Our brand has just launched. We're growing fast and we're hiring the people who'll define how this business operates. THE ROLE This is a build role as much as a management role. We're bringing procurement in-house across a portfolio of 2,000+ homes and we need someone to define how we work with suppliers; the framework, the standards, the contracts and the relationships. We're inheriting a supplier landscape that's grown organically. Some contracts are well-structured; others aren't. Some relationships are strong; others need resetting.

This is the kind of role where what you build in year one still matters in year five. WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR • A solid procurement and contracts background, ideally in residential property, facilities management or a multi-site operational environment, • Experience building or significantly reshaping a supplier framework; you've done this before and you know what good looks like, • A track record of managing supplier performance with commercial rigour; setting expectations, reviewing delivery and making the hard calls, • Comfortable building process whilst managing live supplier relationships simultaneously, • Practical and commercial; you make decisions grounded in operational reality not just contractual theory Our values are simple: stay grounded, use your judgement, own it and play the long game. All within a culture of high challenge and high support. If this sounds like the role you've been looking for, we'd like to hear from you.

But if you want to do your very best work, it just might be. We're building a UK residential platform focused on homes and communities that work for real people, backed by the experience and scale of one of Europe's largest residential operators and shaped here with a clear sense of ownership and long-term responsibility.

This is the kind of breadth and responsibility that most in-house legal roles take years to reach. We're offering it now, in a business that's genuinely invested in the people who help build it. WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR • A qualified paralegal or legal executive with a strong housing and property law background, including solid knowledge of possession procedure and tenancy law, • Working knowledge of the Renters' Rights Act and its practical implications for a large residential operator, • Exposure to employment law and GDPR compliance in a business environment, • Experience working with or instructing external legal counsel, • Someone who thrives in a collaborative, high-standards environment where their judgement is trusted and their breadth valued, • Commercially minded, decisive and calm under pressure Our values are simple: stay grounded, use your judgement, own it and play the long game.
