Senior Product Manager, Credit Platform

📍London or Remote UK | 💰 £95,000 - £125,000 + Benefits | Product at Monzo | Hear from the team

About our Credit Platform team:

Credit Platform is a new team with a mission to empower Monzo’s credit teams to become the best credit teams across Europe. Making the right credit decisions is central to growing Monzo safely – and we aspire to be industry leaders in how we operate. That means taking a fresh look at everything from how we ingest new data sources, develop new scorecards, propose and run credit experiments, monitor our portfolio and much more.

The team’s remit is to build products throughout the end-to-end credit lifecycle. These might allow our credit analysts in the UK to focus on the most impactful parts of their job by providing better ways to do both routine analysis and bespoke investigations. Or they might support our credit analysts in new countries to compose and configure a set of models and rules tailored to the local environment, without needing to start from scratch. Or they might even radically redefine how we approach credit strategy altogether.

What you’ll be working on:

• You’ll lead a cross-functional team to build products that improve how we make credit decisions. You’ll do this by building a deep understanding of the credit domain and needs of credit analysts, as well as understanding what is and isn’t possible from commercial, operational and technical perspectives. You’ll use this to set a product strategy.
• You’ll communicate effectively with people of all levels of seniority. You’ll get people inspired by the product vision and you’ll share the right context with the right people at the right time.
• You’ll lead planning processes and associated roadmap prioritisation to get your team working on the highest impact priorities that contribute to wider business goals. 
• You’ll work iteratively and collaboratively with credit risk, engineering (especially analytics engineers), research, data science, compliance and many others to refine your plan and execute against it effectively.
• You’ll help to shape product strategy across Monzo by sharing insights from your work.

Your day-to-day   

• Working closely with credit risk experts to understand the problems they’re trying to solve and to identify opportunities to work better with technology
• Partnering with backend and analytics engineers to explore different solutions for speeding up changes to our credit decisioning rules
• Presenting your latest product strategy to stakeholders at Product Review and gathering feedback and challenge
• Reasoning through trade-offs in building fast or building for future use cases
• Speaking to partners and forming opinions on whether to build our own decisioning infrastructure in a new country or partner with others

You should apply if:

• You don’t need to have worked in credit before. Instead, you might have built products to transform how internal teams work, or worked in similar optimisation domains like payments or advertising, or tackled the problem of scaling infrastructure to new geographies.
• You’re comfortable contributing to discussions about systems architecture and fluent in data. You’re not phased by going into detail about technicalities, and while you might not always be the expert on a technical topic, you learn fast.
• You start from first principles. You’re a systems thinker: you can look at processes and technology and spot better ways of doing things. You’re not afraid to ask the “obvious” questions and you use the answers to challenge the status quo.
• You’re data driven, passionate about metrics, and intellectually honest about how your work is performing -- and driven to continuously improve it.
• You’re full of novel ideas and creative solutions, and able to tease them out of others too.
• You can work effectively with a diverse range of people and working styles to get stuff done, and are able to thoughtfully and constructively challenge and influence the people you work with.
• You have the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively to a wide range of audiences, and in a structured way.
• You’re a fast learner, humble and curious, and enjoy developing yourself and others.
• What we’re doing here at Monzo excites you!
