Machine Learning Manager, Fincrime

ABOUT THE ROLE We're seeking a Machine Learning Manager to lead a team of ML specialists in the Financial Crime and Fraud group at Monzo. This role will play a key part in shaping the direction of Monzo's ML efforts to protect customers from financial crime, while also growing a high-performing team. WHAT YOU'LL DO As a Machine Learning Manager, you'll be responsible for managing, coaching, and developing a team of ML specialists. You'll work closely with cross-functional partners, including Product, Risk Partners, Engineering Managers, Data Managers, and senior ML/Data colleagues, to shape roadmaps, unblock delivery, and make clear trade-offs. You'll also be responsible for creating the conditions for high-quality ML delivery, including model development, deployment, monitoring, governance, documentation, and ownership across the full model lifecycle. You'll hold a high bar for ML excellence in Fraud, including model performance, explainability, reproducibility, observability, and safe operation in production. You'll ensure that ML products are owned, maintained, and improved over time, rather than treated as one-off projects. Additionally, you'll contribute to the wider Machine Learning and Data discipline at Monzo, including hiring, improving ways of working, and sharing patterns that help other teams move faster and more safely. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you'll need to have experience managing ML specialists and delivering through others. You'll have strong ML judgement and be able to guide teams through the full model lifecycle. You'll be comfortable working in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces where there often isn't one "right" answer. You'll also be able to build trusted relationships with cross-functional partners and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences. WHY REMOTE As a remote employee, you'll have the flexibility to work from anywhere while still being part of a dynamic and collaborative team. You'll have the opportunity to work on high-impact ML projects that have real-world impact and contribute to the growth and development of a high-performing team. BENEFITS Monzo offers a competitive salary of £113,200 - £153,200, plus incentive awards tied to your performance. You'll also have access to a range of benefits, including a health plan, parental leave, education stipend, life insurance, and equipment stipend.
