National Housing Federation
Executive Director of Finance & Corporate Services
The National Housing Federation (NHF) is the voice of England’s housing associations. Our housing association members provide homes for around six million people and are driven by a social purpose: providing good quality housing that people can afford.
With a general election on the horizon, it is more important than ever that we stand with our members to campaign for social housing and a better, fairer and more affordable future for millions of people.
We are now looking for someone to join us in the vital and broad role of Executive Director of Finance & Corporate Services. This is an opportunity to join the NHF’s Leadership Team playing a key part in leading the organisation through this crucial period of time.
Our three-year business strategy sets out our ambition to be the best trade body we can be. The Executive Director of Finance and Corporate Services will work directly with the board, Chief Executive and senior colleagues on the corporate leadership and development of the NHF, and the achievement of our strategic plans. You will oversee a broad directorate – encompassing finance, risk and governance, ICT, people, estates and facilities – that is instrumental in achieving this.
You will be a strategic and engaging leader as well as an experienced finance director, with a clear ability to nurture a customer-focused culture across the NHF and be a champion of diversity. You will be effective at building relationships with Boards and senior colleagues and have a transparent and accountable style. Commercially astute, collegiate and driven to succeed, you will ensure the continued financial stability of the NHF at a crucial and exciting time for our organisation and for the social housing sector.
We encourage and welcome applications from people with the widest possible range of backgrounds, personal or professional.
