Hello there. We’re Zopa.

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.

At Zopa, Analysts are the people who inspire ideas and strategies to drive our business forward and make our products better for customers. Our analysts are a mix of creative problem solvers and number whizzes with a passion for translating numbers into business opportunities and delivering insights to drive decision-making. They're also excellent communicators with the ability to story-tell with data to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Our analysts are deeply embedded into the business and will interact with individuals at all levels of the business from Managers to our leadership team.
The role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Analyst to join our AI tribe. This is a builder-style role focused on improving how transaction data is enriched, structured and trusted - and on raising the bar for how we experiment and learn.
This role is about owning ambiguous problems, designing thoughtful experiments, and pushing systems forward through curiosity and disciplined analysis of the outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About the AI Tribe
The AI Tribe sits at the heart of how Zopa turns data into intelligent products. We build and evolve the capabilities that transforms raw transaction data, Open Banking data, and other behavioural signals into reliable, structured intelligence.
A core focus of the tribe is transaction intelligence - how raw transaction data is enriched, categorised, structured, and made usable across the business. This includes merchant and category enrichment, data quality and consistency, and ensuring transaction data integrates cleanly into our broader data models.
As we move toward more AI-first ways of working, the tribe is also rethinking how transaction data should be accessed and used - not just by analysts and product teams, but by AI systems and LLM-powered tools. The work is foundational and long-term in nature: improving systems, shaping strategy, and building capabilities that compound in value over time.

A day in the life...
- Explore the current enrichment pipeline to understand how it works and where it fails
- Form hypotheses about where accuracy is breaking down (e.g. merchant ambiguity, edge cases, new patterns)
- Write code (typically SQL and/or Python) to analyse performance, quantify what's working, and identify systematic gaps
- Build quick prototypes or enrichment experiments to test alternative approaches
- Run structured evaluations, interpret results carefully, and communicate trade-offs clearly
- Work closely with Product and Engineering to embed improvements into long-term system design
- Use AI and LLM tools pragmatically - for exploration, pattern detection, prototyping logic and accelerating experimentation
- Continuously look for deeper patterns and structural improvements rather than settling for surface-level fixes

About you...
- You're naturally curious. When you see messy or imperfect data, you want to understand why. You’re also curious about modern AI and LLM tools and have experimented with using building things with them, at work or as personal projects
- Comfortable being given a broad problem and figuring out how to structure it
- You enjoy forming hypotheses, writing code to test them, and interrogating results deeply
- Strong SQL skills and ideally experience using Python for exploratory analysis or prototyping
- You’ve worked in a data-led, fast-paced environment (e.g. fintech, banking, start-up, consulting)
- Ability to communicate clearly and can explain complex findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
- You’re collaborative but independent — you don’t wait to be told the next step
