The Team
Automotive sits within Zopa’s lending product organisation, working across the full journey from the decisioning and pricing engine through to customer and dealer experiences. It is a high-impact part of the business, with an ambition to more than double originations over the next four to five years.
You will work closely with Sales, Credit Risk, Technology and Operations to turn a complex set of commercial and customer challenges into a focused product roadmap. The role has real breadth: improving how we serve dealers and brokers, making decisioning smarter, and removing friction from the processes that matter most.
This is a senior individual-contributor role with the space to shape how Automotive grows. You will have strong senior partners and the opportunity to build influence across a business where the best ideas win through evidence, clarity and good judgement.

Diversity Statement
Zopa is proud to offer a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds leads to better products for our customers and a unique company culture for our people. We are made up of nearly 50 nationalities, have a DE&I forum made up of Zopians wanting to make a difference and we are proud of our culture where everyone can bring their full self to work. Our approach to DE&I is reflected in our hiring process so please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments.
Our approach to AI in interviews
At Zopa, AI isn't something we're testing out — it's part of how we work every day. As a proud partner of Jobs 2030, we're committed to building AI fluency across our workforce, and we expect Zopians to use AI as part of how they do their jobs.
Because of that, we want to be transparent about how we think about AI use during our hiring process.
Behavioural and competency-based interviews: please don't use AI. These conversations are designed to understand you — your experiences, your judgment, and how you've approached real situations. An AI-generated answer can't tell us that. What it can do is get in the way of us finding out whether we're the right fit for each other.
Technical interviews: it depends on the role. Some technical stages actively welcome AI use, others don't. Your Talent Partner will let you know what's expected at each stage. Where AI is part of the assessment, we'll be interested not just in the outcome, but in how you used it – the tools you chose, your reasoning, and the decisions you made along the way.
