This is an exciting time to join Homes England, the government's housing delivery Agency. We have the resources, influence, and diverse expertise to drive positive market change through our significant investment activity. The government has put housing at the heart of its agenda and the Agency is at the forefront of that commitment with a mission to intervene in the market to ensure more homes are built in areas of greatest need to improve affordability. To help achieve this aim, government has committed over 20 billion of capital to be invested and managed through Homes England. This includes direct lending, equity investment, guarantees, land assembly and the biggest affordable home building programme in a generation.
The role of the Loans team is to assist in the development of residential housing through the deployment of development debt across the risk spectrum in order to deliver high quality homes in well-designed places. This team has the appetite and resources to shape the future of housing investment in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose.
A bit about the role...
---------------------------
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a small team working with Rebecca Riggs, the Head of Lending Alliances on lending alliance origination, in a national organisation with real social purpose.
You will play a critical role in identifying suitable lenders to partner with and create lending alliances to provide financing to developers to allow them to deliver high quality homes in well-designed places.
The holder of this role will help us to build and manage the team's transaction pipeline, take new proposals through our approval process, structure new alliances, undertake due diligence, negotiate and contract on new alliances.
There are a wide range of exciting and ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to help Homes England deliver its mission whilst bringing innovative solutions to the team's work.
A bit about you...
--------------------
Whilst our day job is to design and deliver new lending alliances, you will be used to managing competing priorities and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.
You'll be comfortable with considering and analysing the complex financial and commercial considerations that arise in the transactions undertaken by the Lending Alliance team. This will require an ambition to work creatively and to constructively challenge partners, colleagues and stakeholders. You will be experienced in real estate lending and have the ability to review financial and legal documents and proposals, identifying key commercial and policy considerations, negotiating terms, taking opportunities through approval processes and presenting arguments in a clear and reasoned manner.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn't always easy. As an experienced real estate finance professional, 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 in the Investment directorate. You will be able to demonstrate that you understand how to manage colleagues and demonstrate you can work with others in a collaborative and inclusive way. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
