One agent responded, and she subsequently signed with them, marking the beginning of her professional acting career.

In 2013, Hope landed the role of Myranda, the sadistic lover of Ramsay Bolton, in the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Initially intended to appear in a single episode, her character's storyline was extended over three seasons. Throughout her career, Hope has also had a strong presence in theatre, collaborating with renowned directors such as Scott Elliott, Ed Harris, and Rupert Goold. Some of her notable theatre credits include Buried Child, Good for Otto, Midsummer Night's Dream, and Albion.
In 2016, Hope appeared in the British films A United Kingdom and Allied. The following year, she starred alongside Richard Gere in Jon Avnet's Three Christs and co-starred in the horror film The Nun, playing the role of Sister Victoria.
