Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.

⭐️ The Insurance Team

We’re building insurance that actually works for people – no jargon, no faff, no feeling like you’re being caught out. Our mission is to offer simple, reliable and delightful insurance products that meet real-life needs, backed by great underwriting and claims partners to power seamless internal operations and exceptional customer experiences. We recently launched our first product line, Home insurance, with plans to expand across multiple insurance categories over the coming years. We're a small, focused team with ambitious growth targets and a chance to build something special from the ground up.

We’re looking for a commercially sharp operator to help drive the success of Monzo’s insurance products. You’ll manage key partner relationships, challenge pricing and underwriting decisions, and play a central role in launching and evolving new products. It’s a rare opportunity to join early, shape how we work with our insurance partners, and help us build the pricing and underwriting expertise we’ll need as we scale. 

Reporting into our Head of Insurance, you'll work as part of our multidisciplinary insurance team, while collaborating closely with the wider business. This is a foundational role with significant growth potential, board-level visibility, and a chance to shape a key part of Monzo's future.

🔑 You’ll play a key role by…

  • Managing our insurance partner relationships day-to-day — including tracking performance, delivery timelines, running RFPs, and holding partners accountable
  • Leading monthly pricing and underwriting reviews, challenging assumptions, and making sure our insurance products stay fair, competitive and commercially sound
  • Contributing technical input into the design of new insurance products — including pricing models, cover design and underwriting criteria
  • Analysing performance data to identify optimisation opportunities and drive improvements
  • Developing our internal pricing and underwriting frameworks, with a view to growing Monzo’s in-house capability over time
  • Supporting commercial negotiations with insurance partners — ensuring we secure strong terms and long-term value
  • Contributing to commercial planning and financial modelling — helping forecast performance and inform strategic decisions across the insurance business
  • Collaborating with Product, Engineering and Data to make sure insurance performance is embedded into how we build


🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You have strong commercial and partner management experience — ideally in insurance or another regulated sector
  • You bring experience in insurance pricing, underwriting or insurance product management 
  • You can engage credibly in pricing and underwriting conversations, and are comfortable reviewing technical insurance documentation or models
  • You have a track record of managing complex partnerships and influencing stakeholders to drive commercial outcomes
  • You’re confident in both internal and external representation — from negotiating with partners to aligning senior stakeholders
  • You can simplify complex technical concepts for different audiences, from engineers to executives
  • You’re excited about building something innovative in a fast-paced environment where you balance immediate needs with long-term vision


Nice to have (but not essential):

  • Experience in establishing pricing and underwriting functions from scratch
  • Knowledge of digital-first insurance propositions or insurtech models
  • Background in MGA or delegated authority structures
  • Understanding of the UK regulatory landscape for insurance distribution
  • Direct experience in Home insurance — our first product line 

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo, we’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply— even if you don’t have everything that's listed just yet. Drop us your application, we’d love to hear from you!
