You will partner closely with leadership to build a seamless, data-driven foundation for Monzo’s global workforce.
This is a brilliant time to join Monzo. You will inherit a talented, established group of SMEs at a pivotal transition time for the organisation as we implement our new HRIS (Workday), accelerate the adoption of AI technologies across the organisation, and are expanding the business into Europe.

- You’ll collaborate with your team leads to manage strategic relationships and optimise commercial budgets with external tech vendors and operational partners, ensuring we select, negotiate, and implement the highest-quality solutions for Monzo's scaling needs
- You’ll champion and uphold strong governance, control frameworks, and auditable processes across payroll, mobility, and systems to protect the integrity of our data, ensure compliance with localised employment laws, and pass financial audits with flying colours
- You’ll oversee the review of Monzo’s global payroll infrastructure and operations
- People Operations & Payroll Lead - lead a team of payroll and people operations associates
- Head of People Technology (Systems & Data) - responsible for a team of people systems and data experts, owner of HRIS implementation and our full people systems stack

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…
- You’ve got extensive experience designing and leading People Operations and Technology strategies at scale, and you’re just as comfortable moving from high-level organisational design to getting your hands dirty
- You know the inner workings of People infrastructure inside and out - from payroll cycles and global mobility frameworks to managing complex enterprise HRIS ecosystems (ideally with direct exposure to Workday implementations or governance) - and you excel at navigating global, matrixed environments
- You are a collaborative, consultative leader and expert stakeholder manager, comfortable partnering with our VP and C-suite team to translate complex technical, compliance, or operational challenges into clear, business-focused narratives
- You are deeply clued up on GDPR, data privacy laws, localised payroll regulations, and international employment compliance.
- And of course, you’re an inspiring, passionate people leader who loves enabling and supporting technical experts and SMEs, fostering continuous development and improved ways of working.
