Job description
You will be responsible for leading and supporting a team of Transaction Senior Managers and Managers to carry out transaction structuring, technical due diligence work, drafting approval papers and contracting activity for grant funding agreements. You will also work with key partners, primarily Local Authorities, other public bodies and the private sector to review opportunities and constructively check and challenge proposals. The projects will vary in size, amount and complexity, ensuring fresh and exciting challenges which will require innovative thought and creativity to deliver.
You will work with the Assistant Director of Infrastructure Grants, Duncan Innes and collaboratively across the Infrastructure Grants, MPP (Markets, Partners and Places), and wider Investment teams and work closely with the Head of North, Nick Kelly, to achieve common objectives within the national team. The team you are joining is friendly, talented and experienced and is committed to making positive change in the delivery of homes.
We are dedicated to delivering a first-class customer service, resolving internal and external stakeholder issues informally wherever possible, taking an innovative and creative approach to transactions and project delivery. We value diversity in experience and perspective to foster good decision making and problem solving within our team.
The role offers an excellent opportunity to actively support and guide the use of public funds to help shape the delivery of infrastructure and unlock homes within a growing national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders and a multi-skilled professional team, you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of day-to-day issues and will have the opportunity to help create and develop a diverse team of colleagues to support in the complex challenges and rewards of the role.
Person specification
Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders including Local Authorities, you will be used to “spinning several plates” at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.
Educated to degree level or possessing equivalent experience you will desirably hold a relevant professional qualification (RICS, RTPI, ACCA etc). You will be experienced and comfortable in supporting both senior team members and regional teams with complex issues including structuring funding support for residential led development projects, technical due diligence, development of projects and grant funding agreement contracts, aiming to support the delivery of first-class projects. You will be proficient in multiple stakeholder management, line managing teams and have appropriate technical skills.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isnt 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 grant funding team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
As an experienced Surveyor, Planner or a similar professional, you will 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.
