Analytics Engineering Manager, Core Banking

Analytics Engineering Manager, Core Banking

Our goal in Core Banking is to make everyday money work for everyone.

We’re responsible for the current account used by over 12 million users! We create the day‑to‑day money management experiences, including features like Trends, Salary Sorter, Bills Pots, and more. We build functionality for different audiences, including Joint Account users and Under‑16 year olds. Our team even builds Subscriptions, our paid upgrades that unlock extra benefits and functionality to help our customers make financial progress.

We’re now gearing up for our next phase of growth to 20 million customers.

Our Analytics Engineering discipline works in the intersection between data, engineering and our collectives – Core, Money, Borrowing, Operations and Financial Crime, and beyond.

The AE teams are responsible for building downstream data models from backend services with the desire to make our Data Warehouse a genuine competitive advantage for Monzo. We want a discipline capable of building a reliable and scalable Data Warehouse to support decision making in a cost‑effective and performant manner.

Managers within Data have two primary responsibilities; people and technical products. Your focus will be on helping engineers with their personal and professional development, listening and guiding them through hard times and celebrating their successes. You will also be leading and participating directly in technical initiatives and helping Monzo shape its Data organisation, ensuring the team focuses on valuable work, shipping things with a level of care and attention to detail.

There will be a strong focus on delivering best practice across our data discipline and helping bring a new level of maturity around Data Governance principles, working in collaboration with others to deliver this.

Working in a multi‑disciplinary team, you will:

• Be a hands‑on leader in building a discipline of exceptional analytics engineers working to make Data at Monzo the gold standard within the industry
• Nurture between 5 to 6 analytics engineers, supporting, coaching and developing high‑performing engineers through regular 1:1s, continuous feedback and relationships with others
• Aid prioritisation of initiatives and projects, working closely with other leads for each of our Monzo collectives
• Be hands on through participating in the review cycle, architecture and design leadership and development of your own changes to the pipelines
• Be part of the hiring team within Analytics Engineering
• Work closely with other leads to deliver a scalable, consistent approach to governance and best practices
• Drive effective project management of central Analytics Engineering projects, ensuring they’re well scoped and delivered to deadlines
• Establish yourself as a trusted partner to various collectives and the leadership team, with the capacity for getting things done, be it either hands‑on or by leading others
• We all own and support the pipelines we contribute to, and on‑call support out of hours will be expected from time to time as part of this role

You have experience managing or mentoring the performance and development of high‑performing engineers.

• You have strong experience in data warehousing architecture at scale
• You have experience and a passion for leading data warehousing, data visualisation, big data or ETL projects as an analyst, developer, designer or architect
• You know what it takes to hire great engineers within the data space
• You’re equally comfortable working hands on and leading a team

• Any experience working within a finance or banking environment
• Experience working in a highly regulated environment (e.g. finance, insurance, gaming, food, health care)
• Experience with any of our stack of dbt, Big Query and Looker

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo, we’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply— even if you don’t have everything that’s…
