Partner Strategy and Delivery Manager

01🚀 We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ❤️

02Our Global Ops Team ⭐️

At Monzo, our customers should receive great service regardless of where it is delivered. Turning our partner estate direction into successful outcomes requires clear programme design, coordinated delivery and strong ownership across teams and partners.

The Partner Strategy and Delivery Manager exists to determine how agreed priorities will be tackled. You will turn a strategic focus area or business outcome into a clear programme approach, define what needs to happen and lead the work through delivery, stabilisation and handover.

Delivery is expected at every level within the pillar. In this role, most of your time will be spent designing how an agreed priority will be tackled and leading the resulting project or programme.

You will contribute evidence and recommendations that can influence future priorities, and you will remain sufficiently close to the detailed delivery to ensure the approach works in practice.

03Programme design and definition

• Programme strategy & scoping: Translate strategic objectives into clear, actionable delivery roadmaps-defining scope, workstreams, sequencing, success metrics, and required analytical inputs for complex initiatives.
• Integrated planning & governance: Establish end-to-end plans, milestones, and proportionate governance models to manage dependencies, guide cross-functional inputs, and maintain clear stakeholder visibility.
• Agile adaptability & BAU transition: Design implementation, stabilisation, and handover strategies from kickoff, dynamically adapting programme parameters as business conditions evolve to ensure seamless transition to BAU.

04Analysis, recommendations and business cases

• Problem structuring & root cause analysis: Deconstruct ambiguous strategic issues into clear workstreams, synthesising operational data, partner insights, and team findings to isolate systemic estate themes from domain-specific matters.
• Holistic solution design: Evaluate estate-wide processes, services, and locations to build practical, evidence-based options that clearly articulate trade-offs, operational impacts, and strategic pathways forward.
• Business case ownership: Own the development of robust business cases, thoroughly detailing customer value, financial costs, operational benefits, dependencies, risks, and counterfactual impacts.
• Product & Tech integration: Partner with Product and Technology leads to design system and process optimisations that maximise operational efficiency, customer experience, and commercial return.
• Executive decision support: Author high-impact program proposals, decision papers, and leadership presentations to drive clarity and enable informed executive decision-making.

05Programme delivery

• End-to-end delivery & cross-functional coordination: Lead complex programmes from kickoff through to realised outcomes, serving as the primary point of contact coordinating workstreams, dependencies, and key decisions across Global Ops, GCOO, and partner organisations.
• Partner alignment & hands-on leadership: Direct partner working sessions to set delivery expectations, maintaining active hands-on involvement in critical path tasks while constructively challenging delays and ownership gaps.
• Governance, risk & benefit tracking: Embed customer, risk, regulatory, and resilience standards throughout programme design, continuously tracking performance against target metrics and adjusting execution to guarantee benefit realisation.
• Stabilisation, BAU transfer & post-implementation review: Oversee implementation and stabilisation through to formal BAU handover-ensuring documented ownership and metrics-and conduct post-delivery reviews to capture strategic learnings for future initiatives.

06Team and portfolio contribution

• Matrix leadership & coaching: Guide more junior colleagues across program workstreams, providing clear strategic context, quality assurance, and constructive coaching while empowering autonomous delivery.
• Pillar standards & strategic insight: Share emerging risks, dependencies, and themes with the Strategy Lead while contributing to consistent, pillar-wide governance, business case, and benefit-tracking frameworks.
• Cross-operational execution & mobility: Lead ad-hoc cross-functional initiatives across teams and partners, traveling periodically across UK and international locations to support discovery, sourcing, mobilisation, and stabilisation.
