⭐ Our Risk team
Teams across the first line in Monzo seek guidance from the Risk & Control Discipline on how to ensure they are compliant with regulations and Monzo’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework and they also rely on us to create a risk aware culture that distinguishes Monzo in both banking and technology. Within the Operations teams, you will lead the way in real-time risk management by defining and building a scalable set of change procedures, accurately identifying and documenting issues and controls, and change risk assessments are completed in good time across operations domains, also making sure that key risk indicators are well-defined and understood, incidents are managed, MI and reporting packs are comprehensive.
As a Risk & Control Manager, you will use your passion for risk and control to support our Operations and Products teams as they build and deliver at pace. Monzo is a fast-paced and ever changing environment, flexibility, and openness to pivot and focus on different operations domains as needed is a must.

- Manage regulatory and audit deadlines and submissions
- Help innovate and improve on the effectiveness of governance and risk management process to ensure they work for Monzo
- Help embed robust regulatory, conduct, and operational risk practices and culture

- You’re excited about helping Monzo scale in a compliant, thoughtful and controlled way

- You are a self-starter, and able to work independently and make prioritisation decisions
