Our People Governance & Accountability team ⭐

We call it Monzo Magic. Mission. Action. Growth. Inclusion. Care. It runs through everything that we do and within the People Collective it’s how we set Monzo up for success by bringing mission led people together to do work and banking differently. We foster a culture that centres on our customers and brings together the best of tech with the best of banking. We empower a diverse, high performing, innovative and agile workforce in doing the most impactful work of their careers to date. It’s an ambitious task to scale this culture and ways of working, but it’s a mission we’re committed to.

At Monzo, we want governance to do more than keep us safe. It should be clear, practical and scalable. It should help us grow with confidence, and make accountability work well in real life.

That’s what our People Governance & Accountability team is here to do.

We’re a small, high-impact team working at the intersection of People, Legal, Compliance and Risk. We own the end-to-end design and operation of Monzo’s accountability and people governance frameworks globally, making sure our approach stands up to internal and external scrutiny and works effectively in practice.

We’re looking for a People Governance and Accountability Senior Manager to join us. This is an individual contributor role with meaningful scope. You’ll own operational delivery across our people governance and accountability frameworks, and continuously improve how they work over time, and partner with teams across Monzo to keep things clear, efficient and well controlled.

This role has influence and impact across the People Collective and Monzo as a whole. The quality of your judgement, attention to detail, delivery and partnership will directly affect how effectively Monzo manages accountability, risk and regulatory scrutiny as we grow.

What you’ll be doing

This role blends people and governance expertise, regulatory knowledge, operational ownership and systems thinking.

As you scale with us, you will
