Traveler-Friendly Insight

Fully Remote — But UK-Anchored: Monzo explicitly advertises this role as fully remote, which is promising for location flexibility. However, given the role involves UK payroll processing, employment references, and regulatory compliance for a UK-regulated bank, you should expect a strong GMT/BST timezone requirement. Async-friendliness is moderate — the flexible hours policy is genuine, but coordinating with People Partners, payroll cycles, and employees means regular overlap with UK business hours (9am–5pm GMT) is effectively required.

Visa & Location Considerations: The salary is paid in GBP, and the role handles UK employment law and regulatory references, strongly implying you must have the right to work in the UK. This is not a typical "work from anywhere" role — digital nomad visas in Lisbon, Bali, or Medellín won't help you here unless you already hold UK work authorisation. EU country experience (Spain, Italy, France, Poland) is a bonus, not a relocation signal.

Cost of Living Context: At £34,000–£40,000/year (~$42,000–$50,000 USD), this salary is comfortable for remote workers based outside London:

  • Outside London, UK (e.g., Manchester, Bristol): Very liveable with disposable income
  • Lisbon, Portugal: Generous, but UK right-to-work rules likely prevent this
  • Remote within the UK: Best realistic scenario for nomads already in the UK

Travel Perks: The £1,000 learning budget could cover conference travel. No explicit coworking or equipment stipend is mentioned.

We're on a mission to make money work for everyone.

Our People Operations Team ⭐

We are looking for a People Operations Associate to join us for 12 months to provide caregiver cover. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a high-functioning team and keep our core operations running smoothly during a period of leave.

Over the next 12 months we will be working on an HRIS implementation, so we're looking for someone with hands-on experience with HRIS design or systems migrations. Our team creates excellent employee experiences by designing and running reliable core people processes. We enable employees and managers by providing timely, accurate and user-friendly information, and we own core People Systems — making us the guardians of data accuracy and compliance.

Each day will be different, and you'll learn a lot about the inner operations of how a People team works. The people lifecycle covers everything from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between. You'll support owners of the people lifecycle to make sure we provide the best service to our internal community.

You'll play a key role by...

Managing core people processes:

  • Administering employee changes in our People systems
  • Benefit sign-up and opt-out administration
  • Issuing contractual change letters for our Monzonauts
  • Managing the offboarding process for leavers
  • Issuing employment references, including regulatory references
  • Supporting the compilation and checking of monthly payroll, and helping with pay queries
  • Managing caregiver leave and other leave processes
  • Answering general people queries for our Monzonauts
  • Acting as a source of knowledge for all people policies, procedures and ways of working
  • Managing our mandatory training programme, and supporting Learning & Development with administration and logistics for other required training programmes
  • Supporting Monzo's growth and expansion, responding to queries and managing robust processes across multiple EU countries

Auditing & Controls:

  • Carrying out audit checks within core people processes to ensure tasks have been fulfilled accurately
  • Regular data audits to ensure our data is accurate and complete
  • Ad hoc audits of critical documentation, for example: right-to-work documents, employment contracts, options certificates

Process design, improvement & projects:

  • Designing scalable People Operations workflows, supporting system migrations, and identifying opportunities to automate and optimise ways of working
  • Producing and continuously improving documentation for all people processes
  • Supporting our People Partners & Advisors, Reward squad, Hiring squad and others on People-wide projects

We'd love to hear from you if…

  • You have great prioritisation skills — we deal with a high volume of queries and tasks each day with varying levels of importance and different SLAs to meet.
  • You have great attention to detail — we're making systems changes and issuing contracts and reference letters which have to be right first time.
  • You have strong communication skills — we're the first point of contact for all things People-related and provide a delightful experience.
  • You have hands-on experience with HRIS implementations and workflow design, including supporting system migrations. You bring a strong understanding of People Operations requirements, can adapt processes to fit new systems, and proactively identify opportunities to improve and streamline ways of working.
  • You have an automation-first mindset — you enjoy finding ways to use AI or workflow automation to eliminate repetitive tasks.
  • Not required but a plus: experience supporting people operations processes across Spain, Italy, France or Poland.

The application journey has 4 key steps:

  • Recruiter call
  • Full interview loop, which involves 1 role-specific interview and 1 behavioural interview
