Internal Audit provides Monzo’s Board and Executive Management with independent and objective assurance on the adequacy and functioning of the system of internal controls. We’re looking for a Conduct and Compliance Internal Audit Manager who will report to the Head of Audit, Financial Crime, Conduct, Compliance and Product.

🔑You’ll play a key role by…

• Being responsible for providing independent assurance over the design and effectiveness of controls related to conduct risk, regulatory compliance, and ethical business practices across various business areas.
• Completing audit scoping, including documentation of audit scope, process understanding, risk & control identification, and testing strategies. 
• Completing audit fieldwork by testing key controls, documenting audit workpapers in accordance with our internal audit methodology, and writing high quality audit observations.
• Forming an independent view of whether the key risks to the organisation have been identified, including emerging and systemic risks, and assess how effectively these risks are being managed. 
• Delivering clear, insightful and pragmatic audit reports, ensuring factual accuracy and managing stakeholder communications.
• Maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders to ensure audit issues are resolved promptly and effectively.
• Embedding the use of data analytics as part of the core audit processes (risk assessment and planning, audit execution, continuous monitoring).
• Performing continuous business monitoring and updating the Audit team with current developments and emerging risks.
• Maintain awareness of emerging conduct risks, regulatory developments, and industry best practices.
• Ensuring that the audit universe is up-to-date and accurate, and supporting the delivery of the annual audit plan, including risk assessments and planning.
• Driving continuous improvement in the Audit team and contributing to the delivery of the team's strategic goals.
• Ensuring the principles of integrity, objectivity, confidentiality, and competency are applied and upheld.

• Have experience with internal auditing within fintechs, digital banks and financial services industry, with a focus on conduct and compliance risk.
• You feel comfortable conducting end-to-end audits autonomously, with a moderate level of supervision. 
• Have a good understanding of the IIA Internal Audit Standards and strong conduct and compliance knowledge, ideally, from prior regulatory experience or from within the financial services industry.
• Can demonstrate strong understanding of risk and control, control design and control testing approaches.
