About the Role
Core Banking's mission is to make everyday money magical for everyone. We're responsible for the products millions of customers rely on every day. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior User Research Manager to help shape the future of Personal Banking. This is an opportunity to lead research across one of Monzo's largest product areas, influence company strategy, and develop exceptional research leaders.

- Helping define and land parts of Monzo's global research operating model as we expand internationally, ensuring teams work effectively across both global and local markets.
- Connecting customer insights across collectives, identifying themes, opportunities and gaps rather than viewing research through the lens of a single team.
- Bringing together existing research, product data, market insights and quantitative evidence to help leadership make informed strategic decisions.
- Managing managers and supporting approximately 6-8 direct and indirect reports while maintaining a consistently high bar for research quality.
- Creating an environment where researchers can balance methodological rigour with the speed needed to build great products.
Requirements
- Leading senior researchers and/or research managers within a complex product organisation.
- Shaping and influencing product strategy through research at both organisational and executive level.
- Working across multiple product areas, bringing together disparate customer insights into a coherent strategic narrative.
- Navigating complex stakeholder environments where different teams have competing priorities, metrics and timelines.
- Partnering with Product, Design, Engineering and Data Science leaders to influence roadmaps and business strategy.
- Combining qualitative research with quantitative signals, product data and market insights to develop strategic recommendations.
- Building alignment across large organisations and landing new ways of working with multidisciplinary teams.
