Data Director, EU

Barcelona; Cardiff, London or Remote (UK)

Our take: The real work here is setting data strategy for Monzo's European expansion, making high-stakes bets before the data is complete, and building the team and learning loops a new market runs on.

If you light up at a blank page and a new market with no playbook, this is where you decide where the bets go and build the measurement a whole business will lean on. You will be the opinionated voice in the room, framing the questions before the data is complete and turning messy trade-offs into clear numbers. It suits someone who loves growing a full-stack data team as much as shaping strategy, and who wants their work to compound across country after country.
