• English is our business language, so we expect you to be fluent in speaking and writing.
• Real estate is a locally driven market. Near native knowledge of the local language is a necessity.
• Change is the only constant. Don’t ask us where you will be in two years’ time. We don’t know – but we can guarantee you it will have been fun. That’s why an open mindset and eagerness to learn are indispensable for every Goodman employee.

Selection process

• If you match the skill-set we are looking for, the first stage of the selection process is a first telephone interview followed by an online aptitude test. This will give us a more detailed insight into your skills, goals and motivations.
• Impress us at this stage and you will be invited for an interview on technical skills and an interview on cultural fit.
• As a final round you will be a invited to work on a business case in our Brussels office.
• Should your background, personality and ambition fit our needs, culture and opportunities, then we will be very happy to make you an offer.

How it's like to work at Goodman?

We are constantly working on enhancing agility and increasing well-being at work. In order to reach those objectives, we work in collaborative teams to fulfil three basic human needs: affiliation, growth and self-direction.

We work in a flat organization, which offers you space to grow, possibility to have responsibilities and take leadership of many things no matter your level of experience and your role. That means we offer you flexibility and freedom in your day to day job within a feedback culture.

So no overriding managerial hierarchy that holds responsibility for the organization. All Goodman employees have autonomy to take initiative and have space to grow as professionals and as persons. We strive for an open feedback culture where we learn from each other and where distributed leadership offers everyone opportunities to take on new challenges more easily.

We create space for your greatness!
