- Work closely with other Leads in the programme, specifically the Homes Lead and Employment Lead - and the central Partnerships team to ensure a joined-up approach which delivers maximum impact for Homewards and The Royal Foundation
- Work across the Homewards team to prioritise, co-develop and deliver the strategy, ensuring the approach is backed by a robust delivery plan
Relevant knowledge, experience and personal qualities
- Broad knowledge and experience of delivering finance and investment for social good and the role that debt, equity and grant/philanthropy can play in driving forward powerful societal outcomes – and an appetite to learn
- Demonstrable experience assessing risk and structuring relevant finance mechanisms, with a strong understanding of relevant language, concepts and approaches
- Comfortable and confidence engaging with a diverse range of partners from public, private and voluntary stakeholders to connect and create thriving place-based ecosystems
- Significant experience operating at a senior level working with major businesses to execute powerful new partnerships to create lasting impact - ideally with a focus on or background in a topic related to finance; and experience working at a local and national level to deliver
- A confident ‘Doer’ with a background in executing ambitious policy or programmes in a relevant setting
- Creative thinker with a desire to drive systemic change - understanding the role TRF and partners could play and what systemic change could look like when it to comes to delivering financial solutions to end that end homelessness
