Community Investment Manager at Omni RMS, Old Oak Common

ommunity Investment Manager

Old Oak Common, London

Permanent, Full Time

Do you want to deliver projects that leave a lasting impact on local communities, rather than simply talk about them?

Our client, Taylor Woodrow, a leading infrastructure and civil engineering specialist, is seeking a proactive and passionate Community Investment Manager to join the team delivering one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects, HS2's Old Oak Common Station, working within the Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA (BBVS) joint venture.

This is not a traditional stakeholder engagement role. We're looking for someone who can turn a great idea into a completed project. Someone who can build relationships across the supply chain, engage directly with local communities, and bring together people, skills, materials and resources to create meaningful social value outcomes.

About the Role

As Community Investment Manager, you will lead the delivery of community investment and social value initiatives across the project. Working closely with subcontractors, schools, charities, local organisations and project teams, you'll identify opportunities to make a real difference and then drive them through to successful delivery.

One week you might be coordinating volunteers and construction specialists to renovate a community facility. The next, you could be developing partnerships with local schools, delivering community events, reporting project outcomes, or working with supply chain partners to maximise their social value commitments.

You'll also play a key role in developing and delivering the Community Investment Strategy while helping ensure every initiative delivers genuine benefits for local people.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver community investment programmes and social value initiatives.
• Develop strong relationships with subcontractors, project directors and local stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to utilise supply chain expertise, labour, materials and resources to support local communities.
• Manage community investment projects from concept through to completion.
• Oversee reporting and performance metrics for community investment activities.
• Lead client reporting requirements.
• Support community events, exhibitions, engagement activities and local partnerships.
• Promote social value opportunities across the wider project and supply chain.

About You

We're interested in people who are naturally proactive, confident and resourceful.

You may already be working within:

• Community Investment
• Social Value
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
• Community Engagement
• Stakeholder Engagement
• External Affairs

Most importantly, you'll have a track record of delivering projects and building relationships that create a positive impact.

You'll Bring

• Experience managing community investment, social value or community engagement programmes.
• Strong project coordination and delivery skills.
• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management capabilities.
• Experience engaging with external organisations and local communities.
• Confidence presenting to groups and representing an organisation externally.
• Experience producing reports and demonstrating outcomes.
• The initiative and resilience to overcome obstacles and get projects over the finish line.

Desirable

• Experience within construction, infrastructure or major projects.
• Knowledge of social value delivery and supply chain engagement.
• CIPR qualification or membership.
• Canva experience.
• CSCS Card.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to be part of one of the UK's largest infrastructure schemes while helping create tangible, long-term benefits for local communities. You'll have the freedom to develop innovative initiatives, work with a diverse range of stakeholders, and see the direct impact of your work every day.

If you're someone who thrives on making things happen, enjoys building relationships, and wants to leave a positive legacy on a nationally significant project, we'd love to hear from you.
