**The role & what you take care of**:
As a member of the Magna Leadership Team you will engage across the business, bringing your specialist skills in investment and increasing the supply of new homes. You will collaborate closely with the Head of Asset Investment, providing investment and options appraisals on land and property already owned by Magna. While your focus will be on affordable homes, you'll also consider open market options that meet local needs and support the delivery of our affordable homes program.

**What you need to be successful**:

- You will possess extensive experience in land and property investment, including a deep understanding of land and planning regulations and complex multi-tenure regenerations, alongside a proven track record in implementing joint venture and partnership models to optimise the balance between risk and return, aligned with Magna's risk appetite. Additionally, demonstrating a strong history of adhering to audit and compliance requirements set forth by funders, while consistently meeting performance indicators for various investments.
- A solid working knowledge of the construction process and construction project management is essential, along with the ability to conduct feasibility studies and financial appraisals effectively. You will have experience in managing teams and fostering a cohesive "one team" approach to new business initiatives.
- Proficiency in negotiation and coordination of large and diverse building contracts to ensure successful delivery by the project management team is crucial. Moreover, you will be adept at managing large budgets, drafting policies, and developing procedures to support operational efficiency and compliance.
