A key part of the role will be identifying programme risks, dependencies and opportunities for improvement. You’ll work across Development, Finance and Construction, as well as with local authorities, Homes England, consortium members and other delivery partners.
You’ll also help strengthen our systems, processes and governance arrangements, making sure we maintain accurate records, strong audit trails and effective programme controls.

You’ll have experience of:
- Supporting the management and delivery of housing development programmes.
- Working with Homes England-funded programmes and using Homes England IMS or an equivalent funding management system.
- Maintaining and analysing programme data, performance information and management systems.
- Producing reports, dashboards and management information for a range of audiences.
- Supporting audit, compliance and assurance activity.
- Building effective relationships with colleagues, partners and external stakeholders.
- Using technology and digital systems to support reporting, analysis and effective programme management.
You’ll also have strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex information clearly and provide constructive recommendations.
Experience of research, preparing business cases and supporting system or process improvements would be beneficial. A degree or relevant professional qualification in housing, construction, project management or a related area would also be welcomed, but equivalent knowledge and experience will be considered.
