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!

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
We are hiring Senior BI Analysts to join our Fraud & Financial Crime and Collections & Recoveries teams.
These roles are ideal for technically strong, curious analysts who enjoy using data, reporting and automation to solve meaningful business problems. You will improve access to insight, reduce manual processes and build scalable data solutions that support better decisions across the bank.
We are recruiting through one pipeline and will align successful candidates to the team that best matches their experience, interests and business need.
The opportunity
Both roles have a strong BI and reporting focus, with a meaningful element of data modelling and collaboration with Analytics Engineering. You will build trusted data pipelines, establish semantic layers with clearly defined metrics and design self-serve reporting. You will enable analysis at scale and help teams monitor performance, identify opportunities and make informed decisions.
Depending on your alignment, you could support:
Collections & Recoveries
Helping to deliver better outcomes for customers in financial difficulty through high-quality MI, operational performance insight and process efficiency. You will partner closely with Collections, Operations and Credit Strategy stakeholders to understand performance, improve reporting and support data-led decision making.
Fraud & Financial Crime
Help protect Zopa and our customers from fraud and financial crime by building the data products that sit behind smarter, faster controls. You’ll create trusted MI, scalable data models and automated monitoring across fraud performance, transaction monitoring, screening and operational controls. You’ll be giving teams the insight to spot emerging threats, improve customer outcomes and meet regulatory expectations with confidence.

Diversity Statement
Zopa is proud to offer a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds leads to better products for our customers and a unique company culture for our people. We are made up of nearly 50 nationalities, have a DE&I forum made up of Zopians wanting to make a difference and we are proud of our culture where everyone can bring their full self to work. Our approach to DE&I is reflected in our hiring process so please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments.
Our approach to AI in interviews
At Zopa, AI isn't something we're testing out — it's part of how we work every day. As a proud partner of Jobs 2030, we're committed to building AI fluency across our workforce, and we expect Zopians to use AI as part of how they do their jobs.
Because of that, we want to be transparent about how we think about AI use during our hiring process.
Behavioural and competency-based interviews: please don't use AI. These conversations are designed to understand you — your experiences, your judgment, and how you've approached real situations. An AI-generated answer can't tell us that. What it can do is get in the way of us finding out whether we're the right fit for each other.
Technical interviews: it depends on the role. Some technical stages actively welcome AI use, others don't. Your Talent Partner will let you know what's expected at each stage. Where AI is part of the assessment, we'll be interested not just in the outcome, but in how you used it – the tools you chose, your reasoning, and the decisions you made along the way.
