Head - Equity, Joint Venture and Partnerships Portfolio Management

The National Housing Bank (NHB) is a new government-backed financial institution, operating as a subsidiary of Homes England, established to unlock investment and accelerate housing delivery across England.

We're looking for a Head of Equity Portfolio Management to join the team and help shape one of the UK's most significant housing finance platforms.

Working as part of the senior team within Equity and Partnerships Portfolio Management, the Head of Portfolio Management will play a key role in overseeing a portfolio of high-profile equity investments, joint ventures and strategic partnerships, all focused on housing delivery and placemaking. Working closely with the Assistant Director of Equity and Partnerships Portfolio Management, you will provide leadership across the portfolio, ensuring investments are effectively managed to deliver both commercial and strategic objectives.

The role will require the robust management and reporting of high-profile equity transactions to enable the delivery of more homes using innovative funding structures with a diverse set of Investment Partners, whilst unlocking further investment into the sector.

As part of the management team, you will be responsible for ensuring newly completed investments are effectively integrated into the portfolio and managed throughout their full lifecycle, from completion through to exit. You will also support the development of team capability, promote best practice and help drive continuous improvement across the function.

Strong commercial judgement, financial analysis and risk management skills will be essential to support investment objectives, housing targets and broader strategic outcomes. You will oversee portfolio performance, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to drive positive outcomes across a diverse range of investments.

The role also requires effective stewardship and management of key relationships with Investment Partners, including senior executives and Board-level stakeholders. You will have exposure to some of the most senior stakeholders at National Housing Bank as well as Government departments through established governance forums and reporting processes.
