Job description

Help shape the future of homes and communities in Wales

If you're driven by purpose, long‑term impact and the chance to leave things better than you found them, this role will speak to you.

You'll join a newly formed housing organisation with big ambitions - one that's investing in its people, its places, and the wellbeing of the communities it serves.

This is your opportunity to lead an asset strategy function that genuinely shapes how thousands of residents live, feel and thrive.

About the role

As Head of Asset Strategy, you'll set the direction for a modern, insight‑led approach to asset management. You'll lead a talented team responsible for stock condition data, energy surveys, EPC programmes and the development of a new long‑term Asset Management Strategy.

Working closely with colleagues across Property & Place, you'll use robust data to guide investment decisions, shape decarbonisation pathways, identify regeneration opportunities and ensure homes remain safe, warm and affordable for future generations.

You'll also play a key role in aligning the organisation with Welsh Government priorities, the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and wider sustainability goals - all while ensuring compliance, strong governance and excellent customer outcomes.

About you

You'll thrive here if you:

• Bring senior‑level experience leading asset strategy within a housing association, local authority or charity.
• Are confident shaping long‑term strategy, managing complex data and influencing decisions at executive level.
• Have a collaborative, people‑centred leadership style that empowers teams and champions wellbeing.
• Hold a relevant professional qualification (e.g. RICS, CIOB, CIH) or equivalent experience.
• Care deeply about sustainability, decarbonisation and delivering homes that meet the needs of future generations.

What's on offer

• Salary: £75,316
• Agile and flexible working, with regular time spent on site
• Generous pension and annual leave package
• Wellbeing support, recognition schemes and ongoing professional development
• The chance to shape a brand‑new organisation with fresh ambition and real social purpose
