⭐About Ops Data:

Our Operations Data team consists of over 35 people across 4 data specialisms: Analytics Engineers, Data Analysts, Machine Learning Scientists and Data Scientists.

In our Operations Collective you'll have the opportunity to embed into an area that is the heart of how we work with our customers’ problems - and is full of data challenges. Machine Learning supports all aspects of Operations, from workforce planning, to customer support experience, to enabling teams to work effectively and efficiently.

As a Senior Lead ML Scientist, you’ll be on of the most senior Individual Contributors (IC) in the organisation, giving you a real opportunity to lead us into an exciting new phase of optimising Customer Operations, enabling us to craft a world-class support experience for over 9 million customers across the UK, and beyond as we continue to grow.

You’ll provide key technical leadership and ship highly impactful ML-based solutions. You’ll be empowered to work across the collective identifying the most impactful areas and pushing solution development forward while mentoring and levelling up less experienced ML practitioners. You’ll also impact how people across Monzo use ML tools to improve customer outcomes, including LLMs, which have their heaviest use within the Operations team.
