Our Work Force Management team

Customer Operations at Monzo is evolving into a real-time control system.

We're moving away from traditional, headcount-driven service models toward a hybrid human + AI system, where automation handles a growing share of customer demand and human expertise is applied where it matters most.

In this world, operations is no longer about scheduling people - it's about continuously matching demand and capacity in real time, across humans and machines, to deliver consistently great service at sustainable cost.

This role sits at the centre of that transformation.

You'll design and operate the system that ensures every customer problem is resolved within SLA, while balancing customer experience, cost, and operational resilience - at scale.

You'll work across Operations, Data, ML, Product, and Finance to build a closed-loop system that connects forecasting, planning, routing, and real-time intervention - and continuously improves over time.

This is not a traditional Workforce Management role.

It's closer to running a logistics network, marketplace, or real-time service system.
