Gen H

Join the team that’s rebuilding homeownership

Everyone should have the opportunity to own a home. Homeownership brings investment in your community, feelings of security and independence.

We’re rebuilding the homebuying process to make it simple, transparent and fair. If you can help us move the dial, we want to hear from you.

Product Manager

Meet our team

In 2018, Will and Sophia were renters looking at getting on the ladder with friends.

After high-street lenders wouldn’t give the group a mortgage, they started looking into why there was so little innovation in the mortgage market. Soon, their deposit had been invested into starting a company with a mission to finally make homebuying simple, transparent, and fair.

Today, Gen H is a growing team of 70+ employees committed to transforming the UK housing market for the better.

Our values

Customer obsession

Customer success is the responsibility of every team, whatever the role. Everything we do is focused on the customer.

Urgency

We drive our team to be impatient, to challenge timelines, and to compress time cycles.

Ownership

We aim to embrace challenges and own the outcomes.

Honesty

We expect our employees to speak respectfully but frankly with one another at all times.

Humility

We listen to understand, not to respond. By respecting colleagues and our customers, we can align our individual success with the company’s success.

Ambition

We don’t allow the past and present to constrain our vision for the future. We aim to fail fast and to learn quickly.

Employee benefits

🏥 Private medical
We provide you with a comprehensive medical insurance plan to protect and support your health and wellbeing.
🐶 Dog-friendly office
We love having furry friends at our office. We’ve even got a running track on our roof if you fancy taking your dogs for a walk with a view!
🍭 Pick ‘n’ mix bank holidays
Rather than automatically receiving the bank holidays off, you will have the flexibility to choose whether to take them as part of your annual leave or to enjoy them as additional days off outside of your annual leave entitlement. This means that your annual leave entitlement is 38 days in total.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Enhanced family leave
After 1 year continuous service you’ll be eligible for:
  • Maternity leave: 16 weeks fully paid and 23 weeks statutory pay
  • Paternity leave: 4 weeks full pay (including any statutory pay) and 2 weeks 50% pay
  • We also offer shared parental leave through our partners Kane HR.
🪴 Employee mortgages
We’re thrilled to be able to provide the option of Gen H mortgages to our team. Enjoy perks like cashback on valuation and legal fees, and a discounted product range. Normal eligibility rules apply.
🏘 Hybrid working
We’re an office-led, hybrid-friendly company and we build this into our working culture. Guidelines around time in our Old street office are role and manager-dependent.
🚴 Cycle to work
We pay for your bicycle/e-bike upfront and in return, you enter a salary sacrifice agreement where you slowly pay off your bike each month, saving money on tax!
👫 Care concierge
It can be stressful to balance later-life caring responsibilities with work, often in addition to other commitments. As an organisation that is dedicated to looking after our people, we are happy to be able to share Legal & General’s Care Concierge Service with all Gen H employees.
