Senior Security Operations Analyst

🚀 We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us. 

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ❤️

⭐Our Security Operations team

We’re here to make money work for everyone - and that means keeping our customers, data, and systems safe.

You’ll join our Security Operations Squad: a group focused on detecting and investigating potential cybersecurity threats, responding to incidents, and constantly improving how we protect Monzo and our customers.

You’ll also be part of our wider Security Collective - a passionate, cross-functional group making Monzo a safer place to work and bank. Security here is all about balance: we protect without adding friction, making sure strong security and great user experience go hand in hand. Learn more about how we scale security detection here.

🔑 You’ll play a key role by...

• Leading complex security incidents from investigation to resolution, coordinating effective responses and recovery
• Continuously improving our detection and monitoring capabilities across SIEM, EDR, cloud logs and other tooling
• Using data-driven analysis to identify trends, root causes and opportunities to strengthen our defences
• Mentoring and supporting colleagues across the squad to build our collective expertise
• Driving improvements in our security controls, policies and processes through insight from incidents and audits
• Helping integrate and maintain new security tools that keep us resilient and ready for evolving threats

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

• You have experience in a SOC environment and strong knowledge of incident response frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK or the Cyber Kill Chain
• You’re confident investigating attacks like phishing, lateral movement, and web app or network breaches
• You’ve worked with SIEM, SOAR, IAM, or DLP technologies and know how to tune and optimise them
• You bring depth in one or more areas such as Cloud Security (AWS/Azure/GCP), Network Defence, or Endpoint Security
• You can translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences
• You’re pragmatic, collaborative, and excited about Monzo’s mission to make money work for everyone

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo, we’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply— even if you don’t have everything that's listed just yet. Drop us your application, we’d love to hear from you!
