? About the role:

We are building a world-class Executive Hiring function at Monzo, and we’re looking for an Executive Sourcer to help shape it.

This is a role with both strategic and hands-on impact. You’ll take the lead on building the frameworks and methodologies that underpin how we identify and engage executive and board-level talent. You’ll design and embed best-in-class research and sourcing practices, lead on succession planning for critical leadership roles, and play a central role in how Monzo builds long-term relationships with the senior leaders in the market.

Alongside this, you’ll work in close partnership with Executive Recruiters, co-creating the ways of working framework that defines how sourcing and recruiting collaborate — from research strategy and touchpoints, through to delivery and stakeholder updates.

You’ll still roll up your sleeves to deliver on live searches, but your impact will go beyond filling roles you’ll be instrumental in shaping the future of Monzo’s leadership hiring.

?? What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading the design of Monzo’s executive sourcing framework setting standards for research, mapping, and candidate engagement.
  • Partnering with Executive Recruiters on live searches, co-owning the sourcing and research strategy, and ensuring smooth collaboration.
  • Designing and embedding a framework for recruiter-sourcer partnership (e.g., role kick-offs, milestone check-ins, stakeholder touchpoints, feedback loops).
  • Building succession pipelines for C-suite and board roles, prioritising where you spend your time for impact.
  • Creating and maintaining in-depth market maps of leadership talent in market, and adjacent industries.
  • Acting as a trusted research advisor to sourcing colleagues, recruiters and senior stakeholders, bringing deep market insights and competitive intelligence.
  • Building and maintaining long-term relationships with senior leadership talent for both immediate and future opportunities.
  • Contributing to projects that establish Monzo as a benchmark for executive and board hiring excellence.

?? You should apply if:

  • You have significant experience sourcing and researching at the executive or board level, either in-house or in a top-tier executive search firm.
  • You’ve led or built sourcing/research frameworks and want to apply that expertise to continue to shape an in-house function.
  • You have deep experience in succession planning / proactive pipelining building for senior leadership roles.
  • You have a track record of partnering effectively with executive recruiters, and ideally have experience shaping recruiter-sourcer ways of working.
  • You’re as comfortable designing strategy as you are executing the research behind it.
  • You bring credibility, discretion, and gravitas when partnering with senior stakeholders.
  • You care deeply about diversity, inclusiveness, and delivering an exceptional candidate experience.
  • You’ve worked in-house in a high-growth business and/or have exposure to financial services or technology industries.

??What’s in it for you

??This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London)

?We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team.

??£1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.

??We will set you up to work from home; all employees are given Macbooks and for fully remote workers we will provide extra support for your work-from-home setup.
