[Hiring] Control Analytics Manager @Monzo

Role Description

As a Controls Analytics Manager, you’ll bring together your expertise in risk, controls, and data analytics to design and build automated monitoring solutions and reusable frameworks. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore advanced techniques, such as AI, to enhance testing, improve efficiency, and expand automation across our control environment.

In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of bringing data-driven insight to how we manage risk and controls, helping Monzo scale safely and smartly as we grow. We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about using data to strengthen assurance and help Monzo continue to grow safely.

About our Risk & Controls Team

Like any regulated bank, we must manage risks and controls effectively and remain fully compliant with regulation. At Monzo, we do this differently — combining rigorous risk management with our agile, “test and learn” approach to building products our customers love.

We’re building a new, data-driven capability to strengthen assurance, and this role will be central to shaping and scaling it. You’ll design and run full-population control tests, build Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) dashboards, and generate insights that keep Monzo operating safely, efficiently, and at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing and building automated queries, scripts, and dashboards (using SQL, BigQuery, and Looker) for Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM).
• Creating reusable code and automation frameworks to embed analytics into control testing.
• Leading data analytics elements of ad-hoc, targeted reviews of specific risks or control themes.
• Ensuring control gaps identified through analytics are agreed with stakeholders and recorded.
• Collaborating across risk, audit, and business teams to ensure transparency and strengthen accountability.

Qualifications

• Experience in regulated financial services, professional services, or high-growth tech.
• Strong focus on control assurance and data-driven risk management.
• Highly skilled in SQL (Looker and BigQuery experience is a plus, but not essential).
• Experience designing and building data analytics solutions for control testing.
• Analytical thinker who simplifies complexity and communicates insights clearly.
• Thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Hands-on experience with GitHub and automating data pipelines into BigQuery (desirable but not essential).
• Immediately available or have a notice period of 1 month or less.

Requirements

• Passion for using data to strengthen assurance.
• Ability to help Monzo scale safely and sustainably.

Benefits

• Salary: £59,500 - £80,500.
• Flexible working hours.
• £1,000 learning budget each year for books, training courses, and conferences.
• Work-from-home setup support, including Macbooks for all employees.
• Additional benefits available.

Application Process

The application journey has 3 key steps:

• Quick call with a Monzo Recruiter.
• Short video-call with the Hiring Manager.
• Full-loop interviews (1 x 60 min Technical interview/1 x 45 min Behavioural interview) conducted over GoogleMeet.

This process should take around 2-3 weeks - your schedule is really important to us, so we promise to be as flexible as possible!
