Job description

Join to apply for the IT & Security Manager role at Goodlord

🖥 Hybrid working as standard: 2 days a week in the office, the other 3 days remote (or office if you prefer)

To give you some idea of the scope & scale of this role, we are around 320 employees predominantly based in the UK and our IT team consists of this role plus one other.

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Goodlord's mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world 🌎
• 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:

• Leading ISO compliance activities, audits and security documentation.
• Developing and delivering security awareness training and guidance to staff.
• Leading the response to all internal IT and corporate security incidents.
• Managing security reviews and compliance for all third‑party vendors.
• Handling external security audit requests and customer due diligence.
• Managing employee hardware procurement, deployment and security. We have a mixture of devices including Chromebooks, Windows, Linux and Mac.

What we need from you:

• You have hands‑on experience managing corporate IT infrastructure and security.
• You have experience developing security policies and conducting company‑wide security training.
• You have maintained ISO 27001 or similar compliance frameworks previously.
• You are proficient in the management and administration of Google workspace.
• You can manage vendor relationships and coordinate with external auditors.
• You are comfortable balancing operational IT support with strategic security work.
• You are pragmatic about security, protecting the business without hindering productivity.

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 and you can use your £1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!
• 💕 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
