We're investing heavily in how we understand, manage and improve our homes - and we're looking for a talented Stock Condition Lead to help drive that transformation.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing Asset Strategy & Data team at a pivotal point in our journey. As we accelerate our stock condition programme and strengthen the quality of our asset intelligence, you'll play a leading role in shaping the information that underpins our investment decisions, compliance activities, and long-term asset strategy.

Working closely with colleagues across Asset Management, Compliance, Building Safety, Retrofit and Repairs, you'll help ensure we have the insight needed to make better decisions and deliver better outcomes for our residents.

This is more than a survey management role. It's an opportunity to influence strategy, improve data quality, drive continuous improvement and help shape how we manage our homes for years to come.

As Stock Condition Lead, you'll be responsible for delivering a high-quality, customer-focused stock condition programme across our housing and care portfolio. You will be a key member of the team ensuring customers' homes are up to the quality we expect and free of risk while meeting regulatory requirements.

You will provide leadership to our surveying team, contract management delivery of surveys with external partners, establish and maintain technical standards, and ensure the information we collect is accurate, consistent and trusted. You'll champion data quality and work closely with Asset Data colleagues to maximise the value of the intelligence gathered through our surveys.

Alongside programme delivery, you'll act as a subject matter expert, providing technical guidance and support across the wider Asset team and helping translate data into meaningful investment and asset planning decisions.

You will also identify opportunities to improve processes, embrace new technology and strengthen the way we capture and use asset information across the organisation.
