• You’re a great communicator and can build effective relationships with everyone - communicate to all stakeholders, internal & external
• You’re super organised and have proven your ability to prioritise effectively and meet deadlines
• You’re proactive and diligent with a willingness to ‘roll up your sleeves’, and the persistence to follow issues through to completion
• You’re constantly trying to improve things and confident to ask questions and deep dive
• Have a strong work ethic and are a self-starter

• You’re resilient to change, flexible and adaptable

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 high growth companies it’s been a bit of a roller coaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with over 2500 happy customers and exciting new products. We have ambitious plans but with William Reeve at the helm alongside co-founder Tom Mundy and a brilliant team of over 300 talented Goodlordians we are confident we’ll achieve these.

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.

And we’re proud to have been recognised as a Great Place to work. No one likes a show off, but we can’t not shout about this. We’ve worked hard to make Goodlord great, and it’s important you know this isn’t just words on paper; Goodlordians have validated this which has led to us being accredited:

• 9th in Deloitte’s UK Technology Fast 50
• 10th Great Place to Work in the UK large-sized businesses
• 23rd Wellbeing Great Place to Work in UK Large- sized businesses
• Excellence in wellbeing for our dedication to goodlordian’s wellbeing
• Verified by Flexa as a Flexified employer - Top 100 for 2022

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.
