⭐ Our Team

You’ll help our investigators protect Monzo, our customers, and wider society from financial crime, and support us to achieve our mission of making money work for everyone.

As an Overnight Operations Manager you would lead a large team of up to 72 investigators, focused on onboarding and lifecycle activities like Sign up reviews, Sanctions, High Risk account reviews, and Enhanced Due Diligence and ensuring our customers get the support they need—no matter the time of day. Our evening and night teams play a crucial role in keeping Monzo running, and you’ll be at the helm, guiding your managers and their teams to success. 

You would also be directly responsible for a team of up to 6 team managers who are responsible for supporting their investigators to complete risk-based, accurate, and efficient financial crime investigations.

You’ll take charge of your team’s performance, monitor service levels, build a management culture you can be proud of, be a point of escalation for complex challenges, and take appropriate action whenever you see a problem coming - whether it’s a service challenge, a risk associated with a financial crime task, or an urgent personal issue.

This role requires a good understanding of the FinCrime landscape in the UK, and excellent leadership skills.

🔑 You’ll play a key role by…

  • Monitoring the day-to-day performance and service position of the operation, and address identified challenges.
  • Ensuring the team is equipped with effective training and guidance.
  • Inspiring leaders to get the best from their team and support them navigating challenges.
  • Developing, communicating and implementing operational change.
  • Collaborating with a variety of stakeholder teams across the business, including quality assurance, complaints, financial crime risk, hiring and more.
  • Building and maintaining a high-performance, agile and empathetic management culture that is consistent with Monzo's values.
  • Managing the personal and professional development of your Team Managers.
  • Contribute to a strong control environment by minimising breaches and risk events, and resolving operational incidents when they occur. 

🤩We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You’re a night owl 
  • You have experience leading high-performing operational teams in financial crime or fraud.
  • You have experience of analysing management information and building effective response plans when required.
  • You can independently manage incidents and build clear communication across a range of stakeholders.
  • You have experience leading (or closely supporting) the implementation of change projects in operational teams.
  • You have a strong understanding of current and emerging financial crime trends.
  • You have a good understanding of FinCrime regulation in the UK
  • You have excellent coaching skills, with a track record of supporting people to achieve their personal development ambitions.
  • You have good written and verbal communication skills

It would also be great if you had:

- An ICA Advanced Certificate in Practical Customer Due Diligence, Managing Sanctions, Anti Money Laundering, or equivalent/superior industry qualifications.
