Customer Operations Specialist

📍Remote (US) | 💰 $50,000 - $60,000 + Benefits | Hear from the team ✨

About us: 

Monzo is one of the top fintechs in Europe. In the last few years, we’ve built a banking app that our customers love – with extremely high daily engagement, an industry leading net promoter score, and award-winning customer support. We’ve raised over $1 billion from YCombinator, Stripe, Coatue, Eric Schmidt, Mike Moritz, and others - most recently at a $4.5bn valuation. 

We’re just getting started in the US: We’re a small team operating like an early stage startup but with the financial, operational, and engineering platform muscle of a larger company. We’re focused on launching an amazing US product, shipping and iterating quickly, and finding product market fit. We’re looking for highly driven, enterprising people to help us achieve our mission to make money work for everyone.


About You:

You're a recent graduate or someone with a few years’ work experience. You're keen to get involved in an early stage startup and excited for the opportunity to build Monzo in the US. You see customer support as central to the product we are building, and might use the knowledge you develop in this role to scale an operational area at Monzo in the future.

You’ll be a problem solver and a strong advocate for customer experience
We're looking for someone who isn't afraid to troubleshoot tough problems. When something comes up that no one has seen before you'll work directly with the rest of the team to solve the issue, and help build a process to tackle the same problem in the future. You'll listen to customers' concerns with positivity, empathy and patience. You'll fix whatever's up and help us stop it from happening again.

Customers are the heart of Monzo
In the UK we're known for our outstanding customer support. We're looking for help building the foundation for our Customer Operations team in the US. You'll be the first point of contact for some of our early US customers. You'll be tackling questions, identifying bugs, and feeding back directly to our product and engineering teams.

Our mission is to make money work for everyone, and while having a great app is part of that, having access to world class customer service is another. By solving customers' problems, treating them fairly and being totally transparent, we believe we can make banking better. This is a unique opportunity to help us shape what customer service will look like as we expand into the US.

• Proactively spotting patterns in customer feedback to see where we can make positive changes to our processes, tools, or product

• Dealing with tricky payments-related queries; investigating when things go wrong and making sure we set it right
• Supporting other members in the customer support team by being a point of escalation and mentoring new joiners. Making sure the rest of the company stays customer-focused and fixated on building the best banking product in the world
