About the role

  • Head of Sales Operations managing operational engine for Zopa’s Retail Finance & Payments business. Leading a cross-functional team to streamline processes and improve merchant experience.

Responsibilities

  • Set the vision for Sales Operations across Zopa’s Retail Finance & Payments business, creating consistent ways of working that still support different sales motions.
  • Lead and grow a small Sales Ops team, embedding strong operating rhythms and a continuous improvement mindset.
  • Own and optimise end-to-end commercial workflows from lead sourcing and multi-channel outreach (including AI/intent tooling) through to contract, onboarding, integration and live merchants.
  • Remove friction and bottlenecks across Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance and Operations to reduce time-to-live and improve the merchant experience.
  • Own and evolve the sales technology stack (starting with our CRM landscape), including configuration, integrations, automation, lead routing, data quality and governance.
  • Build executive-level dashboards and reporting across pipeline health, forecasting, funnel performance, onboarding progress and commercial ROI — turning CRM data into actionable insights.
  • Coach teams on best practice and drive strong adoption of tools and processes as we scale.

Requirements

  • Strong background in Sales Ops / Rev Ops / commercial process design within fintech, payments, SaaS or a similarly regulated environment (or a GTM agency background with comparable complexity).
  • Hands-on experience with CRM platforms (e.g., HubSpot and/or Salesforce), including integrations, automation, and data structures.
  • Proven track record improving B2B or merchant-led sales and onboarding workflows (e.g., conversion, velocity, time-to-live, quality).
  • Analytical and structured, comfortable using data to diagnose issues and influence decisions at team and leadership level.
  • Confident operating in fast-changing environments, building scalable foundations where processes are still evolving.
  • Strong stakeholder management across commercial and technical teams; able to align priorities and get things shipped.
  • Experience leading small teams and/or delivering through others.
  • Bonus: familiarity with AI sales tooling and/or some code-level competency; experience partnering closely with risk, compliance, onboarding or ops.

Benefits

  • flexible ways of working
  • face-to-face collaboration
  • good work-life balance
  • option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year
