About the Company

Giving everyone the means to get more out of life. Moneybox is a wealth management platform, but we're guided by our belief that wealth isn't about the money. It's about the means to more - more freedom and possibility, more opportunities and more peace of mind. And we're on a mission to give everyone the means to get more out of life. Millions of us go through life feeling like we should be doing more to get on top of our money. But we leave it at the bottom of our to-do lists, because we're not sure where to get started or how to take the next step. This isn't surprising when: Most of us weren't taught about saving and investing at school. We're confronted by a complex, fragmented, and confusing industry. Getting help making decisions about money has traditionally been reserved for a privileged few. This leaves us feeling anxious and uncertain, and we end up with less money for the things that really matter to us. At Moneybox, we believe that building wealth throughout life, and all of the freedom, opportunities, and peace of mind that come with it, should be possible for everyone. We launched in 2016 and helped thousands of people start investing with just their spare change. Today, we're now helping more than one million people build wealth throughout their lives. Whether they're saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement, our customers will get a service they can rely on, that supports them through every step, and celebrates with them along the way.

Responsibilities

  • ● About Moneybox
  • ● At Moneybox, our mission is to give everyone the means to get more out of life. We're guided by our belief that wealth isn't about the money, it's about the means to more - more freedom, opportunities, possibilities, and peace of mind. Moneybox is an award-winning wealth management platform, helping over one and a half million people build wealth throughout their lives, whether they're saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement.
  • ● Moneybox engineering serves more than 2M customers and runs a live service handling over 20M API requests a day. We have agreed a company-wide AI Platforms strategy, backed by a business case, and we are now building the team to deliver it. This is a newly created function and you will be its first hire.
  • ● The Head of AI Platforms & Deployment is a player-manager role reporting to the Engineering Director, owning both sides of that strategy: the AI Platforms capability pillars (control, monitoring and sandboxing; agentic workflow orchestration; knowledge capture) and the AI Deployment team of forward-deployed engineers who put AI to work on real business problems. You will be hands-on from day one - enabling business deployment of AI with the tools we have today - whilst also building and delivering a business-driven, multi-year AI platforms strategy and hiring and managing the team that executes it.
  • ● AI offers Moneybox significant opportunities, and unlocking them safely means managing the risks that come with it. The controls and capabilities that make that possible (gateways, sandboxing, guardrails, monitoring, perimeter defence) need dedicated leadership to build.
  • ● Demand for AI-enabled business systems is real and, without a safe path, goes underground. Someone must own the graduation ladder from "works for me" to owned, reviewed business system.
  • ● We need to evolve our current Claude, Gemini and other frontier LLM deployments into a coherent, safe and effective strategic deployment platform.
  • ● You are not coming in to write a strategy deck. Pace and learning are key: we expect you to run two tracks in parallel from day one - enable the do-ers, helping the business use AI safely with what we have today rather than gating everything behind platform build, and build the strategic platform. Key decisions should be made within your first two to three months and material platform improvements live within six. You will hire further engineers before the end of the year, growing the team as the benefits compound.
