Location: London / Agile working

Directorate: Development – Regeneration and Strategic Asset Management

Reports to: Senior Project Manager

The Regeneration and Strategic Asset Management team is responsible for identifying, securing and delivering regeneration and growth opportunities in line with MTVH's Business Plan and Investment Strategy. The team works across London and the south east, delivering projects from small infill schemes to some of London's largest regeneration projects.

About the role

This post works across our regeneration projects and focuses on ensuring that properties are vacant in time for planned redevelopment and ensuring those that are vacated ahead of programme are secured and well managed.

Working alongside our Senior Project Manager, this post assists with leasehold buybacks, our live-in guardians contracts and market rent properties. This work is central to being able to deliver our regeneration projects, and you will gain experience across a wide variety of developments.

You'll develop great relationships with residents as well as the Regeneration Managers leading the projects you work on. You will also work widely across the business, with colleagues in housing, lettings, property and sales. You'll balance excellent customer service with project and programme needs, via great communication and rigorous attention to detail, ensuring compliance across our processes.

This role will suit someone who has prior experience of similar work within residential development in multi-disciplinary teams, whether for a housing association or developer. A sound understanding of the legal, procedural and commercial processes that underpin vacant possession work is important, together with prior experience of managing suppliers and contractors. The role has no direct reports, but requires daily collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are a must.

About you

You'll be a confident, diplomatic, and personable team player, who consistently delivers great service and can adapt to the changing needs of large projects. Full details of the skills and experience needed for this post can be found on the job description, together with more on the day to day responsibilities.
