Our Prudential Risk team
Our Prudential Risk team is expanding, and we are searching for a Manager to join our 2nd Line Treasury Risk Oversight team. You
will be part of the broader 2LoD Risk and Compliance department here at Monzo.
This represents a fantastic chance to contribute to a scaling bank with high aspirations. By joining the Treasury Risk Oversight
team, you will champion our value to "grow Monzo safely." Your focus will involve collaborating with 1st Line Treasury Markets to
provide expert second-line oversight of their increasing investment activities and execution controls.
In this role, you will partner with Treasury Markets as they oversee a £9.5bn portfolio that is set to scale and diversify across
various securities and financial instruments. You will be instrumental in providing robust monitoring and challenge regarding new
investment initiatives and current portfolio performance. Conducting independent credit reviews, resilience testing, and
collateral oversight are central to this position.
We are looking for someone with a solid grasp of the asset classes typically found in a retail bank's treasury holdings, such as
Sovereign debt, Covered Bonds, ABS, and CLOs. Familiarity with FX market products, repurchase agreements, and interest rate
hedging tools is also highly valued.
A successful applicant will bring hands-on experience using Bloomberg for credit and market analysis, alongside the ability to
leverage rating agency data and technical stress testing to build comprehensive credit views.
You will also have the space to expand your expertise into Treasury ALM as part of our holistic approach to Treasury Risk
Oversight.
You’ll play a key role by…
- Overseeing our growing Treasury investment portfolio and analysing wholesale credit risk via the regular monitoring of market
and liquidity risks, alongside collateral performance monitoring.
- Writing independent credit assessments for proposed counterparties and securitisations.
- Conducting independent stress testing of ABS and CLO structures to evaluate portfolio resilience.
- Representing 2LoD in investor roadshows with a view to better understanding collateral, structuring, and the inherent risks of
securities.
- Monitoring market trends and themes in wholesale credit markets and the wider macroeconomic environment, and raising emerging
risks to the Treasury Markets team (a Bloomberg Professional license will be provided to assist you with this analysis).
- Acting as a key contributor to the Wholesale Credit Risk Forum, where you will present a 2LoD view of the risk profile of the
investment portfolio.
- Reviewing monthly information submitted to ALCo packs and actively contributing 2LoD opinions on specific approval topics.
- Playing a core role in the 2LoD oversight of new proposals put forward by Treasury Markets within a rapidly growing and
ambitious environment.
- Ensuring appropriate controls exist and are consistently monitored across all Treasury Dealing activities.
- Developing an understanding of Treasury ALM (Asset Liability Management) in order to understand its strategic links to Treasury
Markets activities, while providing support to ALM risk oversight.
We’d love to hear from you if…
- You have relevant experience gained within a bank, a consultancy, a credit rating agency, or a regulatory body.
- You have a genuine desire to learn and grow, and you are excited about building enhanced 2LoD oversight within a dynamic,
fast-paced environment.
- You have a solid understanding of key asset classes that make up a Retail Bank’s treasury investment portfolio, such as
Sovereign and Supranational debt, Covered Bonds, Asset Backed Securities (ABS), and Collateralised Loan Obligations (CLO).
- You understand securitisations, including their structural features, underwriting processes, and standards, as well as how to
stress test them
- You can critically evaluate risk data, with familiarity handling investment prospectuses from security issuers and the ability
to review credit rating agency reports to pick out, understand, and challenge key risks.
- You possess knowledge of key market products, specifically those used across FX markets, repos, and interest rate derivatives.
- You bring hands-on system and technical experience, which may include previous use of Bloomberg for pricing, liquidity, and
credit analysis, exposure to a Trade Management System, and a working use of Python/SQL with the ability to develop reporting
dashboards.
- You are a good relationship builder who can develop productive working connections with 1LoD stakeholders across all levels of
the business, whilst maintaining the ability to provide robust, informed challenge and review to ensure our safe growth
- You understand prudential regulatory requirements, with a specific focus on the topics of liquidity and capital and how they
impact a bank’s investment portfolio.
