📍London OR Remote | 💰 £74,000 - £94,000 + Benefits | Hear from the team ✨

About us: 

We’re here to make money work for everyone and we're doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo.

Risk at Monzo:

Like any other regulated bank, we need to make sure we are managing our risks and controls and are fully compliant with our regulation, but at Monzo we want to do so while continuing with our agile “test and learn” approach to launching products. We are looking for a Risk & Controls Manager to help us further embed our conduct risk framework (especially Consumer Duty) across the first line.

• Ensure the first line proactively consider and incorporate Consumer Duty requirements in products and features 
• Ensure governance-related requirements are met - including documentation and approvals
• Support the first line in developing and improving controls that protect our customer and business needs now and in the future
• Manage and report on the risk and control environment (risks, controls, issues, incidents, remedial actions, etc)
• Manage regulatory and audit deadlines and submissions
• Help innovate and improve on the effectiveness of governance and risk management process to ensure they work for Monzo

• You’re excited about helping Monzo scale in a compliant, thoughtful and controlled way
• You’re resilient and comfortable working in a fast paced and ambiguous environment where the day to day job is constantly evolving and changing
• You are able to meet people where they are at, and be the a bridge between internal teams and represent Monzo before auditors and regulators

Our interview process involves 3 main stages: 

• Short call with a recruiter
