As a Fraud Director, you’ll lead our Fraud & Disputes Risk team here at Monzo, where you’ll also work as part of the wider Fraud & Disputes Group Leadership Team. 

We’re looking for a proactive leader with deep understanding and expertise in fraud risk management and strategy. You’ll build strong and trusted relationships with our Fraud Product, Engineering, Data and Operations teams and work collaboratively to help build and embed effective Fraud controls and processes for our customers, whilst creating a positive culture across our Fraud Group.

You’ll work across Monzo’s global teams and cover all product lines, including current accounts, business banking, borrowing and wealth. You’ll need to be an expert leader and people manager who is equally ready to get hands-on. 

We need a crack team of crime fighters to help us stay one step ahead as we continue to grow. You'll be at the forefront of innovation, employing the latest technologies to craft and develop our prevention-first tools that enable us to stay several steps ahead of the criminals, ensuring the continued trust and safety of our customers.

  • You know how to work hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, and Data teams, finding the harmonious balance between a product-led mindset and deep fraud risk expertise.

  • You’re able to quickly and confidently understand, articulate and respond to emerging trends and risks across the fraud landscape (plugged into latest industry developments). 
  • You can speak to and influence senior internal and external stakeholders with confidence and in line with Monzo’s values.
  • You’re a great manager and coach with a track record of developing high-performing teams, using continuous feedback to empower individuals and drive tangible impact. 
  • You’re data-driven (able to self-serve) and use technology to solve problems and identify opportunities. 

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 thats listed just yet.
