About the FinCrime Team:

As a bank, Monzo is an appealing target for criminals who try to launder illegally gained funds through our accounts or fraudulently convince our customers to give them their money.   Our team works to prevent, identify, and fix instances of fraud and crime.  These capabilities are critical to Monzo’s business because they ensure legal compliance, improve customer experience, and enable us to grow safely.  

What you’ll be working on:

• Development of new models and approaches to identify and stop crime from happening on the platform. 
• Accountability for reducing the amount of financial crime on Monzo.  This is a board-level metric that is key to the success of our business.
• Collaboration across the company (ranging from Business Banking to Operations) to enable new business opportunities without creating additional Financial Crime risks.  
• Establishing a strategic outlook on the FinCrime landscape and an innovative roadmap to develop industry leading solutions. 

Your day-to-day work will be constantly evolving and might include the following:

• Working to develop and launch new ML models to detect suspicious accounts or transactions
• Collaborating with Data or Risk teams to understand emerging attack vectors
• Engaging cross functional stakeholders across the business to understand how we can enable safe growth.

You should apply if:

• You want to apply product skills to solve a meaningful business problem that involves technical and social challenges. 
• You have experience in a scale-up environment where things move quickly and you can balance commercial and technical skills.  
• Experience with adversarial, fast paced problem spaces is a plus.  For example, experience with content moderation or advertising fraud might prepare you well for this type of work. 

The interview process:

Our interview process involves 4 main stages: 

• Recruiter Call 
• Initial Call with Hiring Manager 
• Final Loop, consisting of x3 hour long interviews to assess Project Walkthrough, Case Study and Leadership.

This process should take around 3-4 weeks - your schedule is really important to us, so we promise to be as flexible as possible! 

We have some guidelines on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ace an application and interview at Monzo. You can read them here.
