• Reviewing complaints attributed to the team and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Conducting job interviews for Financial Crime Investigators and contributing to hiring decisions
• Chairing employee relations cases and making decisions consistent with Monzo’s values
• Effectively drive a high level of team-wide engagement despite atypical working hours

Requirements:

• You have recent experience conducting financial crime investigations in an operational setting with subject matter expertise
• You’re confident handling escalations and providing technical coaching and feedback relating to Financial Crime
• You hold, or are actively working towards, the ICA International Advanced Certificate in Anti Money Laundering, or similar industry qualification
• You have experience leading teams of people (this does not need to be in financial crime or fraud)
• You are a clear and inspiring communicator, with excellent written and verbal English
• You have an empathetic and supportive approach to leadership
• You are great at prioritising problems and assessing risk in an operations environment
• You have previous overnight work experience (this is a plus - make sure to consider if & how overnight working will complement your lifestyle)

What’s in it for you:

• £32,200 - £40,750 + an additional £5004 per annum / £417 per month allowance for overnight working + Stock Options + Benefits
• £1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences
