London, United Kingdom Homes England Full time

**Assistant Director, Infrastructure Grants Transactions**:
Closing date 07/06/23

**A bit about the role...**:
Working in the Infrastructure Funding team led by Director Pauline Schaffer, the Assistant Director of Infrastructure Grant Transactions will play an important role in working with our partners to deliver critical infrastructure to unlock new homes. The Grant Transactions team of 20 people make up c. a third of the overall Infrastructure Funding team.

The role involves leading the national transactions’ team who are involved in structuring opportunities, technical due diligence work of projects and transacting Grant Funding Agreements (GFAs). You will be a key member of the senior leadership team, supporting the Director to deliver a clear mission, achieving clear strategic objectives and business plan targets, whilst promoting the Homes England values.

You will lead stakeholder engagement with key external stakeholders at a senior level including Local Authorities, DLUHC and developers. This will also include internal senior stakeholder relationships, particularly Markets, Partners and Places (MPP) and Land & Development.

Pauline believes in delivering a first-class customer service, taking an innovative and creative approach. Pauline believes in working in a collaborative and flexible way to foster good decision making and problem solving within her team.

This is a rare chance to be involved with the delivery of a variety of infrastructure and housing projects in a national organisation with real social purpose and a strong strategic plan. Working with key stakeholders and a professional team you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of complex contractual and delivery issues and have the opportunity to help create new communities.

The role will support the design and delivery of key strategic projects around England. There are some ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative solutions to the unlocking of homes in England.

**A bit about you**:
As part of the day job, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

You will have experience of building and leading teams to drive business plan targets. You will have significant experience of structuring transactions using a variety of delivery funding models in both an infrastructure, development and housing environment. You will have experience of working with local and central government bodies, managing stakeholder relationships at very senior levels. You will be comfortable operating in a political and sometimes pressured environment.

You will be comfortable leading and supporting the team with complex transacting queries, aiming to deliver a cohesive mission for the team by using your strong leadership and technical skills. You will be proficient in identifying areas for continual improvement. You will have significant experience in report writing for both internal and external purposes.

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours is not always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a housing delivery team. You will enjoy working in an innovative and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.

As an individual experienced in housing, development and/or infrastructure delivery, you will understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.

**What we offer...**:
We understand how important life is outside of work so, as well as competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are totally committed to flexible working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what truly matters to you.

If you do ever need a little bit of extra help we have a great employee assistance programme, financial well-being support and access to loads of great discounts with leading high street names.

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to truly be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future.

If you are a member of a professional body we’ll pay for your membership and once you get your top of the range digital kit you’ll be good to go in one of our great offices.

**Who are we?**:
We are the Government’s national housing agency. Our role is to accelerate the pace of house-building across the country, particularly in areas where there are the most serious affordability issues - meaning people are struggling to find homes.

We have the appetite, influence, expertise and resources to drive positive market change and meet the Government’s ambition to deliver 300,000 new homes a year. We are using our land, influence, funds and knowledge to increase
