⭐️ Our Risk and Controls team

Like any other regulated bank, we need to make sure we are managing our risks and controls, and are fully compliant with regulation.

We are looking for a Risk & Controls Manager to help us further embed our shipping and product change management controls across the bank.

  • Coordinating product governance and oversight meetings.
  • Iterating and reporting product change MI for an executive audience, including upcoming releases, and collaborating with risk partners to assess appropriate governance levels for major product milestones.
  • Overseeing change training programs, ensuring Monzonauts are adequately trained in change management practices
  • Coordinating and supporting product squads and risk partners in “business as usual” activities to comply with our product governance framework
  • Supporting Monzo in developing and enhancing controls that protect our customer and business needs now and in the future
  • Ensuring the first line proactively consider and incorporate the Consumer Duty, as well as any other relevant regulations, in our products and features as well as supporting proposals
  • Embedding robust regulatory, conduct, and operational risk practices into a risk-driven culture
  • Fostering positive and collaborative relationships across the three lines of defence
  • Ensuring governance-related requirements are met 

🤩We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You have hands-on, practical experience with:
    • Designing and implementing change initiatives in large, complex financial institutions.
    • Identifying iterative improvements for product change management
    • Organising and managing risk governance meetings / committees, and collating data and writing supporting commentary for an executive audience
    • Experience navigating matrix organisations, collaborating at all levels, to tight timescales
  • You have considerable risk and control experience with consumer financial products in a regulated environment
  • You can apply a data led approach to risk management and assessment
  • 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 a self-starter, and able to work independently and make prioritisation decisions

Making Monzo work for everyone starts right at the beginning of every Monzonaut's journey: when they apply to work here. This demographic survey will help us better understand the people who apply to work at Monzo. It'll help us see how different groups progress through our hiring process, and where we need to make improvements to be more inclusive. If you choose to fill it out, all of the information you give us is:

  • Voluntary. And we've included a "prefer not to say" option for every question. It'd be helpful if you still fill out the survey even if you choose "prefer not to say" for every question, as it's useful for us to understand & record this. We won't know if you choose to fill this survey in or not.
  • Anonymous to Monzo. We can't tie your responses to you and they won't make a difference to the outcome of your application. We'll only use grouped responses for equal opportunities monitoring in our hiring process.

For more information on how we'll use this data, please read our candidate privacy notice.

By filling out this survey, you agree that we can use your responses for the purposes we've mentioned above. You are not letting us know if we need to make any adjustments to the hiring process because of disability or neurodiversity - to do this please email us.
