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.

We're looking for a highly proactive, enthusiastic and commercially-minded specialised person with strong knowledge of risk management related to IFRS 9 impairments, to join the Finance team at Monzo.

- Deputise for the CFO on matters relating to capital management, balance sheet strategy and capital allocation, leading conversations with relevant ExCo members

- Develop and execute a strategy for effective capital allocation and balance sheet resource management
- Own and present the ICAAP, working across the business to assess the implications of stress events and providing options to ExCo on how capital can be effectively managed in response to these stresses.
- Own and present the Recovery plan, leveraging the actions in the ICAAP and ILAAP to demonstrate Monzo's ability to recover from extreme stress events.
- Act as a key leading and contributor to potential M&A and strategy decisions

- Support alignment of IFRS 9, Credit Risk and Portfolio Integration (Pricing).
- Collaborate with both internal and external audit to provide information where necessary and to manage the auditing process
- Lead Resolution Planning and implementation work in line with Monzo's resolution requirements, including owning the documentation of how we overcome the potential barriers to resolution.
- Support various committees including the Board Audit Committee to give assurance that the IFRS 9 impairment and the related regulatory capital levels are adequate., specifically leading the monthly Impairment Council to provide challenge on provisions made. Proactively look at emerging trends/changes in legislation and assessing the impact of these on reporting requirements working closely with other departments.
- Chair the Financial Model Risk Forum to ensure that model risk is appropriately managed within the Finance function.
- Coordinate the month end reporting of Financial Risks to ALCo and beyond.
