Senior Risk & Control Managers that support the COO are responsible for leading risk business partnering for one or more areas in the COO to foster a risk-based decision making culture, provide guidance on regulatory compliance in conjunction with Monzo’s second line of defence and advise on correct governance paths.  They also make sure area key risk indicators are well-defined and understood, monthly MI and reporting packs are created and risk and control assessments are completed appropriately.
