Based in our Lincoln City Centre office 3 days per week with the remaining 2 days working remotely

The Opportunity:

• Be the point of contact for customers, clearly communicating outcomes and keeping landlords, guarantors, letting agents and tenants informed throughout the journey.

• Build strong relationships across Goodlord, working with internal teams and external stakeholders to resolve queries, overcome challenges and keep claims moving.

What we need from you:

• Experience working in a customer-focused, process-driven environment, where delivering a great customer experience is at the heart of what you do.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to quickly build rapport and trust with customers and stakeholders, both over the phone and in writing.

It would be great (but not essential!) if:

• You have previous experience working in the lettings industry or within an insurance environment.

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Our 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 320 Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission!

Why you'll love being a Goodlordian

Aside from the role, the people, our culture and our mission, we have some other things that make Goodlord a pretty awesome place to be. Here’s a few favourites amongst Goodlordians (check out our careers page for more info).

• 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
