Help build the National Housing Bank
The National Housing Bank (NHB) is a new government-backed financial institution, operating as a subsidiary of Homes England, established to unlock investment and accelerate housing delivery across England.
The role of the Guarantees team is to originate and structure guarantee transactions using the National Housing Bank's £5.5bn guarantee capacity to address market inefficiencies and barriers, unlock institutional funding and support government housing objectives.
About the Role
The Senior Manager will play a key role in developing and executing government-backed guarantee products that mobilise private sector investment into housing and regeneration.
This role sits within the Guarantees team's New Products function and you will join a growing team of structured finance, credit and housing specialists responsible for originating, structuring and delivering innovative financial solutions for the housing sector.
This is a market-facing role requiring strong financial, commercial, transaction structuring and stakeholder management skills. The role will support product development and transaction execution, taking opportunities from concept through due diligence, approvals and implementation.
Success in the role will depend on building strong relationships across government, the housing sector and financial markets. The role holder will engage with investors, lenders, developers, advisers and delivery partners to originate, structure and deliver guarantee solutions.
About You
We are looking for a commercially minded finance professional with experience of complex financial transactions and a strong understanding of risk, structuring and investment decision-making. You will have strong analytical and financial modelling skills, with the ability to assess transaction structures, identify key commercial considerations and present clear, evidence-based recommendations.
You will be proactive and comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously, while working collaboratively with colleagues, government stakeholders and private sector partners.
Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to help shape a new institution with a clear purpose and support housing delivery at scale.
Why Join?
Backed by £16bn of new financial capacity, the National Housing Bank will work with investors, lenders, developers, housing associations and government partners to crowd in more than £50bn of private investment and support the delivery of 500,000 additional homes across England.
This is a rare opportunity to work collaboratively across teams within the National Housing Bank.
