Data Scientist (Mid and Senior Level)

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?

The team  Our Data Science team helps Zopa make better credit decisions. We partner closely with Credit Strategy, Product and Engineering to turn ambiguous business problems into robust models, clear analysis and practical solutions.  We are growing a dedicated, product-facing data science capability focused predominantly on credit. The team will help rebuild and expand the models that support consumer-credit decisions, while increasing the sophistication of how we model risk, value and outcomes.  This is a hands-on individual-contributor role in a lean, collaborative environment. You will have real ownership, with space to shape the work and build alignment across the people needed to make it happen.  We are hiring at both mid and senior level, and will assess candidates at the level that best reflects their experience, technical depth and scope of impact.
