Description
As a Director of Engineering at Zopa, you'll lead an established engineering organisation responsible for one of the company's key business areas, with the autonomy and accountability to make a significant impact on how engineering performs at Zopa.
You’ll set direction, build high-performing teams and drive meaningful improvements across people, technology and ways of working. This isn’t a role focused on incremental change: we’re looking for someone who can identify where the biggest opportunities exist, create a clear strategy and turn it into measurable progress.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading engineering strategy and driving meaningful change
- Building a high-performing engineering organisation
- Improving engineering effectiveness through data and AI
- Shaping technology and architecture
- Partnering across the business and raising the engineering bar
To succeed in this role, you'll need:
- Experience leading sizeable engineering teams and building high-performing organisations
- Ability to demonstrate meaningful improvements to engineering effectiveness
- Experience leading significant organisational change
- Technical credibility to engage in significant design and architectural decisions
- Strong partnerships with Product and Commercial leaders
- Experience with AI and its application to engineering effectiveness
At Zopa, we value flexible ways of working. This hybrid role requires you to come to our London office 2-3 days a week. You'll also have the option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year!
