Job description

Coin Street was created through determination, collective action and a belief that neighbourhoods thrive when communities have real ownership and voice. For more than forty years, we have demonstrated what is possible when social purpose, entrepreneurship and long‑term stewardship are brought together. From affordable co‑operative homes and public spaces to cultural, commercial and community activity, Coin Street is both nationally recognised and deeply local.

Today, Coin Street sits at the heart of one of the most vibrant and visited parts of London, yet our purpose remains rooted in serving those who live, work and spend time here. We exist to ensure this neighbourhood continues to be inclusive, welcoming and resilient, and that the value created by the land and buildings we steward is reinvested for public and community benefit.

We are now seeking an outstanding Chief Executive to lead Coin Street into its next phase. This is a rare opportunity to head a purpose‑driven organisation with a significant asset base, strong public profile, and deep roots in its community.

As Chief Executive, you will provide strategic and commercial leadership to Coin Street, balancing financial performance with a clear social mission. Reporting to the Board, you will lead a multidisciplinary senior team and oversee a significant property and asset portfolio, driving sustainable income, long‑term value and sound investment and risk management.

You will be a visible ambassador for the organisation and community, building trusted relationships across the South Bank and beyond, while leading organisational development to ensure Coin Street remains resilient, well‑governed and fit for the future. A commitment to community engagement and partnership working is essential, ensuring Coin Street’s community programmes continue to thrive and deliver meaningful impact.
