People Partner

Job Description

📍 Lincoln - Hybrid 2 days per week in Lincoln office, 3 days remote / work from home

🚆Regular trips to other offices, including Sheffield and London (approx. 2 days a month in addition to above) are essential.

✴All travel and accommodation costs to non-base office locations are fully covered

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Goodlord's mission? To be the gold standard platform for renting 🌎

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

• Like all scale-ups it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3,000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 350+ Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission! 💚

The Opportunity:

• Partnering with our Managers to conduct organisation design, talent mapping and execute outcomes for all performance levels, to maintain a high bar across the business.

• Acting as the go-to person for Manager queries and ensuring all people priorities are all executed with precision and good judgement.

• Acting as a coach for our people managers, providing development on live issues and broader leadership skills to help them grow e.g. delivering high-impact training workshops.

• Review and analyse business metrics for your business areas; identifying trends in people data and using insights to identify, recommend, and deliver improvements.

• We are people led and policy light so if you are used to working to strict process steps this may not be the role for you - you will be helping to co-create the people processes as we evolve our people practices.

What we need from you:

• Have solid commercial experience as a People Partner/HR Advisor/HRBP/HR Generalist in a high-performing People team.

• Have strong subject matter expertise on all things ER - you’ll be expected to autonomously manage your own cases, identify risks and find ways to navigate complex situations. To reiterate, we are people led and policy light.

• Are a curious, strategic thinker who can roll up their sleeves; you’re comfortable with data and can think critically to diagnose issues and create solutions that drive a high-performance culture.

• Are resilient and can thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment; you enjoy the challenge of change and are comfortable spotting opportunities to make things better.

What's in it for you:

• Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us, that’s why we are Great Place to Work - certified. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us so we can use some of our annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally!

• Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health

• 25 days holiday (plus UK Bank holidays) plus 1 day per full holiday year up to 32 days: We believe regular breaks are essential for well-being and we encourage (some may say expect!) all Goodlordians to take full advantage of their annual leave entitlement.

• Supporting your family: we offer Goodlordians of all genders a generous 3 months of fully-paid time off to look after their new arrivals

• Our team: we’re an energetic, sociable, and talented bunch who are super passionate about what we do and determined to make a difference. We’re all in it together, we learn from each other, we’re genuine and we don’t have time for politics
