Join to apply for the Senior Brand Designer role at Monzo Bank

Overview

We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone. We’re moving away from traditional, complicated banking and continue to expand Monzo’s product offering in the UK, including personal and business accounts, joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account, and UK credit cards. Our UK customers can also save, invest, and manage pensions with us. We’re known for hot coral cards, get-paid-early, financial education on social media, and award-winning customer service. We focus on solving problems and changing lives through Monzo, not just selling products.
