Enterprise Risk is at the centre of our risk governance, and this is a rare opportunity to work closely with teams across the business to develop and maintain enterprise risk management processes, standards and governance that are robust, pragmatic and enable innovation — balancing strong risk discipline with Monzo’s fast-moving, collaborative culture.
