Senior Manager – Housing and Infrastructure Grant Transactions

Closing Date: 18/10/2026

Interviews will take place week commencing 09/11/2026

About the Role

You will be joining our experienced Housing and Infrastructure Grant Transactions team led by Nick Kelly as part of the wider Housing and Infrastructure Grant funding team led by Pauline Schaffer. We are committed to making a positive impact by funding housing and infrastructure to unlock new homes and residential mixed-use developments, supporting growth and regeneration. Working in a team with our current Heads of Infrastructure Grant Transactions Angela Kiwanuka, Michael Telfor, and Jon Sayer, the Infrastructure Grants Transaction Senior Manager will play a critical role in supporting the development of our pipeline of transactions supporting senior managers through the due diligence, contracting, and approval process for grant-funded propositions across the Country.

Angela, Michael, and Jon believe in working in a collaborative, flexible, and supportive manner, resolving issues informally wherever possible. Working with key stakeholders and a multi-skilled professional team, you will ensure efficient, consistent, and effective progression of projects through approval stages and the agreement of grant funding agreements with partner organizations. This is an excellent opportunity to support housing delivery working in a national organization with real social purpose.

The Housing and Infrastructure Grant Transactions team is dedicated to delivering a considered and measured approach to projects, applying innovation and creativity to grant issues. The team values diversity in experience and perspective and working in a collaborative/flexible way, to foster good decision-making and problem-solving.

The role will support grant recipients with the structuring of their funding requests for a wide range of projects ranging from small to large and complex regeneration and strategic projects around England. As we launch the National Housing Delivery Fund, there are exciting, ambitious, and rewarding projects to get involved with, and this is an excellent opportunity to join the team working closely with colleagues across the Agency and partners.

About You

We are looking for someone to join our team who understands and is passionate about the delivery of funding to support development and regeneration and is used to working in a fast-paced environment.

Whilst our day job is to deliver first-class customer service to our stakeholders and partners, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

You will be comfortable with regular national travel to support the development of a pipeline of projects, analyzing development proposals, working in close collaboration with other departments within Homes England and externally, managing the preparation of business cases and approvals, and contracting grant opportunities.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy.

As an experienced Economic Development, Regeneration, Surveying, Planning, or similar professional, with experience of development, financial viability appraisals, project cash flows, cost analysis, and deliverability, you will understand how to collaborate with colleagues and be able to demonstrate that you can work with partner organizations in a collaborative and inclusive way.
