Our Internal Controls team

Were looking for a proactive and experienced Finance Internal Controls Manager to join Monzo on a permanent basis with a remit focused on driving change automation and control maturity as Finance continues to scale.

While controls MI and governance form part of the landscape the core of this role is reducing reliance on manual processes embedding sustainable controls through transformation and supporting complex change across Finance - including ERP evolution and EU expansion.

Youll play a key role by...

• Using tools such as RCSAs and controls MI as inputs to prioritise change identify control weaknesses and track the impact of transformation activity with outputs feeding into Finance governance forums.
• Driving the transition from manual workaround-heavy controls to automated well-designed processes particularly following ERP change.
• Designing and automating controls using ERP platforms (e.g. SAP) and data tooling including the ability to work hands-on with data using SQL and/or scripting (e.g. Python) to replace manual and detective controls with scalable preventative solutions.
• Partnering with Finance Tax Treasury and Engineering teams to design controls that scale rather than maintaining point-in-time compliance artefacts.
• Supporting complex change initiatives (e.g. EU expansion multi-entity operations) by ensuring controls are embedded as processes evolve not retrofitted.
• Using control insights to shape prioritisation influence design decisions and improve resilience - rather than operating controls as a standalone activity
• Ensuring policies standards and reporting evolve in line with Finance transformation maintaining a robust control framework without creating unnecessary operational overhead.
• Providing guidance and support to the business in demonstrating that the appropriate control environment is in place particularly with ERP changes and EU expansion.
• Work closely with the second line of defense to enhance Monzos risk controls and governance framework.
• Leading and managing strategic projects within Finance to help build and drive financial capabilities across the Bank
• Collaborating with engineers to automate or enhance recurring processes driving improved control automation and operational efficiency.
• This role is expected to evolve over time shifting focus as Finance matures - from stabilisation and transformation into longer-term optimisation and automation.

• You have a great eye for detail.
• Youre a self-starter and enjoy tackling what needs doing.
