BI Analyst

Our Story Hello there. We’re Zopa. We began our journey in 2005 with the drive to deliver customer-first financial products. Fast forward to 2020, we shifted gears and became a digital bank, leveraging our customer knowledge, money expertise and technical agility to forge ahead. Our diverse team is united by a mission to create simple, fair and honest financial products that have the customers’ needs at their heart.  We’re regularly recognised at industry awards for our game-changing products and are proud to be one of the market leaders in consumer lending in the UK. But our work doesn’t stop there.   After securing £220 million in our 2021 funding round led by SoftBank, we’ve entered the next stage in our journey. So far, we’ve lent out over £6 billion and made money work better for over half a million people across the UK who were looking to borrow or save with us. In less than 2 years after becoming a bank, we hit £1 billion in customer deposits and we’re also a top 5 credit card issuer in the UK. And this is just the beginning. We’re set on achieving big things with ambitious growth targets to match. This means there's a range of opportunities for you to excel and develop through a career at Zopa, while building better banking products that truly matter to our customers.     If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa.

Our customer driven approach backed by a truly data-driven culture has played a major role in the huge growth we have been experiencing and we want to further strengthen our data capabilities to continue going from strength to strength.
A key focus for us right now is to empower our Zopians with easy-to-use, accessible data, better tools and knowledge; and how do we do this? Data marts.
We are looking for a BI Analyst to define and own the development of our data marts and reporting processes.

• Energised by cross-collaboration with various teams in a complex fast-paced environment
• Intrinsically curious with a proactive approach to problem solving
