⭐ Our Risk & Controls team

We’re looking for a Director to join our Risk & Controls Discipline (RCD) and partner with our Product squads, to drive fresh thinking within the first line risk management space, and help us achieve the next phase of our growth ambition. The successful person will help our senior leaders and product owners to shape and implement controls, and run all aspects of Monzo’s enterprise risk management framework. Directors at Monzo join the company-wide Senior Leadership Team and are expected to lead both within their role but also make a broad impact across the organisation

🔑 You’ll play a key role by...

• Leading the Product RCD squads, which includes partnering with our Retail, Business Banking and Wealth product squads, as well as overseeing our Marketing controls and Financial Promotions reviews
• Overseeing ongoing compliance with the Consumer Duty, including accountability for annual Board reporting and ongoing product reviews
• Demonstrating delivery of good customer outcomes in product design, through a data-led approach
• Enabling fast, safe ‘shipping’ of product changes by supporting risk assessments and change processes
• Being the ‘go to’ partner for C-Suite and Executive leaders including the Chief Product Officer, General Managers for Wealth & Business Banking, and VP - Marketing, partnering on a range of risk topics
• Monitoring issues & actions, control design testing, supporting implementation of new / updated frameworks and monitoring and testing control effectiveness and execution
• Build a ‘data first’ and automation culture across controls - leveraging the opportunities Artificial Intelligence presents - to build out a more predictive and forward-looking control environment
• Partner for growth into new markets, products and regulatory jurisdictions

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

• You’re an exceptional risk / control professional with experience at a UK bank, financial services company (including FinTech) or in a transferable control type role in a different industry
• You can influence senior stakeholders and have a track record of solving complex risk problems in matrix environments
• You have a strong track record in managing product risk - and are ‘hands on’ in doing so - with experience growing new business ‘in control’
• You’re a data driven control leader 
• You're resilient and comfortable working in a fast paced environment where the day to day job is constantly evolving and changing
• You’re hands-on and great at delivery & execution
• You’re curious and collaborative - you’re great at asking incisive questions to pick things up and act on them quickly
• It would be a plus if you have experience at a fintech / challenger bank, experience in deploying Artificial Intelligence and / or experience working in a scaling environment and/or technology company on your career journey
