About the Company

We're Zopa Bank. Credit Cards Loans Savings Bank accounts We're Zopa, and we want to make money work better for you. Our diverse team is united in their mission of creating simple, fair and honest financial products that have the customer's needs at their heart. We're proud that this dedication is reflected in our excellent rating on TrustPilot. We've always been unapologetically honest with our customers, and value the same in return. Their feedback helps us shape what we build, so we can provide a bank fit for today, and for the future. We're not the new kids on the block though - we've been a pioneering force in finance for 16 years. In 2005, we built the first ever peer-to-peer (P2P) lending company, giving our customers access to loans built for real-life and intelligent investments backed by cutting-edge tech. In 2020, we launched Zopa Bank, meaning we could offer more - like fixed term savings backed by FSCS protection and a credit card to help customers take control of their finances. We've lent out over 6 billion and are proud to have made money work better for over half a million people across the UK, whether they were looking to borrow or save.

Responsibilities

  • ● 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.

  • ● 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
  • ● As a Director of Engineering, you'll lead an established engineering organisation responsible for one of our key business areas, with the autonomy and accountability to make a significant impact on how engineering performs at Zopa. You'll set direction, build high-performing teams and drive meaningful improvements across people, technology and ways of working. This isn't a role focused on incremental change: we're looking for someone who can identify where the biggest opportunities exist, create a clear strategy and turn it into measurable progress. You'll have the scope to influence significant technical and architectural decisions, improve engineering effectiveness and shape how we build and operate technology.
  • ● Your impact will extend beyond the teams you directly lead. Our Directors are expected to raise the level of engineering across Zopa, working closely with Product, Commercial and Technology leaders to turn engineering improvements into better business outcomes. You'll bring strong people leadership, technical credibility and a genuinely data-led approach to understanding what's working and where we can improve, while helping us push further in areas such as AI-enabled engineering.
  • ● This is an opportunity for an experienced engineering leader to take real ownership, drive substantial change and clearly see the results of the decisions they make.
  • ● As a highly collaborative role, you'll attend our Canary Wharf office 3 days per week
