Job description
To support this opportunity, we’re looking to recruit a Growth Manager in Midlands region. Working with the Senior Growth Manager in the area, and members of the Affordable Housing Growth Team, the Growth Manager will play a critical role in increasing the supply of affordable housing delivery. You will be joining our highly experienced team who are committed to making positive change in people’s lives. The team believes in working in a collaborative way to foster good decision making and problem solving within their team.
This is a rare chance to shape the future of affordable housing delivery in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders and a professional, enthusiastic team from all parts of the Agency, you will support new and existing delivery partners to bring forward high-quality homes. You will also have the opportunity to help progress strategic interventions and long-term plans to deliver the homes that people need.
The role will support the design and delivery of key strategic sites with some ambitious projects to get involved with, ranging from large urban regeneration to smaller, bespoke community-led schemes. This is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing creative solutions that meet local ambitions and opportunities.
Person specification
Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders using our funding and housing market expertise, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.
You'll be comfortable supporting our partners with complex investment opportunities, aiming to unlock sites and increase overall capacity. You will be proficient in viability appraisals with good understanding of funding models.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
As an experienced housing professional, you’ll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
