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!

Zopa’s analytics function is central to how the business makes decisions, solves problems and grows. This role sits at the heart of that, helping us attract and hire the people who will shape the future of analytics at Zopa. You’ll take primary ownership of our Analytics Graduate Programme hiring, running two cohort intakes each year from attraction through to offer, while also supporting experienced analytics hiring across the business outside of peak graduate cycles. This is an opportunity for someone who wants real ownership. You’ll get the chance to shape how early careers hiring works in analytics at Zopa, improve the way we assess talent, and work closely with senior stakeholders across the business. It’s a role with plenty of scope, visibility and variety, combining high volume programme delivery with more specialist hiring. \n
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

A day in the life: Own end-to-end delivery of the Analytics Graduate Programme across two annual cohorts, balancing timelines, volume and quality. Design and run attraction activity across universities, events and digital channels to reach diverse analytics talent.

Track funnel performance, using data to make the process sharper, fairer and more scalable. Support experienced analytics hiring outside graduate cycles (e.g. data science, credit strategy, BI). Source and engage passive candidates, manage candidate experience and keep stakeholders aligned throughout.
About you: Experience running graduate or early careers hiring programmes, across both attraction and assessment. Comfortable owning end-to-end hiring, not just coordinating parts of the process.
