Sample interview questionsHow would you assess whether a credit-card underwriting strategy remains within risk appetite?I would begin by defining the approved risk-appetite metrics and segmenting performance by vintage, score band, acquisition channel, and customer characteristics. I would monitor approval rate, bad rate, delinquency roll rates, loss forecasts, utilization, and profitability against thresholds and expected performance. Where deterioration emerges, I would validate data quality, identify drivers, quantify the impact of potential actions, and present a proportionate recommendation and challenge to the first line.

Describe how you would use SQL to identify an early warning signal in a lending portfolio.

I would create a repeatable monitoring dataset that joins account origination, repayment, delinquency, and decisioning data. I would compare recent cohorts with prior cohorts at equivalent months on book, tracking changes in missed-payment incidence, roll rates, utilization, and loss emergence by key segments. If a material variance appears, I would test whether it is caused by mix shift, policy changes, operational issues, or macroeconomic factors, then translate the finding into a clear risk action.

What is the role of a second-line credit risk oversight team when a first-line team proposes a new lending pilot?

The second line should provide independent review and constructive challenge rather than take ownership of the first line’s decision. I would assess the target market, proposed decision strategy, model performance, affordability controls, risk limits, monitoring plan, customer outcomes, and exit criteria. I would ensure that assumptions and downside scenarios are explicit, that the pilot fits risk appetite, and that governance includes timely escalation triggers.

How would you explain a complex deterioration in portfolio performance to a non-technical committee?

I would lead with the business implication, such as the scale of expected losses, customer impact, and whether risk appetite is at risk. I would use a small number of plain-language metrics and focused visuals to explain what changed, which segments are affected, and the evidence for the likely drivers. I would conclude with clear options, trade-offs, my recommendation, and the decisions or approvals needed.

How do scorecards and NPV models inform credit strategy decisions?

Scorecards estimate relative credit risk and can support decisions such as approvals, limits, pricing, and treatment strategies. NPV models add an economic perspective by weighing expected revenues, funding costs, losses, and operational costs over the customer lifecycle. Together, they help ensure a strategy balances growth, profitability, customer outcomes, and risk appetite; oversight should challenge model assumptions, stability, segmentation, and outcomes after implementation.

Our Credit Oversight team⭐

Our Borrowing (lending) business is growing rapidly across both existing products and with the planned launch of new initiatives. As our lending portfolio grows, our second line of defence Credit Risk Oversight team is growing with it – and we’re looking for a Credit Risk Oversight Manager to join us!

Our Credit Risk Oversight team is crucial in providing support and challenge to our Borrowing teams in the first line of defence to help Monzo grow safely. We’re looking for someone (maybe you?!) with proven experience in consumer credit risk who likes getting into the details and analysing data to deliver independent assurance – and challenge – of credit risk management across the lifecycle.

Ideally you’ll have experience and in-depth knowledge of retail unsecured or small business credit risk strategy within financial services. You’ll have seen first-hand how a credit portfolio performs at different stages of the credit cycle, and have hands-on experience in shaping or overseeing lending strategies. You’ll have a collaborative approach, and be comfortable working across a broad range of stakeholders. You’ll also be someone who likes getting into the details, analysing data and providing constructive challenges.

🔑You’ll play a key role by…

Providing ongoing oversight of credit risk – this includes analysing and understanding the performance of our existing lending products, developing and enhancing monitoring metrics and providing input to relevant committees and forums

* Partnering with our first line of defence teams to support credit strategy changes – including new product launches and pilots – ensuring that we deliver magical lending products for our customers while meeting our Risk Appetite
* Delivering deep insight, feedback and challenge on our credit strategies – including data-driven analysis and actionable counter-proposals – to support management decision making and shaping better outcomes for our customers
* Leading second line assurance work on thematic reviews

* Taking a balanced and proportionate approach to risk management, making sure that managing risks becomes part of everyone at Monzo’s day-to-day role

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if you …

* Have a strong background in credit risk management within consumer or small business lending – experience in unsecured product, such as credit cards, loans or overdrafts would be particularly beneficial
* Have proven analytical skills, and can use these to interrogate data, build monitoring and look for early indicators of trends
* Have hands-on experience and/or understanding of how to use credit risk scorecards and NPV models to develop strategies for making credit decisions
* Have a solid technical toolkit; SQL or similar is a must-have, and experience using a data visualisation tool (such as Looker, PowerBI or Tableau) is a plus
* Are excited to explore how we can use AI tools to improve our credit and risk management processes
* Can convey problems and solutions using clear and simple language, both written and verbal (see [Monzo’s tone of voice](https://monzo.com/tone-of-voice/) guide). This is particularly important for communicating complex issues and priorities to non-experts

* Have a track record of building and maintaining trusting relationships with stakeholders, while providing effective and respectful challenge
* Are passionate about technology, and what we’re doing here at Monzo excites you!
