These might sound like small tasks, but they're super important for keeping everything compliant and ensuring our colleagues have the most current information.
• Collaborating with data teams across Monzo to develop awesome data assets and metrics. This could involve defining requirements for Dashboards, creating centralised reporting, digging into Risk Appetite metrics, or performing in-depth dashboard analysis.
