- You’re highly organised with great attention to detail
- You've worked with high growth technology companies
- You’re a great communicator, both in person and in writing
- You have experience working with lots of stakeholders (internal & external), and adapting your working style to suit their needs
- You have experience of working on lots of different requests & tasks at the same time, and are able to prioritise the most important things
- You're comfortable dealing with shifting priorities and adaptable when things change
- You have experience in a highly operational or coordination role (not necessarily in Hiring)

- We’re looking for a Hiring Coordinator to join the Hiring team at Monzo. This role is a 6 month fixed term contract (covering caregiver leave), and will support the Product & Design disciplines.
- You’ll be supporting our growth by going the extra mile so that every candidate feels valued and respected, and moving mountains in the background to make interviewing with Monzo an effortless and delightful process
- Partnering with Recruiters, Executive Assistants and interviewers to schedule all candidate interviews
- Juggling complex diaries for our interviewers and finding ways to make scheduling easier
- Providing an amazing, memorable, stress-free experience for candidates during their interview process, including showing them round our London office
- Managing candidate travel and relocation, if needed
- Doing the onboarding admin for new hires and adding them to our internal systems
- Kicking off & monitoring background checks, including some in person right to work checks from our London office
- Working with People Operations & People Experience to make sure things are set up for new hires’ first day
- Working on projects to make all of our hiring processes run like clockwork
Application process
- Initial Call with Hiring Manager (30 mins)
- Take Home Task (max 2 hours)
- Role Specific Interview (45 mins)
- Values & Collaboration Interview (45 mins)
- Our average process takes around 2-3 weeks but we will always work around your availability
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Monzo is a challenger bank that fully operates online and offers a full range of current, savings, business accounts, and more. The speed of the challenger banks to provide a great experience has been impressive, and the number of competitors appearing has proven the consumer desire for innovation.
Monzo remains one of the popular online banks, with more than 6 million customer active users. The company faces competition as more traditional banks, such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, have launched their own digital banks. However, the new technologies that the company is built on enable it to expand quickly (with fewer issues) than the incumbent players' offerings.
With an increasing amount of people switching banks, the company's ever-expanding suite of banking and financial services (such as its buy-now-pay-later offering) has resulted in Monzo receiving the second-highest net switching gains among digital challenger banks (just behind Starling).
After setting U.S. expansion plans aside in 2020, the company launched in the U.S. market in early 2022, partnering with Sutton Bank to provide its U.S. accounts. After several years focused on narrowing its losses, Monzo hit profitability in the first two months of 2023. In the same year, 2 million new customers joined, tallying its customer base at 9 million in 2024.
