## Description

We're looking for a strategic, commercially minded, and data-driven Senior Strategy and Operations Manager, who will be an individual contributor and help shape the future of Payments at Monzo. You'll play a critical role in supporting the GM of Payments and the leadership team to define, measure, and drive our strategy - balancing long-term vision with the realities of day-to-day delivery.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role, ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex problems, is fuelled by strategic thinking, and enjoys using data to bring clarity to ambiguity. You'll move seamlessly between blue-sky thinking and tactical execution - one day modelling the impact of a new product bet, the next helping optimise how we run the collective.

You'll bring a birds-eye view across Payments's portfolio - ensuring our goals, investments, and initiatives line up coherently with each other and with Monzo's broader mission. And you'll be the connective tissue that keeps us operating effectively: tracking performance, surfacing insights, and making sure we're focused on what really matters.

You'll play a key role by…

 * Driving strategic clarity: Supporting the GM of Payments and leadership team in defining, tracking, and evolving Payments's strategic direction to align with Monzo's wider mission
 * Data-Driven Problem Solving: Actively dive into large, complex datasets to uncover insights, diagnose operational challenges, and independently design and implement scalable solutions.
 * Translating data into action: Building and maintaining data-informed views of performance across products, squads, and initiatives; using insights to inform priorities and trade-offs
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data and Design teams to bridge the gap between ideas and strategic business execution
 * Owning business performance rhythm: Leading monthly business reviews, reporting, and governance materials to keep the collective aligned and accountable
 * Shaping new opportunities: Scoping new bets through market sizing, commercial modelling, partnerships evaluation, and budget/forecast analysis
 * Making the org more effective: Optimising how we balance KTLO, BAU, and growth work; supporting resourcing and squad setup decisions across the collective
 * Connecting the dots: Ensuring consistent communication and alignment across Payment squads, and with other Monzo collectives
 * Scale & Geographic Expansion: Playing a pivotal role in scaling our lending book and supporting launch operations as we expand our Borrowing products into new geographies
 * Bringing teams together: Leading Payments All Hands, goals processes, and strategic forums that ensure cohesion and momentum across the collective
