About the Role
At Monzo, our mission is to make money work for everyone, everywhere. We're looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead critical Platform initiatives that underpin everything we build. You'll support two major portfolios: our Data Platform evolution and our Platform resiliency programme. This is a high impact role that benefits from both deep technical understanding and strong cross-team leadership to coordinate horizontal projects across multiple collectives.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead end-to-end planning and execution of major platform programs that cross multiple teams and markets
Manage complex cross-collective programs:
Define program roadmaps and milestones, set priorities, manage trade-offs, identify and manage critical path and risks, ensure alignment with business goals and technical strategy
Navigate dependencies, timelines and sequencing across Platform squads and Monzo Collectives
Balance technical depth with program breadth - understanding both data infrastructure and distributed systems challenges
Drive effective decision making to remove blockers and maintain momentum across long-running infrastructure programmes
Shape operational effectiveness and engineering culture, particularly around reliability, incident management readiness, and data governance practices
You should apply if:
You have 5+ years of experience managing complex technology programs from inception to launch
You can communicate clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences, from engineers to executives, translating between technical details and business impact
You excel at coordinating work across multiple teams, managing dependencies in complex technical programmes where culture and tooling matter as much as technical changes
You build trust and influence without direct authority, and are comfortable constructively challenging technical approaches
You're comfortable diving into data, metrics, and technical documentation to make informed decisions in ambiguous situations
You have experience driving both technical delivery and organisational change, particularly around infrastructure, system resilience, or data governance
