⭐ More about the team

The RCD Enablement Team provides essential support to Monzo's first line of defence, empowering business teams and Risk Partners with the tools and guidance they need to effectively manage risk.This team is responsible for coordinating key processes like control testing, RCSA, facilitating risk committee reporting, and delivering accurate insights for risk, control, and issue management. This work ensures the business can proactively manage risk and meet its regulatory obligations, including those for Consumer Duty.

In this team you'll help us keep things simple and secure, making our processes run like clockwork - whether it's starting from scratch, or making our existing systems even better!

You'll be a wizard with Google Sheets or Excel, developing and looking after templates, automations, and even Apps Script for generating documents.

  • Running key routine processes, like our annual refreshes of our Conduct Dashboard, and making sure all our stakeholder forms are up-to-date. These might sound like small tasks, but they're super important for keeping everything compliant and ensuring our colleagues have the most current information.
  • Collaborating with data teams across Monzo to develop awesome data assets and metrics. This could involve defining requirements for Dashboards, creating centralised reporting, digging into Risk Appetite metrics, or performing in-depth dashboard analysis. 
  • Ensuring any reporting and automations you’re responsible for runs like clockwork and guidance on how to use these tools and processes is up to date. 
  • Designing brilliant ways to automate your work and leverage technology to ensure we scale with the business.

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if you have…

  • Experience with data analysis tools such as SQL, Python, R, and visualisation tools like Looker.
  • Previous experience using Airtable or similar tools (advantageous). 
  • A passion for data and a sharp eye for detail
  • Amazing Excel or Google Sheets skills including VBA or Apps Script. 
  • Experience in automating or enhancing recurring processes by leveraging technology
