Senior Manager - Portfolio

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, NHB will play a pivotal role in tackling the country's housing challenges.

We're looking for a Senior Portfolio Manager to join our Lending Alliances Portfolio Management Team and help shape one of the UK's most significant housing finance platforms.

Reporting to: Sheena Zwicky-Ross, Head of Lending Alliances Portfolio Management

As Senior Portfolio Manager, you will play a leading role in managing a portfolio of complex Lending Alliances loan partnerships with private sector funders. These recoverable finance arrangements extend NHB's market reach, leverage partner expertise and accelerate housing delivery at scale. Typical loan facilities range from £10m to £100m+.

Working within a small but highly experienced team, you will collaborate closely with lending partners, senior leaders and internal stakeholders to ensure the effective management of a diverse loan portfolio. You will identify, assess and resolve emerging issues, balancing commercial objectives with risk management and delivering excellent customer outcomes.

Portfolio Management is delivery-focused, innovative and collaborative. We pride ourselves on providing first-class service, finding practical solutions to complex challenges and creating an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives drive better decision-making.

The role offers a unique opportunity to combine day-to-day portfolio management with the design and delivery of debt funding solutions that support strategically important housing projects across England.
