Head of Commercial

Closing Date: 11th September

Interviews will take place week commencing 21st September

2 year Fixed Term Contract/Secondment

Working within our Help to Buy Transformation & Re procurement Programme, the Head of Commercial Management will play a key role in delivering a complex, multi year public sector change programme.

You will join a highly skilled, collaborative programme team tasked with reshaping a nationally significant service at a critical point in its lifecycle. Our focus is on strengthening data integrity, reducing operational and financial risk, improving customer experience, and ensuring long term service portability while protecting public funds.

This is a programme that values disciplined delivery and thoughtful decision making. Our Programme Director champions evidence based choices and a diversity of perspectives, recognising that the best outcomes come from constructive challenge and collective problem solving.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future operating model of one of the UK’s most high profile home ownership public services. You will work closely with colleagues across a range of specialisms to design and deliver an integrated, coherent and defensible service model. One that can stand up to scrutiny from governance forums, audit and value for money assessments while delivering long term benefits for the Agency and our customers.

As part of the wider Homes England Commercial team, the Help to Buy Transformation & Re-procurement Programme is a ring-fenced resource, to ensure this programme is delivered successfully. The team will benefit from support from the wider Commercial team whilst maintaining focus on the delivery of the programme.

You are a strategic and commercially astute leader who enjoys shaping direction, influencing decision-making, and delivering sustainable business outcomes. You have a proven ability to build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and can confidently balance commercial priorities with organisational objectives. You are comfortable leading through complexity, inspiring high-performing teams, and creating an environment where collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement can thrive.

Homes England:
The Housing and Regeneration Agency

We believe that affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people’s lives. As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, we create thriving new places and transform urban areas, combining the full breadth of our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and get more homes built.

How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations. We use our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed for the people that live there now, and in the future. And we use our funding and support to build a more resilient, diverse and innovative housing sector, helping new entrants in the market, encouraging modern methods of construction and design, and promoting the utmost attention to building safety.

Together with our partners, we’re accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country, as we seek to deliver ever more affordable homes in places people are proud to call home for generations to come.

Help to Buy, alongside other products in our portfolio, provided equity loans to support people onto the housing ladder. Homes England is the legal lender for these loans and now manages one of the largest residential mortgage portfolios in the country. While no new loans are being issued, the service remains critical. Our role is to ensure customers are supported to understand, manage and redeem their loan with confidence, while safeguarding public money through fair, proportionate and well controlled financial management.

As well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are committed to 50/50 hybrid working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what matters to you.
