Senior Community Investment Manager (Regional)

About the role

We have an opportunity for a Senior Community Investment Manager to join our team in London as we introduce a new approach for increasing and improving our social impact.

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and launching a new social impact offer and working alongside key internal departments including our Customer Liaison Service, Estates Teams, Workspace and Assets to develop Neighbourhood Plans across London and Southern England. There will be a focus on this role developing services in the priority London boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kingston and Richmond; and managing another member of staff working across priority areas including Milton Keynes, Gloucester, Havant and Exeter. 

Creative and practical, you will apply your expertise to identify and analyse resident priorities to shape the local strategy and service offer, aligning with our nationwide community investment strategic approach and expected outcomes. As a convenor and co-ordinator of services, you will focus on building and maintaining effective partnerships at all levels - from grassroot organisations and charities to funders and Local Authorities.
