An opportunity to shape the future of one of the UK's largest housing portfolios and investment programmes.
At Sovereign Network Group, we own and manage 86,000 homes across England and are investing at scale to create better homes, stronger places and greater opportunities for our customers. As we launch our new Corporate Strategy and respond to a rapidly evolving political, economic and regulatory landscape, we are seeking an exceptional leader to join us as Investment Managing Director.
As a key strategic leader within SNG, you will be responsible for maximising the performance, value and long-term sustainability of our portfolio of 86,000 homes and associated assets. Reporting to the Chief Investment & Development Officer, you will lead the strategic direction of investment across the portfolio, ensuring capital is deployed effectively to enhance asset performance, improve customer outcomes and deliver lasting organisational value.
As the custodian of our Strategic Asset Management Strategy, you will lead a sector-leading approach to portfolio optimisation and investment decision-making. Using robust asset intelligence, you will determine the most effective interventions across our homes and communities, balancing reinvestment, retrofit, regeneration, redevelopment, disposal and replacement to ensure every asset contributes to SNG's long-term success.

You will promote investment that makes our homes more sustainable, more resilient and more affordable to run, while strengthening the communities in which our customers live.
This is a rare opportunity to influence the future of homes, places and communities at national scale, shaping industry-leading investment practice while helping one of the UK's largest housing organisations deliver lasting social and economic impact.
