Job description

Step into a rewarding permanent opportunity with a leading social housing provider, offering a salary of up to £75,000, predominantly remote working, excellent benefits and the opportunity to take ownership of a key treasury function.

This is a senior, hands-on Treasury Manager role requiring someone with strong treasury expertise and, importantly, direct social housing experience and proven business planning experience.

The successful Treasury Manager must already understand how social housing operates and how factors such as development activity, shared ownership, sales receipts and future development pipelines feed into cash flow, liquidity and long-term business planning.

Please note: candidates must have both direct social housing experience and previous business planning experience. Candidates who do not meet both of these essential requirements will not be considered.

This is not a role for someone looking to step up into treasury, transition into social housing for the first time, or develop their business planning experience. You will need to be confident working independently and able to take ownership of the treasury function from day one.

In this role, you will:

• Take ownership of the day-to-day treasury function, including daily cash management and weekly liquidity monitoring.
• Build, maintain and manage short-, medium- and long-term cash-flow forecasts.
• Work closely with Finance and Development teams to understand how current and future development activity impacts cash flow.
• Incorporate committed and uncommitted development pipelines into cash-flow and liquidity forecasting.
• Model the timing of development expenditure, property sales and other housing-related income.
• Monitor liquidity and identify when additional funding or lender drawdowns may be required.
• Manage and monitor debt facilities, loan repayments, interest and covenant compliance.
• Support long-term business planning, scenario modelling and stress testing.
• Maintain treasury records, reconciliations, bank mandates and authorised signatory controls.
• Support security charging and asset-related funding requirements.
• Build strong relationships with lenders, advisers and senior internal stakeholders.
• Produce clear and accurate treasury, liquidity and funding reports for senior management and relevant Committees.

I’d love to speak to anyone who has:

• Essential: Direct experience working within social housing, a Housing Association or Registered Provider.
• Essential: Previous experience contributing to or managing business planning within a social housing environment.
• Proven experience within a Treasury Accountant, Treasury Manager, Treasury Analyst or similar treasury-focused role.
• Experience of building and managing cash-flow forecasts from the ground up.
• Strong experience of daily and weekly liquidity management.
• A clear understanding of how social housing development pipelines and development expenditure impact cash flow and future funding requirements.
• Knowledge of key social housing financial drivers, including shared ownership, staircasing, Right to Buy, Right to Acquire and sales timing.
• Experience forecasting both committed and uncommitted development expenditure.
• Experience with debt facilities, loan drawdowns, interest, covenant compliance and funding requirements.
• Experience contributing to business planning, scenario modelling and stress testing.
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of a treasury function with minimal supervision.
• Strong Excel, financial modelling and forecasting skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

This role is offering:

• Permanent, full-time position
• 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday
• Salary up to £75,000, depending on experience
• Predominantly remote working
• Attendance at the Peterborough office approximately one to two times per month
• Excellent benefits package
• The opportunity to take ownership of a key treasury function
• A supportive and collaborative working environment

Location:

This role is predominantly remote, with attendance at the Peterborough office required approximately one to two times per month for team meetings and collaboration.

Please note – essential requirements

Direct social housing experience and business planning experience are both essential for this position. Candidates must have experience of working within social housing and must also have previous experience with business planning. Candidates who do not meet both requirements will not be considered.

Due to the specialist nature of the position, the successful Treasury Manager must already have an understanding of social housing terminology, development activity and how housing-sector financial drivers impact cash flow, liquidity and long-term business planning.
