â Our Design Team
Weâre a team of 115+ Product Designers, User Researchers, and Brand Designers led by Chief Design Officer Vuokko Aro. Weâre on a mission to make money work for everyone. Product Design is the largest discipline within the design organisation, with designers working in tight-knit squads alongside researchers, product managers, and engineers to solve real customer problems at scale.
We design for the âmagic moments.â Weâve built a bank that feels deeply human, not just functional, shaping how millions of people experience money every day. Our product is our personality. We combine research, empathy, and craft to turn everyday interactions into memorable experiences.
Now, weâre entering our next phase of growth and looking for exceptional design leaders to help define not only Monzoâs future, but the future of banking itself. Thereâs significant opportunity to shape the product, influence the organisation, and leave a lasting mark on millions of customers.
đ About the Role
Weâre looking for a Director of Product Design to lead design across Payments, one of Monzoâs most important and fast-evolving multi-market business areas.
Youâll partner closely with senior leaders across Product and Engineering to shape strategy, set direction, and drive exceptional execution across your area. Youâll play a key role in influencing the direction of both the product and the broader customer experience.
Youâll lead and grow a team of Product Designers, helping them do the best work of their careers while strengthening design thinking, collaboration, and craft across Monzo. As a senior leader within the Design organisation, youâll raise the quality bar and expand designâs impact, influence, and effectiveness across Monzo.
