Resident Engagement Manager

Pinnacle Group is looking for a Resident Engagement Manager to join our Partnerships Team within our Home Division. A key focus of the role is to ensure residents have accessible and effective opportunities to provide feedback, share their views and influence services. The postholder will champion a culture where residents feel listened to, valued and confident that their feedback leads to tangible outcomes and service improvements.

You will build strong, inclusive and resilient communities by delivering a resident engagement framework that adapts to resident needs, working closely with the Operations team to ensure a consistent approach across portfolios, while providing clients with regular insight, analysis and recommendations to improve engagement outcomes. Our Homes Division delivers trusted housing management services across Affordable, Private Rented and Leasehold properties. We work with local authorities, registered providers and investors to support thriving communities.

This is a hybrid role, predominantly remote, with attendance at our Holborn head office around twice per month alongside occasional resident engagement events. The role offers national coverage, with infrequent travel required, making it well suited to candidates based in the South East or within a reasonable commute to London.
