Data Analyst, Financial Crime

Description:

We're looking for a Financial Crime Data Analyst excited to help build the bank of the future. At Monzo, we're growing extremely fast and have over six million customers in the UK, with over 150,000 new people joining every month.

At the core of this mission sits our data platform. We're great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. Every engineer at Monzo is responsible for collection of relevant analytics events from their microservices. We optimise for simplicity and re-usability – all our data lives in one place and is made available via our data warehouse in Google BigQuery. 90% of day-to-day data-driven decisions are covered by self-serve analytics through Looker which gives data scientists the head space to focus on more impactful business questions and analyses.

What you'll be working on

You will be responsible for partnering with subject matter experts in Fincrime to surface key insights that will help drive decision-making, and using data to solve Fincrime problems. You will work together with other members of the data discipline to maintain high quality, accurate data that our colleagues can rely on, improving our ability to fight financial crime and keep customers safe. Some of the problems you might work on include fraud detection and prevention, money laundering detection, signup controls, helping our investigators do their job efficiently and effectively, and helping Monzo maintain transparency and effective reporting with its regulators.

• Investigate and effectively work with colleagues from other disciplines to address and improve data quality
• Conduct deep dives into various Fincrime systems for fraud detection, transaction monitoring and customer risk to identify key business opportunities
• Develop and drive data solutions that improve our ability to fight financial crime and keep customers safe
