We’re looking for a Senior Manager to join our Controls Discipline. This role is critical in driving greater efficiency and automation across our central control processes, including Issues Management, Policies & Standards, Risk & Control Self Assessment, Regulatory Change & Horizon Scanning and Non-Prudential Regulatory Reporting.
The successful person will help our embedded Control Business Partners and Risk Owners to operationalise all aspects of Monzo’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF) in the first line of defence. This requires a Product and Service mindset - equipping the organisation with the platform, processes, data and training to make control management as automated, simple and proportionate as possible.
This is a global capability, delivering to all markets and subsidiaries. Close engagement with Risk & Compliance in the second line is a success measure as they set the risk appetite, frameworks and bar for first line execution.
🔑 You’ll play a key role by…
- As a Subject Matter Expert, designing (and re-designing) processes, systems and controls to ensure proportionate and risk based compliance with the ERMF.
- Partnering for growth with Risk & Compliance.
- Operating with a product and service mindset to deliver value to Risk Owners.
- Driving real-time data insights to ensure controls are kept ‘live’.
- Elevate Monzo’s control environment to greater maturity and scalability, pioneering a proactive approach to risk management.
- Contributing to successful re-platforming across GRC and Regulatory horizon scanning tools.
- Fostering positive relationships across the three lines of defence, upskilling risk owners to take greater accountability for control processes, and promoting a transparent risk culture.
🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…
- You bring exceptional risk and control expertise from Banking, Financial Services, or FinTech.
- You have a proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and tackle complex issues in matrix environments.
- You have a strong track record in managing 1st line risk - and are ‘hands on’ in doing so - with experience growing new business ‘in control’.
- You’re a data driven control leader.
- You thrive in fast-paced settings, showcasing resilience, adaptability, and exceptional execution skills as the landscape evolves.
- You exhibit curiosity and collaboration, adept at asking insightful questions and quickly acting on new information.
- Experience in process improvement, deploying AI, and/or working in scaling environments or tech companies is a plus!
