Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity a be part of a small team working with Rebecca Riggs, the Head of Lending Alliances on lending alliance origination, in a national organisation with real social purpose.

 You will play a critical role in identifying suitable lenders to partner with and create lending alliances to provide financing to developers, allowing them to deliver high quality homes in well-designed places. 

Job description

The holder of this role will help us to build and manage the team’s transaction pipeline, take new proposals through our approval process, structure new alliances, undertake due diligence, negotiate and contract on new alliances.   

 There are a wide range of exciting and ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to help Homes England deliver its mission whilst bringing innovative solutions to the team’s work.

 

Person specification

Whilst our day job is to design and deliver new lending alliances, you will be used to managing competing priorities and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

You’ll be comfortable with considering and analysing the complex financial and commercial considerations that arise in the transactions undertaken by the Lending Alliance team. 

This will require an ambition to work creatively and to constructively challenge partners, colleagues and stakeholders.  You will be experienced in real estate lending and have the ability to review financial and legal documents and proposals, identifying key commercial and policy considerations, negotiating terms, taking opportunities through approval processes and presenting arguments in a clear and reasoned manner.

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. As an experienced real estate finance professional, 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 in the Investment directorate. 

You will be able to demonstrate that you understand how to manage colleagues and demonstrate you can work with others in a collaborative and inclusive way. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
