📍London/Cardiff/UK Remote | 💰£89,000 - £120,000 DOE + Benefits

FYI This is a 12 month FTC role.

The Monzo research team wants to change the game when it comes to finding what we already know, proactively surfacing what we should know, and detecting emerging themes we ought to explore.We’re looking for a strategic knowledge manager who can work with us to strengthen our knowledge building muscle as Monzo continues to expand.

⭐Our research team...

The Monzo research team is currently made up of around 30 User Researchers, who spend most of their time embedded in multi-discipline teams focusing on different areas, like Wealth products, or Borrowing products. We also have a growing research leadership team. You’ll work closely with our Research Operations Lead to futureproof the impact Monzo’s research has on product development and overall company direction as we scale. While the tooling and technical data management aspects of this project are key, the scope extends into the cultural and community aspects of enabling all of Monzo to get more out of our existing insights and data.

🔑You’ll play a key role by…

• Evaluating our research knowledge estate thoroughly (from the raw data, qual and quant, to reports and literature reviews) including relevant tooling and repositories, and how research is used across the organisation

• Identifying an operating model for research knowledge management at Monzo that will scale and meet identified user needs

• Creating the conditions for this model to be successful now and in future (scaling across markets, as well as growth and future needs)

• Defining how the data should be structured and catalogued to make it reusable and referenceable (including but not limited to metadata, taxonomies, etc)

• Defining a plan to update existing data

• Identifying and setting up tooling and/or integrations as needed

• Defining the rituals and cadences for building shared understanding

• Implementing the knowledge management operating model - launching and supporting, training all users, iterating based on initial feedback

• Futureproofing - setting up required rituals and checks for maintenance and updates

• Handing the system over to the research team - identifying and empowering champion users to not only maintain the system but also to use it to promote research insights, make connections, and engage with stakeholders to surface relevant research - an amplifier role that becomes especially critical in planning cycles

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

• You’re familiar with / have worked with user research or market research teams, and existing research repository structures and tooling

• You’ve worked as an archivist, librarian, knowledge manager, content designer or information architect - you’re adept at managing unstructured data, making sense of any mess

• You’ve got demonstrable experience in automating knowledge workflows, integrating data streams

• Experienced with leveraging LLMs and generative AI in structuring and surfacing knowledge

• Excellent analytical and communication skills

• Experienced in delivering transformation
