HSPG is a social impact real estate company.

Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.

There is a critical shortage of affordable housing across the UK. We partner with Local Authorities, housebuilders and institutional investors to acquire, deliver and manage high-quality homes that meet local demand while creating long-term social value across multiple tenures.

At the centre of our Living Sector is PPHA, the Group's Registered Provider, which delivers Section 106 and grant-funded Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership homes. By working collaboratively with our partners, we are increasing the supply of quality affordable housing where it is needed most.

PPHA's north star is to create homes for more than 8,000 families and individuals by 2030, helping to address the housing crisis while delivering sustainable, long-term returns for our investment partners.

Core Behaviours:

Core mission:

Support PPHA’s investment, financing, and asset management activities as the business scales towards delivering safe and secure affordable housing for 8,000 families by 2030. The role will help execute the investment strategy, manage debt relationships and facilities, supporting capital partner relationships and owning institutional-quality reporting. The candidate will be responsible for the financial analysis underpinning investment, funding and asset management decisions, ensuring the Senior Leadership Team, the PPHA Board and capital partners have clear and reliable information on portfolio performance, capital deployment and expected returns.

  • Working with the Commercial Finance Manager to monitor covenant compliance, manage lender information requirements and support the effective use of the existing debt facility.
  • Acting as a principal day-to-day contact for PPHA’s capital partners on financial analysis, portfolio performance and reporting matters, working closely with senior leadership on wider relationship management.

  • Supporting refinancing, capital raising and other strategic financing initiatives.

  • Strong financial modelling and underwriting capability, with experience taking ownership of complex investment analysis.
  • Experience supporting or executing real estate transactions and presenting analysis to senior decision-makers. Experience with UK residential real estate. Exposure to UK affordable housing would be advantageous but not essential.
