• Mentoring and developing our Security Analysts.
• Keeping up with emerging security threats, technology and risks, and helping us prepare for what’s next.

We’d love to hear from you if…

• 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 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.
