Projects - Manager in England

Working in the south regional team, you will play a key role in the development and management of a strong pipeline of investable housing and regeneration projects across Hampshire, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. You will be joining a highly experienced and friendly team who are committed to making a positive difference by unlocking land, investment and delivery to create new homes and thriving communities.

The team is focused on building strong, effective partnerships and taking an innovative and proactive approach to overcoming barriers to housing delivery and regeneration. We work closely with combined authorities, local authorities, developers, investors and other stakeholders, helping to coordinate activity across projects and programmes through structured engagement such as multi-functional teams and steering groups.

This role offers the chance to balance day-to-day delivery with the opportunity to shape longer-term housing and regeneration strategies that are of the utmost importance to the places we support. This is a great opportunity to shape the future of housing delivery in a national organisation with a clear social purpose.

You’ll be comfortable working on complex development opportunities, including projects where there are competing priorities, viability issues and infrastructure delivery challenges. You’ll apply strong project management and communication skills to support partners and colleagues to navigate housing and regeneration challenges and unlock delivery.

You’ll be confident in building and managing relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and be able to influence and negotiate to achieve positive outcomes. You’ll bring commercial awareness, experience of working with funding and budgets, and an understanding of housing and regeneration sectors.

Delivering on a mission as ambitious as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders, often leading on meeting items, managing actions and driving progress across multiple workstreams, with your approach informed by a strong understanding of the commercial and operational environment we work in.

You will enjoy working collaboratively as part of a team, valuing different perspectives and contributing to an inclusive and supportive working environment. You’ll also be motivated to find innovative solutions, potentially through improving data, processes or partnership working, and continuously improve how we work to deliver better outcomes.
