  • You have enough technical depth to partner credibly with engineers and reason about systems, trade-offs, dependencies and long-term architecture.
  • Youre excited by boring but critical infrastructure, things like ledgers, reconciliation, financial data, controls, reporting, internal platforms, abstractions or backend systems.
  • You can work with senior and cross-functional stakeholders, including Finance, Engineering, Product and operational teams.
  • Youre comfortable bringing product thinking into ambiguous or stakeholder-heavy environments, and moving teams from request-led delivery towards long-term strategy.
  • Youre high-agency, ambitious and excited to stretch yourself in a team with a high bar.
  • You care about customers and business outcomes, even when the work is several layers removed from the end customer experience.

Not ticking every box? Thats totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo, were dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If youre passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply even if you dont have everything that's listed just yet. Drop us your application, wed love to hear from you!
