⭐ About Monzo Europe

Monzo Europe is an Irish-based subsidiary of the Monzo Group which will  be the base for Monzo’s expansion  in the European Union. This is a unique opportunity to be among the first team members on the ground in Dublin as a member of our new Monzo Europe Company Secretarial Team. 

⭐ About the role

We’re looking for a talented, hands-on, and diligent Assistant Company Secretary with knowledge and experience of Irish company law and corporate governance requirements to join the Monzo Europe Company Secretarial Team. Based in Dublin, you’ll hit the ground running and become the heart of all things governance for Monzo Europe as we build out our bank in Ireland.

Bringing your experience gained in an Assistant Company Secretary (or equivalent) role, you’ll be comfortable operating in a fast-paced organisation and accustomed to applying critical and solution-oriented thinking to secure good governance outcomes for Monzo.

You’ll report to the Monzo Europe General Counsel & Company Secretary (CoSec) and work closely with the Deputy Company Secretary for Monzo Europe (Deputy CoSec), as well as being a part of the broader Monzo Group Governance Squad to help establish and implement robust and compliant corporate governance practices for Monzo Europe. 

This role offers an exciting and novel opportunity to play an instrumental role in a scaling company that’s key to Monzo’s expansion strategy. You’ll be part of a high-performing team who’ll support your development and ensure you have the opportunity to enhance your company secretarial skill set while taking ownership of some of Monzo Europe’s key governance processes.

Governance processes and procedures: With support from the Deputy CoSec, you’ll help to establish and maintain Monzo Europe’s governance policies, processes and procedures in line with regulatory requirements and internal Group governance standards.
