Building deep sector insight—understanding housing demand, funding structures, regulation, and the key public and private stakeholders shaping the market.
Strengthening key relationships with clients, advisers, and wider sector partners, becoming a trusted voice and ambassador for the bank.
Spotting emerging issues in the sector and identifying unmet needs or challenges, using insight to recommend strategic responses.
Evaluating solutions to determine the best fit for clients, balancing financial, operational, and social impact considerations.
Supporting planning activity by developing product, customer, and market plans informed by data and aligned to wider strategic priorities.
Driving franchise growth through the development and execution of sector‑specific origination strategies that support long-term client success.
What You’ll Need
Strong sector experience within Social & Supported Housing, with clear understanding of funding models, regulation, and market dynamics.
Client relationship expertise, with the ability to build trusted partnerships across housing providers, charities, professional advisers, and sector networks.
Lending and banking knowledge, including experience supporting organisations with structured lending, deposits, and tailored financial solutions.
Strategic and analytical thinking, with the ability to interpret complex data, identify trends, and translate insight into clear recommendations.
Commercial awareness and the ability to assess financial and strategic options to deliver the right outcomes for socially driven clients.
Planning and delivery capability, developing informed customer or market plans that support both client needs and organisational priorities.
Origination and deal experience (preferred), ideally within housing associations or charitable organisations.
