The post will report directly to a Head of Portfolio Management albeit on some occasions there may be peer reporting. Line management or coaching other staff may feature. The role is to ensure that infrastructure and / or homes and funding are delivered as planned in line with the risk appetite and annual budget of the agency, whilst also safeguarding Homes England's investment and meeting the wider mission and objectives of the Agency to unlock investment and encourage market resiliency.
