With seven engineering domains, twenty squads, five core products and a customer base growing by the day, there is always work to be done at Zopa, the purpose of the Delivery function is to ensure that the right people are doing the right work, at the right time and in the most efficient way possible.

More than managing specific projects, the delivery function is tasked with creating an environment conducive to agility, predictability, momentum and continual improvement.

 

1.Delivery Support 

A blanket term for numerous responsibilities that drive two key outcomes, these are increased predictability and increased momentum. 

The role will be expected to work alongside product managers, engineering managers and technical leads and duties include facilitating objective setting, road mapping, stakeholder engagement, surfacing and resolving blockers, shielding engineers from distraction and generally doing what needs to be done to allow squads to plan, prioritise and execute effectively.

 

2.Agility

Agility is the ability to switch focus quickly and easily to meet the demands of the market, and this is now the expectation of any company operating within the Fintech industry and Zopa is no different. We are committed to the core agile methodologies and delivery frameworks which adhere to those principles.  A focus of this role is proactively working with teams to identify opportunities to embed, experiment and mature processes and ways of working, absorbing what is useful and discarding what is not. 

 

3.Health and Happiness 

The Delivery manager is not a line manager, but the role is responsible for being proactive in helping squads find time and space to reflect on and to improve team mood, morale and motivation.

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.
