At Monzo our mission is to make money work for everyone. Central to this is making sure the bank is safe and secure for our customers. We’re always keen to hear from people who believe in our mission and want to join us on this journey.

We’re looking for a proactive, curious, technically-minded and organised Senior Security Analyst to join Monzo's Security team.

Our team is Monzo’s front door to Security, helping the whole business operate securely. This means you’ll get exposure to a wide range of business context and a broad mix of information security work. One day you might be assessing the security of a new supplier; the next you could be supporting an audit or assurance review, assessing the risks of a new product or technology change, updating a policy, or helping a team turn regulatory requirements into practical action.

You’ll work closely with security specialists, engineers, product teams, third party risk, procurement, and colleagues from across Monzo to solve interesting problems and strengthen how we effectively manage security risk as we grow.

We want security to protect Monzo without creating unnecessary friction or compromising user experience. You’ll have the opportunity to make a notable impact in an environment where security is both a priority and an opportunity for innovation!

🔑 You’ll play a key role by...

Delivering third party security and supplier security assurance: assess new and existing suppliers, reviewing questionnaires, certifications, and other evidence to understand their security posture. Use your judgement to identify risks, translate technical findings into recommendations, and work with teams across Monzo to manage them throughout the supplier lifecycle. Help us build a more effective, scalable and industry-leading third party security capability as Monzo grows!

Delivering security assurance activities: lead and contribute to control testing, PCI DSS assessments, regulatory reviews, and internal and external audits. Evaluate evidence, identify gaps and work with teams across Monzo to see findings and remediation through to completion.

Strengthening our governance: improve security policies, procedures and controls so they’re practical, proportionate, and reflect how things work in reality.

Supporting our Security Front Door: work alongside our other analysts to respond to security questions and requests from across Monzo, bringing in specialists when needed and finding ways to make the experience better for other Monzonauts.

Taking ownership and running with it: turn loosely defined security problems into clear outcomes, work out the best way forward, and bring in the right people to make it happen.

Helping teams build and change safely: work with engineers, product teams and other colleagues to understand what they’re trying to achieve. Review new products and technology or business changes, identify security risks and control gaps, and turn security and regulatory expectations into requirements that work in practice.

Improving how we work: use data, automation and AI to make our processes simpler and more scalable, while exploring new ways technology can help us work smarter.

Raising the bar for security: bring fresh perspectives to real-world security challenges, keep developing your own skills and knowledge, and help less experienced analysts grow.

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

You understand security risk: you’re comfortable identifying and assessing security risks, and can recommend proportionate ways to manage them. Experience in third party security or supplier security assurance would be a bonus!

You can evaluate security evidence: you can review supplier questionnaires, security policies, penetration test reports and assurance evidence, and know when to dig deeper.

You have strong security fundamentals and technical curiosity: you understand core security concepts and good practice, are comfortable getting into technical detail, and ask thoughtful questions to get to the heart of a problem.
