The role

As Executive Director – Technical, Capacity and Co-ordination, you will lead a national hub of technical and delivery expertise, providing cross-cutting services, frameworks and capacity to support Homes England’s regional and thematic priorities.

Reporting to the Chief Regional Delivery Officer, you will oversee a multi-disciplinary team of 70–90 professionals, with deep expertise spanning the development lifecycle — from planning and enabling through to contracting, asset management and exit strategies. You will:

• Lead the development and operation of national frameworks, delivery panels and toolkits (including ATLAS) to support local delivery.
• Provide portfolio-level oversight of cross-cutting programmes, including New Towns, Strategic Place Partnerships and regeneration initiatives.

• Align technical and capacity support to regional teams on a “hub and spoke” basis, ensuring resources are deployed flexibly and effectively to meet the needs of places.

This is a unique opportunity to shape how Homes England supports delivery across England, combining specialist expertise with strategic leadership to enable the scale and pace of growth that government and local partners require.
