About the Role

We are looking for a Staff Data Scientist to help build the bank of the future. This senior individual contributor role requires deep technical expertise, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to apply both to Monzo’s most important and complex challenges. At Monzo, we are building a bank that is fair, transparent, and a delight to use, with over 11 million customers in the UK.

Responsibilities

Shape and lead the data strategy for a large domain or collective, connecting customer and commercial goals to a clear portfolio of high-impact Data Science work.
Identify, frame and lead strategically important problems where the path is ambiguous, dependencies span teams, and decisions involve meaningful customer, commercial, regulatory or operational trade-offs.
Partner with senior leaders across product, engineering, ML, design, research, risk and operations, bringing an independent technical perspective that influences strategy and turns it into measurable outcomes.
Establish measurement strategies and metric maps that clarify how customer behaviour, product changes and business outcomes connect, enabling teams to test assumptions and make better decisions faster.
Set and evolve best practices for experimentation, causal inference, forecasting, optimisation and decision science, choosing methods that are proportionate to the decision and its risks.
Remain hands-on where your expertise is most valuable: exploring complex data, designing analyses and experiments, building models or prototypes, and resolving the hardest technical questions.
Steward critical data products and initiatives end-to-end, ensuring they are robust, well-governed, clearly documented and adopted by the people who need them.
Balance pace and analytical rigour, making pragmatic trade-offs while protecting the quality, reproducibility and interpretability of your work.
Raise Data Science standards across Monzo through technical direction, proposals, reviews, reusable methods and thoughtful challenge.
Coach and mentor data scientists and analytics engineers, using live projects and wider discipline initiatives to build sustainable capability beyond your own individual output.

Requirements

Exceptional track record of leading complex, business-critical Data Science work from ambiguous problem framing through to measurable outcomes.
Experience shaping strategy across a large product or business domain and influencing senior leaders through clear, independent judgement.
Deep expertise across several Data Science disciplines and ability to set technical direction for work involving significant complexity, uncertainty or risk.
Proven ability to create clarity across organisational boundaries, resolve difficult dependencies and turn long-term strategy into decisive action.
Ability to communicate complex ideas, assumptions and risks with clarity, and maintain a consistently high bar for analytical quality, governance and reproducibility.
Credible hands-on practitioner with SQL and Python, while raising standards and multiplying the impact of experienced colleagues.
