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. \nWith 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!\nWe’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo\nLondon or Remote (UK) | £68,000 - £88,000 + Benefits | 12 month fixed term contract\nEvery word we write matters. From what’s in the app, to job ads (like this one), to error messages, to emails, to internal policies, to… you get the idea.\nThe Writing team isn’t responsible for writing every word though - we’re here to level up Monzo’s writing overall. We have a well-established tone of voice, and people here really care about making sure all our writing is consistently good and works hard for customers. It’ll be your job to keep that quality up through the writing you do. But you’ll also be a champion for great writing by proving the difference it makes, and helping other people to improve their own writing skills.\nOur never-ending reason to exist is to improve the overall quality of writing at Monzo. That means a culture where care for language is the norm. Everyone, in every role, should understand how important it is to write in a clear, empathetic way, and they should all have the skills to do it. The outcome of that will be world-leading writing for customers. They’ll trust us because our writing is clear, effective and works hard for them.\nYou’ll get together with the other writers pretty regularly to review and showcase work, collect feedback and insights from one another and generally just raise the bar for words at Monzo.
