Third Party Risk Manager (FTC)

We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone. We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking. With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award-winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers. We’re not about selling products – we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo.

We are looking for an experienced Third Party Risk Manager to join us for 6 months, and help ensure we successfully roll out, embed and integrate all the suppliers of Monzo’s first ever acquisition (Habito) into our third party risk management framework. Monzo recently acquired Habito – a prominent UK-based digital mortgage broker and lender whose primary mission is to simplify the home-buying process and eliminate the stress, confusing jargon, and heavy paperwork traditionally associated with getting a mortgage.

Team: We are a small, high-performing, high-energy team and we are here to deliver Third Party Risk Management in a pragmatic way that benefits Monzo and our customers. Monzo is a tech-focused bank with bold ambitions, and we believe in making strong internal and external relationships. To effectively manage and build relationships across the Monzo Group and with external suppliers, the Third Party Risk Management team takes charge of making sure we have well-defined controls, processes and governance models in place to meet the continually growing and evolving demands of global Third Party Risk Management regulations.

Responsibilities:

• Bringing your unique risk and control expertise gained in global organisations, to help embed and integrate Habito into Monzo’s third party risk management framework.
• Designing, implementing and managing operational processes in order to achieve this.
• Balancing strategic thinking with practical execution, including undertaking necessary administrative or operational tasks when required.
• Striving to achieve high standards and instil established best practices in risk management.
• Taking a collaborative and partnered approach to achieving business objectives with internal teams and external suppliers.
• Having the ability to be both tactical and strategic when developing and delivering third party risk management solutions for Habito.

Qualifications:

• You’re experienced in working within highly regulated environments and know how to navigate complexity with confidence.
• You’ve led or contributed to sustainable improvements in risk processes, making lasting, practical impact.
• You’re skilled at delivering third-party risk management in a collaborative, matrix environment.
• You bring a strong understanding of outsourcing regulations, ideally from the banking or financial services sector.
• You communicate with clarity, tact, and pragmatism, building trust and influence at every level.
• You have a keen eye for detail, and enjoy developing, reviewing and implementing effective processes.
• You’re confident interpreting risk regulations and standards across different jurisdictions.
• You’re well-versed in cyber, information security, and data risk management.
• You’re familiar with third party risk management tools and systems.
• You’re comfortable taking a hands-on approach and contributing directly to execution.
• Delivery-focused, with a genuine passion for creating sustainable, innovative solutions.

Benefits:

• This role can be based in our London office, but we’re open to distributed working within the UK with ad hoc meetings in London.
• We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team.
• £1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.
• We will set you up to work from home; all employees are given Macbooks and for fully remote workers we will provide extra support for your work-from-home setup.
