The application process 🤝

  • Apply with your CV and answer the application questions

⭐️TOP TIP! We are looking for a high level of attention to detail in your answers

  • Analytical problem solving skills in the scenario based questions, whilst being customer centric and empathetic.
  • We would recommend you read through our tone of voice and try to align your application answers with this 🙂
  • If you're successful 🎉 we’ll invite you to a remote interview where you'll meet with a couple team managers from our Financial Health team 🙏

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo. 💕

What will you be doing?

Our Collections team are the financial health heroes at the core of Monzo 🚀 They are here to identify and support customers who may be struggling with debt, offering them compassion and options to help. They do this with their top notch understanding of Monzo’s award winning lending products, credit file details and something we call a ‘decisioning process’ - something we’ll teach you all about!

What we’d like to see from you:

  • You’ll need to have a background supporting customers, working in a contact centre.
  • We’d love it if you also have prior collections experience, but don't worry if you don’t, you will get first class training from our Learning and Development team when you join.
  • The ability to communicate with customers to the highest standard because we only want the best for them. You can ask open questions to understand their situation, listen and provide solutions - predominantly via our in-app chat with a small fraction of manual outbound calls (when requested by our customers) and emails.
  • From time to time things are complex so a keen eye for detail and a high standard of work will really help in this team.
  • Understanding and keeping up to date with our regulatory obligations and ensuring these are fulfilled in our customer outcomes (in line with the FCA).
  • Most importantly - you live and breathe people and customers like we do.

Here is a presentation from one of our FinHealth Hero’s to give you a flavour of what we do in this role:

  • You’ll receive a one off payment of £200 from us once you have started to help you set up your very own perfect home office space, you could buy a desk and chair with it - if you like.
