This role will have day-to-day responsibility for advising on compliance matters associated with Monzo’s Borrowing Collective covering primarily Homeownership (mortgage credit broking) as well as supporting on our unsecured products (loans, overdrafts, Flex) reporting directly to Monzo’s Head of Compliance Advisory.

This role will partner directly with our Product teams to ensure we fulfil our Consumer Duty requirements, launch products safely and meet our regulatory compliance obligations.
