Senior Product Manager, Payments

Our payments org

At Monzo, payments are more than just moving money from A to B. They are a core part of how customers experience trust, speed, and financial control every day. As a Senior Product Manager in Payments, you would help shape seamless local payment experiences, ensuring customers can pay and get paid reliably while continuing to modernise the infrastructure that powers millions of transactions behind the scenes.

The role also sits at the intersection of Monzo's broader ambition to build truly borderless banking and expand into new markets. That means designing products and payment capabilities that work effortlessly across geographies, currencies, and customer needs, while helping Monzo scale into new markets with the same simplicity and transparency that defines the brand today.

You'll partner closely with directors in Product, Engineering, Data, and Design to help shape Monzo's payments strategy and lead the relationship with multiple external partners negotiating to optimise product experience and commercials. We're now gearing up for our next phase of growth, from 15 million to 20 million customers. To succeed, you should be excited about solving tough, ambiguous business problems with analytical rigour, commercial viability and execution effectiveness.

We are looking for a customer centric, commercially minded product manager to lead and grow our Payments business. You will lead a multi disciplinary payments squad and on a daily basis be working to:

• Identify opportunities for growing adoption and engagement of payments and shape these opportunities through all phases of planning and execution - for both retail and business segments.
• Identify target audiences and prioritise efforts to attract and engage them by deeply understanding their needs and how to delight them. For these insights to inform a crisp understanding for how Monzo can win in this space.
• Identify partnership opportunities to enhance customer experience and/or the unit economics of payments and be comfortable leading these conversations and negotiations.
• Be a highly analytical leader with the ability to proactively assess opportunities by interrogating numerous data sources. You will be supported by data scientists but should also feel comfortable drilling into the available data yourself to help find novel opportunities.
• Use these customer and data insights to form a strong, defensible opinion on the highest value areas for investment (for example in our approach to pricing, customer experience, partner choice, marketing messaging and more).
• Partner with marketing to explore and execute on a wide range of methods to increase awareness and adoption including (but not limited to) CRM marketing, referrals, SEO and above the line marketing.
• Develop strong partnerships with growth teams across Monzo to align with adjacent initiatives in the international money space that help to drive wider Monzo benefit.
• Develop a deep understanding for the commercials of payments in order to inform decision making on where effort should be placed to drive optimal return such as identification of new partnership opportunities or negotiating existing partnerships.
• Partner with our financial crime and anti fraud teams to ensure we scale our offering while protecting customers.
• Identify and build product enhancements in response to customer feedback and your own ideas on how we innovate in this space by utilising the talents of the squad you will lead, not least user experience designers and engineers.
• Be the hands on product manager for the squad, prioritising efforts across multiple workstreams as we grow our international payments offering and maintain alignment with engineering leadership on these trade offs.

Day to day

• Leading and executing trajectory changing, cross functional projects that align with the company's strategic goals.
• Collaborating with product, marketing, operations, and engineering teams to problem solve jointly and deliver initiatives on time and within budget.
• Identifying opportunities to optimise processes, drive efficiencies, and enhance project outcomes across Monzo.
• Owning the P&L for cross border payments at Monzo, and a strong grasp of the unit economics and partnerships that power our payments products.
• Driving problem solving, research and data gathering to inform decision making and project strategies.
• Owning analysis of data, customer needs, market, competitive insights and commercial analyses to inform strategic decision making.
• Developing and tracking project plans, KPIs, and success metrics, ensuring timely progress and measurable results.
• Mentoring and supporting junior team members, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.
• Having a founder mindset and taking ownership of the work.
• Having the urge and resilience to challenge the status quo and make things better.
• Excelling at managing and influencing stakeholders.
• Being a persuasive communicator who can inspire stakeholders and influence decisions and project outcomes.
• Being commercially minded and excited to collaborate with external partners and other stakeholders to get the best outcomes for our customers.
• Thriving in ambiguity, asking incisive questions and taking a structured and data led approach to problem solving.
• Having a super power of understanding and solving complex problems, whether it is going deep into data or based on regulation, legal documents, business processes, user needs, or technology.
• Being data driven, numerate and logic oriented.
• Being a great project and team leader.
• Being humble but excited by what we're doing at Monzo.

Bonus

• Experience working in payments and/or the foreign exchange market is highly beneficial but not critical.
• Experience working on business transformation and strategy.
• Experience working on international expansion.
