Proposition Manager

Proposition Manager

📍 Sheffiled Hybrid -  2 days per week in our Sheffield office (Fargate), the other 3 days working remotely 

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Our 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 Role

You will be responsible for researching, developing and proposing  a tenant referencing product/service proposition. You would be focused on understanding the needs of landlords, letting agents, tenants and guarantors to ensure the development of a high-quality tenant referencing service. There is a competitive landscape in our industry and we are keen to learn and take innovative approaches from other industries on how they have taken product/service offerings to another level.

You’ll be carrying out end to end project work from discovery to analysis to proposal of how to improve the referencing experience. We are looking for someone who can lead, inspire and influence key stakeholders and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver customer excellence.

This is a super exciting opportunity for someone to bring together all the different elements of the user journey so that we are aligned across the whole business from Tech Support to Referencing to Bills Included to Insurance.
