Our Story

Hello there. We’re Zopa.

We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com! 

We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces. 

If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

At Zopa, our Product Analytics Managers lead teams that translate data and analysis into ideas and strategies to drive our business forward and make our products better for customers. They’re a rare mix: people who are analytical and confident in using data but who can use that data to creatively help drive decision making.

We are hiring for two critical new roles to lead the Lending Product Analytics team across our portfolio of lending products and Current Account Product Analytics team for Zopa's newest product!

This is an opportunity that can give a lot of scope to supercharge your career within a fast-scaling FinTech with huge ambitions! If this challenge excites you, we'd love to hear from you.

Lending Product Analytics Manager

Reporting into the Director of Central Analytics, this role will lead a team of analysts who will be embedded into Product Tribes across up to four different lending products. Our award-wining Lending products are growing rapidly, with over £2bn in lending balances today. As well as leading the team, this person will also directly support the Credit Cards tribe as an individual contributor to their growth. This is a brand new role and team within Zopa and a strong analytics leader will be crucial to the team's success and play a key role in shaping the future of Product Analytics at Zopa.

Current Account Product Analytics Manager

We want to transform the Current Accounts space as we have already done with loans, savings, credit cards and car finance, tying together our Zopa ecosystem, with big ambitions targeting over 1m+ active customers in 3 years' time. This role will be crucial to helping us get there so there's big opportunity for some serious career defining impact. Reporting into the Director of Central Analytics, this role will lead a small team of analysts who will be embedded in the Current Account Product Tribe. Whilst this individual will lead a small group of analysts, they will also be an individual contributor within the Current Account team supporting to provide truly actionable insights.
