Our Regulatory Affairs team

We’re looking for a pragmatic, organised and personable individual to strengthen our Regulatory Affairs team.

The Regulatory Affairs team is the central team responsible for maintaining open and collaborative relationships with our regulators across Monzo. In the Regulatory Affairs team, you’ll support and strengthen Monzo’s regulatory relationships and work closely with Executives to help shape our vision and regulatory affairs strategy as Monzo continues to grow. You’ll also work closely with our contacts at the Regulators (FCA, PRA, PSR, CMA) and support the wider Regulatory Affairs team with engagement with other relevant Regulators (CBI, ECB etc), responding to information requests, preparing for meetings and submitting regulatory submissions.

We are on a mission to Make Money Work for Everyone and we’ve grown to over 11 million customers. For Regulatory Affairs this means ensuring our regulators are kept informed, managing regulatory requests and educating colleagues on the regulatory landscape.

We operate a “three lines of defence” model of risk management at Monzo. You’ll be sitting in the second line as part of our Risk and Compliance team, working in the Regulatory Affairs Team.

You’ll play a key role by...

• Acting as the primary contact with our regulatory supervisory teams, including managing correspondence and submission processes, and keeping them informed with proactive notifications on new products and strategic initiatives.
• Preparing for and facilitating regulatory meetings, reviews and requests, working closely with Executives and stakeholders throughout the business to prepare and advise them on how best to meet regulatory expectations.
• Working with subject matter experts in Risk and Compliance, and across the business, to coordinate and prepare for regulatory visits.
• Leading the preparation, submission and management of technically complex regulatory submissions.
• Communicating regulatory expectations and messages in an understandable way to a diverse range of stakeholders across Monzo.
• Being a champion of risk and compliance and building respectful and collaborative relationships with all levels of stakeholders across the business.

We’d love to hear from you if…

• You have proven experience working in a:
• regulatory affairs role at a regulated financial services firm, or
• working at a financial services regulator, or
• in a regulated financial services environment, or
• you have experience in management consulting, ideally within financial services consultancy. This role may also suit you if you're looking to move from a consultancy position into a more hands-on/strategic role.
• You understand the objectives of the FCA, PRA, CMA and PSR and the financial services regulatory environment, and can understand and communicate regulatory expectations in a pragmatic way
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills, able to deliver messages succinctly and produce high quality written documents for the regulator.
• You are able to adapt quickly and work effectively in a dynamic and fast-moving setting.
• You think constructively and can apply a solutions focused mindset.
• You are able to build strong, mutually respectful relationships with diverse teams and across stakeholders of varying seniority.
• You are motivated and focused on executing at pace and to a high standard.
• You are highly organised and able to coordinate multiple regulatory meetings, requests and deliverables at any one time.
