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
The role:
At Zopa, our Software Engineering Managers play a key role in the success of our business and the effectiveness of our Engineers. They are passionate about developing people and nurturing them as engineers to build great things and progress their own personal development. You will manage a team of engineers building the platforms and systems that power compelling products for our customers.
As a manager, you will be responsible for ensuring your team are engaged and performing as effectively as possible. To do this you will collaborate with Product and other stakeholders as part of strategic planning; as well as have a good heads-up view of the challenges coming and be responsible for capacity planning, performance management and community building to maximize our ability to meet them. You will drive quality across all stages of the SDLC to ensure quality is central to building software and partner with Delivery to champion our Agile ways of working.
The team:
Excitingly, we are growing across several product-engineering tribes at Zopa which means we need Engineering Managers across multiple teams. You could be joining our Current Account, Mobile Engineering, Product Enablement or Operation Efficiency teams to take Zopa products and Engineering to the next level. As we move through the interview process we will ensure you meet a range of Zopians from different teams and assess which team you would have the most impact in.
Regardless of team, our Engineering Managers work in a hybrid manner so this role will be coming into our London Bridge office 2 days a week.
About you:
- Passionate about creating impact through empowering others and believe in supportive and humble leadership.
- Self-driven, ambitious and results focused. You chart a path for others rather than follow one.
- Passionate about technology and using it as a tool to provide great customer experiences.
- Consider quality as a first class concern and have a proven background in improving quality in previous roles.
- Experienced building, running and supporting complex systems in production.
- Proven people management skills and are experienced in supporting Software Engineers’ personal and career development.
- Enjoy owning and solving problems. You can create structure out of ambiguity, think about problems holistically and can drive an agenda while juggling multiple demands.
- You are empathetic with strong relationship building skills and can communicate clearly and succinctly across a broad range of stakeholders throughout the software development process, managing expectations as you go.
