You’ll also have the opportunity to explore advanced techniques, such as AI, to enhance testing, improve efficiency, and expand automation across our control environment.
In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of bringing data-driven insight to how we manage risk and controls, helping Monzo scale safely and smartly as we grow.We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about using data to strengthen assurance and help Monzo continue to grow safely.
About our Risk & Controls Team
Like any regulated bank, we must manage risks and controls effectively and remain fully compliant with regulation. At Monzo, we do this differently — combining rigorous risk management with our agile, “test and learn” approach to building products our customers love.
We’re building a new, data-driven capability to strengthen assurance, and this role will be central to shaping and scaling it. You’ll design and run full-population control tests, build Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) dashboards, and generate insights that keep Monzo operating safely, efficiently, and at scale.
🔑 You’ll play a key role by providing…
Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM): Designing and building automated queries, scripts, and dashboards (using SQL, BigQuery, and Looker) to provide continuous monitoring of material risks and controls, with ongoing validation to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.
Data analytics and automation: Creating reusable code and automation frameworks to embed analytics into control testing, with opportunities to explore advanced techniques (including AI) to further improve efficiency and scalability.
Deep-dive analytics: Leading the data analytics elements of ad-hoc, targeted reviews of specific risks or control themes, surfacing insights that strengthen assurance and inform senior decision-making.
Driving continuous improvement: Ensuring control gaps identified through analytics are agreed with stakeholders and recorded.
Partnering with stakeholders: Collaborating across risk, audit, and business teams to ensure transparency, strengthen accountability, and embed a culture of proactive assurance.
