Product Marketing Lead, Core Banking

🚀 We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ❤️

📍London (UK) | 💰 £93,500 - £123,500, Incentive Awards tied to your performance + Benefits | Hear from the team ✨

We’re looking for a Product Marketing Lead to join our Core Banking Collective and shape the future of how people manage their money every day. Core Banking is the heart of Monzo: it’s where we build our account products (Current, Joint, Under 16s), our subscription plans (Extra, Perks, and Max), and our everyday money management tools.
At Monzo, Product Marketing is a product-market fit discipline, not a GTM marketing discipline. We work with PMs, Designers, and User Researchers, to shape and build products and propositions that are radically better than everything that exists today.

What you’ll be doing

As a leader in Core Banking, you’ll shape the strategy of a Collective of 150 people, coach a small team of product marketers and individually lead critical projects. You’ll be responsible for strengthening product-market fit across our core products and guiding the strategy for experimental bets in new verticals. You and your team will...

• Figure out what people want by partnering with Research to define target segments, understand their needs, and how the market serves them.
• Define what it takes to win by identifying what Monzo could do to meet people’s needs better and translate that into a punchy product strategy.
• Shape and deliver product roadmaps by partnering with Product Management to define and build disruptive products that strengthen Monzo’s product-market fit.
• Position products to be noticed and understood, making it clear why Monzo’s proposition is better than any other bank’s.
• Decide how we go to market by setting the timing and mechanics of launches, balancing the needs of the business with what resonates best with customers.
• Partner with Marketing by equipping them with everything they need to market our products disruptively.
• Level-up the Product Marketing discipline by setting a high quality bar, pushing pace, and introducing new tools, processes and best practices.

You should apply if…

Great Product Marketers come from all kinds of places. You don’t have to be in a Product Marketing role today to apply. Instead, please apply if the following sounds like you.

• You think deeply about how the world works. You’re inherently curious, and look beyond your business to understand people, competitors and categories
• You’re an experienced player/coach with a strong track record of leading people while contributing individually on key projects.
• You’re opinionated on what makes a product great. You use data, insight and product taste to shape the roadmaps of products that people love
• You’re experienced working in technical teams and are used to partnering with Product Managers, Designers, Engineers and User Researchers in your day-to-day
• You’re ambitious and want to build things that change the world
• You can set strategy and rally people around it. You’re confident in taking on gnarly, abstract questions and building consensus for your recommendations.

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 listed just yet. Drop us your application, we’d love to hear from you!
