Job description

We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ️

We’re looking for a talented and enthusiastic Technology Risk Analyst to join our growing Technology Risk Oversight team. You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the security and resilience of our technology estate, protecting our customers' data and maintaining the trust they place in us. You'll be working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact on how we manage technology risks.

Responsibilities:

• Risk Assessment and Analysis:
  • Proactively identify and assess technology risks across Monzo’s cloud-native infrastructure and applications.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of existing controls and recommend improvements.
  • Analyse and interpret risk data to provide actionable insights.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of risk management frameworks and methodologies tailored to a modern, cloud-first environment.
• Monitor and report on the status of risk mitigation activities.
• Assist in the development of risk appetite statements and tolerance levels.
• Reporting and Communication:
  • Communicate complex technical risk information clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Prepare regular risk reports and dashboards for management.
  • Foster a culture of risk awareness across the organisation.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest technology risks, security trends, and regulatory changes.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of risk management processes and tools.
• Share knowledge and best practices with the team.

We’d love to hear from you if…

• You have a solid understanding of cloud computing technologies and their associated security risks (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
• You possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to a non-technical audience.

What’s in it for you

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.

• Recruiter call - 30 mins
• Role specific interview - 60 mins
• Behavioural interview - 60 mins

This process should take around 3-4 weeks - your schedule is really important to us, so we promise to be as flexible as possible!
