Talent Aquisition Partner (Early Careers)

Zopa’s analytics function is central to how the business makes decisions, solves problems and grows. This role sits at the heart of that, helping us attract and hire the people who will shape the future of analytics at Zopa. You’ll take primary ownership of our Analytics Graduate Programme hiring, running two cohort intakes each year from attraction through to offer, while also supporting experienced analytics hiring across the business outside of peak graduate cycles. This is an opportunity for someone who wants real ownership. You’ll get the chance to shape how early careers hiring works in analytics at Zopa, improve the way we assess talent, and work closely with senior stakeholders across the business. It’s a role with plenty of scope, visibility and variety, combining high volume programme delivery with more specialist hiring.
