Leasehold Block Management
Hyperion Partners is recruiting on behalf of a leading residential managing agent for a Head of Risk & Governance to lead the organisation's approach to compliance, regulatory risk, and governance across its managed portfolio.
This is a newly enhanced, senior leadership role for a business that takes its regulatory and safety obligations seriously — ideal for a risk and governance professional who wants genuine influence at leadership level, not just a compliance-tracking function.
The Role
As Head of Risk & Governance, you'll take ownership of the organisation's risk framework and governance structure at a critical time for the block and estate management sector, shaped by the Building Safety Act 2022 and the wider regulatory shift toward accountability and transparency in property management. You'll work closely with the senior leadership team, operational directors, and external stakeholders to ensure the business is not just compliant, but ahead of the curve.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Developing and embedding the organisation's risk management framework across its managed portfolio
