Senior Financial Crime Manager

📍London OR UK remote | 💰 £80,000 - £100,000 (DOE) + Benefits | 

About us: 

We’re here to make money work for everyone and we're doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo.

About our FinCrime Team

You should know that we fight Financial Crime a little differently at Monzo. You’ll work in a team with dedicated Financial Crime engineers, data scientists and machine learning experts, which helps us to spot, assess and prevent crime quickly. We choose not to split out different areas of crime, either. Instead we tackle all Financial Crime together as one team. That includes AML, fraud, sanctions breaches, terrorist financing, bribery and corruption and tax evasion. 

We’re looking for an exceptional Financial Crime Senior Manager with international experience to drive forward the development of our Financial Crime policies and systems outside the UK. You will build a team to define policy and procedures to support Monzo’s expansion, and support development of advanced systems to detect jurisdictional risks based on all types of customer and transaction data across all aspects of Financial Crime (including Fraud).

We need someone who really understands the Financial Crime regulatory framework and typologies in the EU, and has expert knowledge in how to develop policies and systems to ensure Monzo remains compliant and can most effectively detect and prevent all types of Financial Crime. 

Responsibilities include: 

• Owning the strategy for development of policies and procedures to support Monzo’s expansion in the EU.
• Lead a team of specialist Fincrime risk owners to implement the fincrime strategy across multiple prevention and detection systems as a core member of the cross-functional Fincrime Collective.
• Developing strategic relationships with Fincrime experts, product/platform owners and Senior Execs to provide expert Fincrime knowledge and define business and functional requirements.
• Suggest, develop, implement and monitor industry leading fincrime detection capabilities as an embedded member of the Collective (which includes data scientists, machine learning experts, product management and engineers).
• Providing expert knowledge to support the development of Fincrime systems to effectively manage risks in multiple jurisdictions.
• Building a close relationship with our Fincrime operations teams, ensuring sufficient communication and knowledge sharing on risks related to relevant jurisdictions.
• Defining and interpreting key measures and metrics on the performance of key systems and reporting this to relevant oversight committees and Senior Execs across the business.
• Identifying the highest priority issues or problem areas and working with other members of the Fincrime Team to drive forward solutions.

You should apply if:

• You have significant knowledge of how to manage Financial Crime risks across multiple European jurisdictions.
• You have been involved in the implementation of policies and procedures covering multiple jurisdictions.
• You have worked with mature Fincrime systems to effectively manage risks across different countries.
• You’ve got experience working closely with product managers, engineers, data scientists and identifying operational requirements.
• You have experience of leading a wide range of Fincrime professionals and technical experts. 
• You are passionate about Fincrime, Monzo and putting customers first.
• You enjoy working efficiently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and thrive when dealing with change and ambiguity. 
• You're great at explaining processes and complex technical requirements to people, and have flawless written English.
• You’re a self-starter who’s keen to get stuck in and make things happen
• You’re comfortable working with data and using it to come up with recommendations.
