The Regulatory Affairs team is the central team responsible for maintaining open and collaborative relationships with our regulators across the Monzo Group. In the Regulatory Affairs team, you’ll support and strengthen Monzo’s regulatory relationships and work closely with Executives to help shape our vision and regulatory affairs strategy as Monzo continues to grow.

• Preparing data driven reports for the Executives that are clear, concise and informative.
• Building and enhancing our policies and procedures for engaging with regulators.
• Being a champion of risk and compliance and building respectful and collaborative relationships with all levels of stakeholders across the business.
