Our Information Security team

At Monzo, we’re on a mission to make money work for everyone. Keeping our bank safe and secure is a big part of making that happen.

Our Information Security Squad builds security processes that help us move at pace while protecting our customers. We work in partnership with teams across Monzo, including Product and Engineering, to help them create products our customers love.

In this role, you’ll lead security projects, help teams understand and manage risk, and support the development of our Security Analysts.

• Leading projects across our security programme, which has previously included third-party security, governance and vulnerability management.
• Representing Security in projects across Monzo, including product launches, and helping teams identify and manage security risks.
• Writing security policies and procedures with teams across Security and the wider bank.

• You’re excited about making a difference to how we deliver information security at Monzo.
• You’ve managed projects across a range of security domains and are comfortable leading several pieces of work at once.
• You’re working towards a recognised security qualification, such as CISSP.
• You communicate clearly in writing and conversation, and can explain complex topics to different audiences.
• You work confidently and independently, including when engaging senior stakeholders, and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment.
• You enjoy using data to measure and improve your work, can interpret technical requirements, regulations and procedures, and are open to new approaches and technologies, including GenAI.

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 that’s listed just yet.

What’s in it for you

• This is a 12 month Fixed-Term contract
• This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London)
• We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team.
• £1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.
• We will set you up to work from home; all employees are given Macbooks and for fully remote workers we will provide extra support for your work-from-home setup.

The application journey has 3 key steps
