Immediate starter required

Please note: For this particular role, we’re only able to consider candidates who are immediately available to start on 10th August 2026

At Monzo we offer paid sabbatical leave to Monzonauts after 5 years of tenure. With several of our EAs taking this in 2026, we’re looking for an experienced EA to step in and provide seamless support to their leaders. This is a great opportunity to work across different parts of the Executive team.

We know that an excellent EA leads to better outcomes for our customers by enabling the performance of the Executive they support. This is why we are looking for a passionate, ambitious EA who relishes working in a fast paced environment where they have an opportunity to make a real difference. We generally work 1:2 / 1:3 depending on the workload associated with the person.

Joining a team of 16 you will collaborate with our existing EA team to keep Monzo running and to continue to raise the bar on what great support looks like.

Acting as a strategic partner to your leader

You'll develop a deep understanding of your leaders' priorities, challenges and goals, helping them stay focused on the work that matters most. You'll anticipate needs, identify opportunities to improve effectiveness, challenge where appropriate and act as a trusted extension of the leaders you support.

 Driving organisational effectiveness

You'll drive leadership team effectiveness by creating structure, improving communication flows, driving accountability and ensuring important initiatives continue to move forward. You'll be comfortable navigating ambiguity and helping others do the same.

Managing time, priorities and focus

You'll own complex calendars and competing priorities, ensuring your leaders spend their time where they can have the greatest impact. You'll proactively challenge, prioritise, make informed trade offs and make recommendations based on a strong understanding of business context.

Building strong relationships across Monzo

You'll build trusted relationships across the business and become a key point of connection between teams and stakeholders. You'll influence without formal authority to create alignment, remove blockers and ensure information flows effectively.

Leading projects and initiatives

From leadership offsites and engagement initiatives to process improvements and cross functional projects, you'll lead initiatives from concept through to delivery, ensuring momentum is maintained despite competing priorities and creating positive outcomes for Monzo and our customers.

Enabling decision making

You'll help leaders prepare for important meetings, decisions and conversations by ensuring they have the right information, context and insights at the right time.

Operating with judgement and discretion. You'll regularly handle sensitive information and support leaders working in a highly regulated environment. You'll exercise sound judgement, maintain confidentiality and proactively identify potential risks or issues before they arise.
