Interim Director of Housing Property & Investment

Bristol (Hybrid - 2 days per week on site)

12-Month Interim Contract

£850- 1,350 per day (Umbrella)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an exceptional senior leader to join a major local authority as Interim Director of Housing Property & Investment. This is a high-profile leadership role responsible for shaping and delivering the council's housing property, asset management and capital investment strategy, ensuring residents live in safe, compliant, high-quality and energy-efficient homes.

Reporting to the Executive Director of Housing, you will provide strategic leadership across a significant portfolio including repairs and maintenance, planned investment, building safety, compliance, mechanical and electrical services, housing delivery and asset management. You will lead the delivery of a substantial Housing Revenue Account (HRA) capital programme while driving service transformation, regulatory compliance and resident satisfaction.

This is a critical appointment requiring an experienced executive capable of operating in a complex political and regulatory environment, leading multidisciplinary teams and working collaboratively with elected members, partners, contractors and senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide strategic leadership for housing property, asset management and investment services.
  • Lead the delivery of large-scale capital investment programmes aligned to the HRA Business Plan.
  • Ensure full compliance with all statutory housing, building safety and landlord responsibilities.
  • Oversee repairs, planned maintenance, compliance, mechanical and electrical services, and building safety programmes.
  • Drive asset optimisation using data-led decision making and whole-life asset management principles.
  • Lead service improvement, modernisation and digital transformation across housing property services.
  • Ensure excellent financial stewardship of significant revenue and capital budgets.
  • Build strong partnerships with developers, contractors, regulators and key stakeholders.
  • Champion resident engagement, ensuring customer feedback informs service delivery and continuous improvement.
  • Develop and inspire high-performing teams while embedding a culture of accountability, innovation and collaboration.

About You

We are seeking an accomplished senior housing professional with:

  • Significant experience operating at Director or senior executive level within housing property, asset management, investment or development.
  • Extensive knowledge of housing, construction, building safety, compliance and health & safety legislation.
  • Proven experience leading landlord compliance programmes, capital investment and building safety within occupied housing stock.
  • Strong financial leadership, including HRA capital planning, business cases and budget management.
  • A track record of delivering complex transformation programmes and major capital projects.
  • Exceptional leadership skills with experience building and leading high-performing multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong commercial awareness with experience managing contractors, strategic partnerships and client-side delivery.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to engage elected members, executive leadership, residents and regulators.
  • A data-driven approach to performance, asset management and strategic decision making.
  • Degree-level qualification (or equivalent experience) together with relevant professional qualifications or evidence of continued professional development.

This is an outstanding opportunity to lead one of the most significant housing portfolios in local government, delivering lasting improvements in housing quality, building safety and resident outcomes while shaping the future of housing services for a major city.
