## Description

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

As an Engineering Director, you'll lead a distributed engineering organisation across the UK, Spain, and remote locations.

## Responsibilities

- Lead a distributed engineering organisation spanning multiple squads, markets, and countries.

- Build and develop Engineering Managers, Senior Engineering Managers, and senior technical leaders.

- Partner with Product, Design, Data, Research, Operations, Risk, and Compliance leaders to define and execute Monzo's European strategy.

- Drive alignment and execution across numerous collectives to ensure Europe receives the capabilities it needs to succeed.

- Shape how Monzo approaches market expansion, localisation, regulatory requirements, and multi-market product development.

- Influence priorities and outcomes across teams that do not directly report to you.

- Create clarity and momentum in highly ambiguous problem spaces where ownership and solutions are not always obvious.

- Design and evolve organisational structures, operating models, and planning processes that allow Monzo to scale effectively across Europe.

- Help identify and validate product-market fit in new markets while balancing short-term delivery and long-term strategic investments.

- Partner closely with executive leadership to shape the future of Monzo's European business.

## Requirements

- Experience leading large engineering organisations through other leaders, including Engineering Managers, Senior Engineering Managers, and senior individual contributors.

- Successfully operated in highly complex organisations where outcomes depend on collaboration across many teams and functions.

- Exceptional at building relationships and influencing without direct authority.

- Can navigate ambiguity and create clarity where goals, ownership, or priorities are not yet fully defined.

- Experience scaling organisations through periods of rapid growth, organisational change, or market expansion.

- Enjoy solving organisational and business problems, not just technical ones.

- Can balance strategy and execution, translating ambitious goals into tangible outcomes.

- Comfortable making decisions in environments where there is rarely a perfect answer.

- Strong track record of building high-performing leadership teams and developing future leaders.

- Energised by the challenge of building something new and helping shape the future of Monzo's international expansion.
