Senior Legal Counsel, Commercial, IP & AI
🚀 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 ❤️

We're looking for a Senior Legal Counsel, Commercial, IP & AI to join our UK Legal team at Monzo and help us build one of the best, most innovative banks in the world.
You will report to Monzo’s Principal Legal Counsel, Commercial, IP & AI in the UK Legal team, which forms part of our wider Legal & Board Governance Collective.
This role will have day-to-day responsibility for advising on commercial contracts, IP & AI matters for our UK business. You’ll lead on a wide range of legal matters with opportunities for growth in role as the business scales.
In this role, you will work at all levels in the organisation and in close partnership with a wide-range of stakeholders including our Marketing, Procurement, Third Party Risk Management, Data Protection, Security, Risk & Control and Compliance teams. Your clients will span all collectives of Monzo’s business, from Operations to Brand and everything in between.
No two days are the same in Monzo’s Legal team. This is not your typical legal role; so we’re not looking for a typical person.
On any given day you may be advising on a sports sponsorship, or the launch of the Monzo book, or a material outsourcing agreement, or the implementation of artificial intelligence technology - you’ll need to be curious and keen to learn.
Ultimately, we’re looking for a collaborative problem-solver with exceptional technical expertise who is willing to roll up their sleeves to help deliver products and services that delight our customers, raise standards, and contribute to our mission.
If this sounds like you, then please get in touch.
Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement.
At Monzo, we’re dedicated to creating an inclusive and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply - even if you don’t have everything that's listed just yet. Drop us your application, we’d love to hear from you!
