Senior AI Analyst - QA

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? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

Are you ready to revolutionise how we deliver quality at scale? We're looking for an exceptional Senior AI Analyst to lead the transformation of our Quality Assurance function using GenAI and advanced analytics.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created role with significant scope for impact. You'll be at the forefront of reimagining how Zopa ensures exceptional customer outcomes across all our operations.

Currently, our QA team manually evaluates customer interactions-from staff and chatbot conversations to back-office processes-assessing quality across customer experience, compliance, and security. Whilst effective, this manual approach limits our coverage and speed of insight.

The Vision

We've launched an ambitious pilot to harness GenAI for automated, scalable QA. You'll help us realise our long-term vision: AI-powered scorecards and analytics evaluating 100% of customer contacts (chat and telephony) and back-office tasks, surfacing issues in real time and uncovering strategic opportunities to enhance both processes and agent performance.

What We're Looking For

A natural problem solver with strong technical capabilities and genuine interest in operational excellence. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are energised by the prospect of building something transformative from the ground up.

If you're ready for a career-defining challenge where you'll shape the future of quality assurance, we want to hear from you.

• Evaluation and Optimisation of AI performance : Designing eVals and metrics to ensure the AI is performing as expected and monitor it on an ongoing basis
• Surfacing and Analysing Results: Using SQL, Python, and Tableau - making key data accessible and actionable for stakeholders, identifying patterns, trends, or recurring issues
• Regulatory Issues: Highlight where processes or conversations may have caused customer detriment or regulatory breaches leading to swift manual review and remediation
• Effective Agent Performance Insight: Provide Management and Agents the ability to promptly view dashboards displaying overall performance, as well as highlighting area of development with detailed reasoning commentary and suggested improvement actions.
• Real time QA: Work with product, engineering and data science teams to build a roadmap to real-time QA, enabling agents to make corrections in-the-moment.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with Operations leaders, Risk & Compliance, Product, and Customer Experience teams to ensure QA insights translate into meaningful business improvements and align with regulatory and strategic priorities.
• Change Enablement: Work with stakeholders across functions to embed AI-driven QA insights into training, process redesign, and product roadmaps, ensuring recommendations are acted upon and deliver measurable value.
