Security at Monzo

• Help define requirements for our alerting and incident response whilst we build out our Security Operations Centre
• Review staff permissions ensuring access across Monzo is following the principle of least privilege
• Take on exploratory projects that will scope out areas we should focus on next

You should apply if:

• What we’re doing in the Security team excites you and you want to make a real difference to the way in which we deliver security at Monzo;
• You're technically minded with the ability to think laterally and enjoy providing solutions to problems;
• You’re comfortable and have experience taking a lead on security projects including those that have a company wide impact;

• You’re happy reading and interpreting technical requirements, regulation and procedures;
• You love taking the initiative, prioritising and driving things forward;
• You’re comfortable interacting with technical and non-technical stakeholders;
• You are an excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing
