Offensive Security Manager

🚀 We’re on a mission to make money work for everyone.

We’re waving goodbye to the complicated and confusing ways of traditional banking.

After starting as a prepaid card, our product offering has grown a lot in the last 10 years in the UK. As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us. 

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 ❤️

⭐ Our Offensive Security Team

At Monzo, our Offensive Security team is an integral part of our wider Security Collective, a passionate group dedicated to enhancing Monzo's security posture and ensuring a safer environment for our customers and employees. We're the "breakers, not makers" - a team focused on finding vulnerabilities, proving their exploitability, and then collaborating with other teams to get them fixed. We don't write the fixes ourselves, but we provide expert advice to mitigate issues. We're also deeply committed to fostering diversity within our team, believing that a variety of perspectives makes us stronger.

🔑 You’ll play a key role by...

• Leading and scaling our dynamic Offensive Security team
• Owning and continually improving our team's processes and methodologies
• Acting as the main point of contact for other teams, fostering collaboration and sharing offensive security knowledge
• Engaging in strategic planning for the team's long-term direction
• Reviewing bug bounty reports and making authoritative decisions as well as scaling the program beyond where it is now
• Performing hands-on security testing across a broad range of areas, from web applications to red teaming
• Mentoring junior team members, guiding their development and ensuring the team's ongoing success

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

• You have significant experience in security testing 
• A proven track record of managing and growing high-performing teams
• You possess practiced competence with red teaming methodologies and experience using the MITRE ATT&CK framework for adversary simulations
• You're skilled in Objective-C, Go, Bash, Python, or JXA, and have knowledge of macOS C2 frameworks and hacking techniques
• You're a creative problem-solver with an inquisitive and curious nature, always seeking to learn and improve
• You're passionate about security testing and can think like an attacker

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo, we’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply - even if you don’t have everything that's listed just yet. Drop us your application, we’d love to hear from you!
