Our Workplace Technology team ensures every Zopian has the tools and support they need to do their best work. If you’re driven by solving complex problems, collaborating across teams, and using automation to make systems smarter, this role is for you.

As an IT Services Engineer, you’ll take ownership of how Zopa’s workplace technology evolves.

• Continuously improve processes, identifying automation and standardisation opportunities.
• Contribute to the strategic roadmap for Workplace Technology, defining standards and best practices.
• Mentor and support colleagues across IT Services, building technical capability and knowledge sharing.
• Deliver clear, concise documentation for both technical and non-technical users.

Your toolkit

• Strong technical knowledge of Microsoft 365, Intune, Tanium, Jamf, Okta and Zoom
• Experience automating tasks using PowerShell, Python, or similar scripting tools.
• Knowledge of endpoint management, security hardening, and identity management principles.
• Experience collaborating with teams such as InfoSec, Networking, or Platform Engineering.
• Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills.
• A passion for using automation and AI to improve service delivery.

Bonus points if you have

• Experience delivering IT transformation or automation projects.
• Familiarity with zero-trust security principles and architecture.
• Exposure to monitoring tools or endpoint analytics solutions.
• ITIL Foundation or Microsoft/Azure certifications.
• Experience configuring virtual desktops, such as AWS Workspaces or Citrix

• Collaborate with experts across Zopa’s Technology division.
• Play a key role in shaping the future of our digital workplace.
• Join a culture that encourages innovation and continuous learning.
