Senior Product Manager

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

We are in the beta phase of launching a Current Account and looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us to shape and build out the customer experience and features as we move to market launch and scale. 

We want to transform the Current Accounts space as we have already done with loans, savings, credit cards and car finance, tying together our Zopa ecosystem, with big ambitions targeting over 1m+ active customers in 3 years' time. This role will be crucial to helping us get there so there's big opportunity for some serious career defining impact. 

The Current Account tribe is split over multiplecustomer facing squads, one of which this Senior Product Manager will lead. 

This is a highly autonomous and high ownership role, strategising how we design and build on our core CA proposition andmain customer experiences of Current Accounts (think how you apply for an account, view your main dashboard, and make transfers). Critical to this will be ensuring customers are excited by our product and want to use itover the competition. 

Of course, you won't be doing this alone. Collaboration is in our Zopa DNA which means you'll be part of a cross-functional squad of talented and passionate engineers and designers working together from concept through to delivery. There’s no room for ivory tower thinking and dishing out requirements - you’ll need to work proactively and collaboratively from the ground up, engaging stakeholders, getting their buy in and most importantly making sure we're building the right things. 

This is an opportunity that can give a lot of scope to supercharge your career within a fast-scaling FinTech that is looking to IPO soon. If this challenge excites you, we'd love to hear from you!
