Our Data Protection team ⭐

At Monzo, we’re building a bank that people trust - not just with their money, but with their data. We’re looking for a knowledgeable, collaborative and experienced Data Protection Manager to make sure we’re customer and people-focused, innovative, and providing Monzo with pragmatic, business friendly advice.
