We’re looking for an expert in financial crime to join our fast-growing Fincrime team here in London. You’ll work across different areas and products, including current accounts, business banking and international accounts. You’ll report directly to our Head of Financial Crime and play a strategic role in fighting fincrime. You’ll need to be a dab-hand at managing people, projects and investigations, but you’ll need to be ready to get hands-on too.
You should know that we fight financial crime a little differently at Monzo. You’ll work in a team with dedicated financial crime engineers and data scientists, which helps us to spot, assess and prevent crime quickly. We choose not to split out different areas of crime, either. Instead we tackle all financial crime together as one team. That includes AML, fraud, sanctions breaches, terrorist financing, bribery and corruption and tax evasion. You should know each of these like the back of your hand.
We’re the UK’s fastest growing bank, with 1.4 million customers and nearly 700 employees. We need a crack team of crime fighters to help us stay one step ahead as we continue to grow.
You should apply if:
You understand the financial crime risks associated with banking.
You’ve got experience communicating with senior internal and external stakeholders.
You take a strategic approach to managing risk and prioritising work.
You know when to delegate versus when to jump in and do something yourself.
You’re excited about working in a cross-functional team with engineers and data scientists.
You’re into using automated processes to find more efficient ways of working.
You want to manage fincrime analysts and help them to grow professionally.
Logistics:
We offer a competitive salary (taking into account experience and any specialism) plus stock options and lots of other benefits .
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
We’re keen to make sure we’re designing a bank that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics.

Increase tech brand visibility, so that iwoca’s fame continues to grow in the tech scene and that we attract the best talent,
Creating urgency and processes to improve our internal documentation and ensure it’s kept at the standard we agree that it should be. In particular improving the internal processes, developer guides, career progression frameworks, …
Observing other things that we need to improve and coming with a roadmap with priorities,
Enforcing data security policies, to be sure that we continue to be in compliance with regulations.
REQUIREMENTS

The ability to gain the trust and respect of the CTO and tech team captains
An effective balance of humility and ego – someone who can listen to the team needs and act accordingly

DESCRIPTION
Join one of Europe’s leading Fintech startups
At iwoca we believe finance should make life easier, not harder, for small businesses. When small businesses go to traditional lenders they are forced to deal with long waits, absurdly rigid criteria, and impersonal bureaucracies. We believe small businesses deserve a financing service that strips out the hassle; that gets to know each customer’s needs; that generates opportunities instead of problems. iwoca is finance, custom-built to expand possibilities for small business.
Your mission:
Data is central to everything we do: it drives our risk engine, enables us to develop cutting-edge UX and provides the insights we need to continuously become a better company. Our Analytics team develops cutting edge algorithms using statistical modelling and machine learning techniques; Python (Pandas, NumPy and SciPy) is our language of choice to deliver data-driven solutions. Working in a relaxed, collaborative and flexible environment, we give everyone the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the business. You will be expected to derive meaningful and actionable insights from our data as well as develop the innovative technologies behind our platform.
Whilst anchored in the Technology & Analytics team, the Operations Analyst role sits at the crossroads between data & risk analytics and business operations. You’ll be responsible for facilitating collaboration between both teams, working across a range of diverse projects, some strategic and others more tactical (the balance will be shaped over time). For example, you could be analysing data to provide actionable insights to our operational teams, working on the next iteration of our scorecard and risk engine, and managing the technical aspects of a product integration with a commercial partner.
REQUIREMENTS
We look for people that are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve. Ideally, you’ll have:
Experience in practical data processing, data visualization & information retrieval
Degree qualification in a quantitative subject (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Economics, Finance or Engineering)
Good working knowledge of Python/Pandas is preferable or R, Matlab
Someone who is organised and proactive, possessing great communication skills and a keen to interact with various teams within iwoca. You’ll have to manage stakeholders (understanding requirements, providing timely updates on progress and explanations for any changes to the roadmap, etc.) and be able to effectively facilitate collaboration amongst various teams (Tech & Analytics, country operations teams, Marketing, etc.)
Proven ability to take ownership, work with stakeholders to properly understand problems or challenges, and develop the best solutions
Comfortable challenging the status quo, able to extract clarity from ambiguity
A good command of the German language is essential
Smart, humble and motivated
Keen to push yourself and develop your own skills, while also contributing towards iwoca’s growth and success!

DESCRIPTION
iwoca is breaking down the barriers that stop Europe’s 20 million small businesses from accessing finance. Traditional bank loans have slow application processes, inflexible terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology to offer flexible access to credit with a five minute application process and a decision in hours. Since 2012, we've lent over £800 million to over 30,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, won numerous awards and grown a fun, and vibrant team.
However, we’re still near the start of our journey – our aim is to finance a million small businesses within a decade and so we need more smart, hands-on people to help us reach this goal. All this growth means that the complexity of our finance operations, reconciliation, treasury and payments have increased.
As a Delivery Manager at iwoca, you’ll be responsible for facilitating collaboration between various teams, to effectively test and roll-out new system releases and updates. You’ll be given the opportunity to work across a range of diverse projects, including both strategic planning as well as more tactical initiatives.
REQUIREMENTS
A typical day for you will be:
Day-to-day accountability for the successful delivery of the projects
Facilitating communication and cooperation via stand-ups, presentations, meetings, and workshops
Working with subject matter experts within the business to capture requirements and create Product Backlogs
Working closely across the teams to gather requirements, create roadmaps, and set the deliverables
Working with the software developers and data engineers to monitor progress, ensure smooth delivery, and proactively and decisively resolve blocks
Identifying improvement opportunities and communicating them to relevant teams, such as tech, risk and operations
We look for people that are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve. Ideally, you’ll have:
A 2:1 or above in a quantitative degree from a leading university (Business, Engineering, Science, etc.)
Highly organised and proactive, with experience working across a variety of projects within an AGILE environment
Experience working with Jira is desirable but not essential
Proven ability to take ownership, work with stakeholders to properly understand problems / challenges and develop the best solutions
Comfortable challenging the status quo
Ability to manage through ambiguity to achieve clarity when needed
Great at managing stakeholders (understanding requirements, providing timely updates on progress and explanations for any changes to the roadmap, etc.) and able to effectively facilitate collaboration amongst various teams (Tech & Risk, country operations teams, marketing, etc.)
Fluent English is essential

DESCRIPTION
iwoca is breaking down the barriers that stop Europe’s 20 million small businesses from accessing finance. Traditional bank loans have slow application processes, inflexible terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology to offer flexible access to credit with a five minute application process and a decision in hours. Since 2012, we've lent over £800 million to over 30,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, won numerous awards and grown a fun, and vibrant team.
However, we’re still near the start of our journey – our aim is to finance a million small businesses within a decade and so we need more smart, hands-on people to help us reach this goal. All this growth means that the complexity of our finance operations, reconciliation, treasury and payments have increased.
As a Delivery Manager at iwoca, you’ll be responsible for facilitating collaboration between various teams, to effectively test and roll-out new system releases and updates. You’ll be given the opportunity to work across a range of diverse projects, including both strategic planning as well as more tactical initiatives.
REQUIREMENTS
A typical day for you will be:
Day-to-day accountability for the successful delivery of the projects
Facilitating communication and cooperation via stand-ups, presentations, meetings, and workshops
Working with subject matter experts within the business to capture requirements and create Product Backlogs
Working closely across the teams to gather requirements, create roadmaps, and set the deliverables
Working with the software developers and data engineers to monitor progress, ensure smooth delivery, and proactively and decisively resolve blocks
Identifying improvement opportunities and communicating them to relevant teams, such as tech, risk and operations
We look for people that are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve. Ideally, you’ll have:
A 2:1 or above in a quantitative degree from a leading university (Business, Engineering, Science, etc.)
Highly organised and proactive, with experience working across a variety of projects within an AGILE environment
Experience working with Jira is desirable but not essential
Proven ability to take ownership, work with stakeholders to properly understand problems / challenges and develop the best solutions
Comfortable challenging the status quo
Ability to manage through ambiguity to achieve clarity when needed
Great at managing stakeholders (understanding requirements, providing timely updates on progress and explanations for any changes to the roadmap, etc.) and able to effectively facilitate collaboration amongst various teams (Tech & Risk, country operations teams, marketing, etc.)
Fluent English is essential

DESCRIPTION
Join one of Europe’s leading Fintech startups
At iwoca we believe finance should make life easier, not harder, for small businesses. When small businesses go to traditional lenders they are forced to deal with long waits, absurdly rigid criteria, and impersonal bureaucracies. We believe small businesses deserve a financing service that strips out the hassle; that gets to know each customer’s needs; that generates opportunities instead of problems. iwoca is finance, custom-built to expand possibilities for small business.
Your mission will be:
Application of statistical modelling and machine learning techniques.
Delivery of data driven solutions and predictions for a diverse range of business problems, including risk assessment and contact prioritisation.
Development of real-time data pipelining and delivery of ML predictions.
A/B testing and data analysis using statistical methods to generate insights and optimise existing and future business processes.
Multi-disciplinary projects with the wider tech team and business stakeholders.
REQUIREMENTS
We look for people that are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve. Ideally, you’ll have:
Strong analytical background, e.g PhD or degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science or related field; or equivalent knowledge.
Established experience from working in industry or an academic data analyst/scientist position.
Experience with statistical data analysis, ability to generate well founded insights from potentially unstructured data.
Proven practical experience of predictive modelling and pragmatic implementation of machine learning techniques to effectively solve real-world problems.
Someone that isn't satisfied with just applying out-of-the-box models, you want to know how they work, when they work and why they work.
Practical object-oriented programming experience: Python, Java, C/C++ or similar.
Experience with some of the common Python data-science toolkits: Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn OR experience with R, Matlab, and/or SQL would also be beneficial.
Self-starter with ability to work autonomously in a relatively unconstrained environment.
A healthy skepticism and desire to build innovative, but practical, solutions to business problems.
Love for coding and getting hands-on with the raw data to really understand the underlying processes and nuances of the problem.
Salary: Competitive
Location : London
Open Date: 17th May 2019
Closing Date : 16th June 2019
BENEFITS
In return, you’ll get a say in how things are done, the opportunity to make a difference to small business owners, and to work on big and challenging projects.

Traditional bank loans have slow application processes, inflexible terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology to offer flexible access to credit with a five minute application process and a decision in hours.
Since 2012, we've lent over £900 million to over 26,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, won numerous awards and grown a fun, and vibrant team.
However, we’re still near the start of our journey – our aim is to finance a million small businesses within a decade and so we need more smart, hands-on people to help us reach this goal.
About the role:
At iwoca we are dedicated to building the smartest lending platform in the world as we believe that finance should be as simple, seamless and powerful as electricity. We like to use Agile(ish) processes, which means features or projects go live in days or weeks rather than months or years.
We are very fortunate to have a passionate and dedicated CTO / Co-founder who ensures that Tech is always at the forefront of the business so the work you do is always valued. You could be doing anything from working on our REST API, asynchronous processing, automated testing patterns or contributing to our underwriting tools.
We could include a load of technical acronyms here and tell you about all the greenfield projects you could be working on, but ultimately it is important for you to know that the environment here is always exciting, challenging and fast-paced. We believe in investing in research to find the best possible outcome.
Therefore we are looking for passionate developers with an eagerness to work in a collaborative environment to build an awesome product that will help SME’s across the world.
We run our Django-powered site on AWS, use asynchronous tools (Twisted, Celery) for time-consuming tasks and scientific libraries (numpy, scipy, pandas) for risk aspects. Application orchestration is done with Docker and Ansible and our monitoring is set up using StatsD, Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana.
REQUIREMENTS
Proven experience in Backend Programming (ideally in Python)
Computer Science or Software Engineering education or equivalent industry experience
Understanding of key computer science principles including algorithms, data structures and computational complexity theory
Experience developing Python
Familiarity with / exposure to other programming languages
Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases (ideally MongoDB and PostgreSQL)
Knowledge of web frameworks (we use Django)
Demonstrable experience creating robust, clever and scalable applications
Experience doing it all: designing, developing, testing, deploying and maintaining
Ability to manage projects, priorities, deadlines and deliverables (being autonomous is extremely important for us)
Desire to continue learning and developing skills
BENEFITS
You will always have a say in the business and have the opportunity to really make a difference. Joining our team means you will be working on some cool projects and get the opportunity to really make a difference to people’s lives. We also help all our employees become top performers and reward everyone in numerous different ways. Everyone at iwoca is smart, humble and motivated to do a good job so you are bound to love working here.

Since 2012, we've lent over £800 million to 30,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, turned profitable, won numerous awards and grown a fun and vibrant team of over 200 people from 35+ nationalities.
Partnerships are critical to iwoca’s vision - we want small businesses to be able to access finance where they want it, when they want it. In practise, this means access from within a range of the day-to-day services and tools they use to run their business, whether that’s their accounting software, payments platform or even their banking service.
As Partnerships Strategy Manager, you will be responsible for developing our partnerships and direct sales strategy and working with the partnerships team and sales team to implement it. The partnerships team covers a range of partner channels, including larger strategic partnerships, affiliate websites and services, commercial finance brokers, accountants, and B2B vendors.
You will be required to develop high quality analysis and insight, and then use excellent communication and project management to guide the teams through successful implementation of your strategy. The partnerships team has already built strong relationships with a number of key partners, and your role will focus on the strategy for both optimising these existing relationships and entering into targeted new partnerships.

DESCRIPTION
iwoca is breaking down the barriers that stop Europe’s 20 million small businesses accessing finance. Traditional bank loans have slow application processes, inflexible terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology to offer flexible access to credit with a five minute application process and decisions within minutes.
Since 2012, we've lent over £800 million to 30,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, turned profitable, won numerous awards and grown a fun and vibrant team of over 200 people from 35+ nationalities.
Partnerships are critical to iwoca’s vision - we want small businesses to be able to access finance where they want it, when they want it. In practise, this means access from within a range of the day-to-day services and tools they use to run their business, whether that’s their accounting software, payments platform or even their banking service.
As Partnerships Strategy Manager, you will be responsible for developing our partnerships and direct sales strategy and working with the partnerships team and sales team to implement it. The partnerships team covers a range of partner channels, including larger strategic partnerships, affiliate websites and services, commercial finance brokers, accountants, and B2B vendors.

Natural born storyteller: you love figuring out what the searcher cares about and engaging them with a memorable narrative through content
Resourceful and great at project management: unafraid to tackle new challenges, breaking down complicated projects into simple steps, organising and rallying stakeholders to make progress in a smooth and timely way
Team player: enjoys working with others, cross pollinating ideas and learnings within and across teams
Driven, hard working and uncompromising in delivering high quality results in tight timelines
Excited about helping small businesses thrive

DESCRIPTION
Join one of Europe’s leading Fintech startups
At iwoca we believe finance should make life easier, not harder, for small businesses. When small businesses go to traditional lenders they are forced to deal with long waits, absurdly rigid criteria, and impersonal bureaucracies. We believe small businesses deserve a financing service that strips out the hassle; that gets to know each customer’s needs; that generates opportunities instead of problems. iwoca is finance, custom-built to expand possibilities for small business.
We are looking for a Head of Acquisition Marketing to join our team.
Day-to-day you will lead a team responsible for iwoca’s customer acquisition through digital and offline performance channels. Your mission will be to:
Set strategy, targets and budgets to maximise customer acquisition at target ROI, supporting company growth objectives
Grow and optimise digital acquisition through digital channels (primarily Paid Search and Paid Social)
Grow and optimise acquisition through Direct Mail and Email
Build new acquisition and lead generation channels, setting a robust test and learn agenda
Drive management reporting on customer acquisition performance across all of iwoca's channels, throughout the funnel
Partner with Product on innovation in marketing tech and data ops solutions, including attribution, digital journey analytics and lead database improvement
REQUIREMENTS
We look for people that are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve.
Ideally, you’ll be:
A passionate data geek with proven track record of delivering business growth through data-driven acquisition channels, preferable in b2b. Strong knowledge of digital a plus.
Non-hierarchical team leader, helping team members grow through coaching and mentorship, and willing to roll up their sleeves and work alongside them. Experience in start up / scale up environment a plus.
Confident and resourceful with drawing strategic insights from analysis in an imperfect world (ie when you never have all the data you’d like, exactly as you’d like it) - hands on, as well as working with business analysts and data scientists.
User centric approach to media, connecting media buying to customer behaviour
Excellent communicator: you will get people on board to get stuff done
