Company mission
Geckoboard's mission is to help teams achieve their goals by providing insightful dashboards. They offer businesses a more effective way to communicate their goals and strategy.
Our take
Geckoboard was founded to bring consolidated data in one place to the teams and individuals who need it. They have taken this concept and adapted it into a platform that would suitable in most organisations.
Geckoboard started in 2010 and have been riding the shift towards businesses collecting and using data to drive decisions ever since.
Whilst the metric dashboard and data collection industry is extremely competitive, Geckoboard have partnered with some of the biggest and most exciting companies in the UK such as Airbnb, HelloFresh and Ticketmaster with great success, to really get a foothold in this space.
Geckoboard is likely to continue their success to date as they offer a unique platform with excellent customer service for all of their clients.

Benefits
- Investment: You’re helping us grow, so we want to make sure you’re part of our business and our journey for the long term. We offer share options, review your salary annually, and will set you up with equipment of your choice so you can work at your best.
- Development: Growing as a business is as important to us as growing as individuals. Your development is guided by our progression frameworks, continuous feedback and regular one-to-ones with your team lead. You’re also equipped with your own development budget to spend however you choose.
- Life first: We don’t talk much about work-life balance because we believe life, health and family come first. We never ask anyone to work overtime and we encourage everyone to fully disconnect from work when out-of-hours or on annual leave. Our leave policy is designed so you can take all the holiday you need (we see 25 days annual leave + bank holidays as the minimum). Some of us work part-time and everyone is free to work flexible hours to fit around their family and personal commitments. Plus, enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption policies are there to support you when your life changes.
- Community: Our everyday working style is underpinned by openness, teamwork, and a strong sense of community. The whole company meets up online once a month to share what each team is working on and understand how the business is performing overall. We also host regular socials online and in-person. This has included everything from guided meditation to cookery club, from cheese-tasting to life-drawing.
