About the Role

Goodlord’s mission is to provide the best renting experience in the world and we’re on the hunt for a Data & Insights Manager to help us achieve this.


We are looking for someone who really understands the importance of data, geeks out on data and is not afraid to show it, who will help drive and embed a data-driven culture within goodlord.

No two days are ever the same at Goodlord so what you’ll be up to will vary. The pace we move at also means priorities will change and you’ll need to be comfortable with this (we’ll support you!). But these are the things that will be core to your role and will keep you busy.

The day to day stuff:

  • Provide leadership for our data team, and lead/contribute to our data environment strategy
  • Creating data roadmaps and a data delivery approach by prioritising dashboards and insights that provide the greatest value to the company

  • Conceiving, planning and prioritising data projects
  • Aligning data projects with organisational goals
  • Leading and mentoring data analysts
  • Manipulate data into easily understandable visualisations and communicate the findings to other technical and non-technical teams across departments
  • Designing & building new data models, managing data pipelines
  • Support other departments for data ad hoc queries
  • Support the data team with regular month end reporting
  • Ability to deliver analysis and other output that meets agreed timescales

About You

You should apply if you:

  • Experience of previously leading a team of analysts
  • Experience of efficient, robust ETL and data architecture design & management
  • Experience of designing data needs at project design phase
  • Significant commercial experience as a data analyst working with data teams, ideally focused on work in or around data including Google Big Query, Azure Cosmos db and Airflow
  • Strong SQL skills, being able to write complex queries
  • Experience of working in Tableau or similar BI tool with ability to present data with end user in mind.
  • Detailed analytical skills
  • Commercial experience with stakeholders and product managers
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Adaptable to changing priorities and be enthused by fresh challenges


About Us

We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, landlord and tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution.

And we did. Like all startups it’s been a bit of a roller coaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 320 Goodlordians.

Our purpose - building the best rental experience in the world - is clear to everyone, and so too is the fact that people are central to achieving that mission; we have worked hard to make Goodlord great so we’re proud to have been ranked 10th in the UK's Best Workplaces™ 2022 - Large category.

Not only that but the following too:-

  • 18th best workplace for Women in UK large-sized businesses 2022

  • Excellence in wellbeing for our dedication to goodlordian’s wellbeing
  • Verified by Flexa as a Flexified employer - Top 100 for 2022


As if that were not exciting enough we have backing from some of the best respected technology investors out there. Our shareholders are backing us to be ambitious and we need to attract top talent to help us achieve our mission.

Our values guide our decisions, the way we work, our culture and the people we ask to join the team. We work hard, have fun and support each other. We’re not afraid to make mistakes (we’d never learn if we didn’t) and we’re always looking to challenge ourselves. Our style is collaboration based on honesty, friendship and respect.

It’s an exciting time here at Goodlord. If you’re inspired by what we’re doing, are up for a challenge and share our values, we’d love to hear from you.
