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
At Zopa, our Second Line Technology Risk team helps the business move fast, yet safely. We partner closely with engineering, security, resilience and product teams to spot emerging risks, challenge assumptions and make sure our technology stays secure, resilient and ready to scale.
This role is perfect for someone curious, analytical and excited by variety. You could be reviewing resilience testing around payments one week, exploring ransomware readiness the next, or using observability data to uncover emerging risks across critical services.
