At Bournville Village Trust, we've never just built homes, we've built communities. Founded by George Cadbury, our purpose has always been rooted in creating places where people and nature can thrive. Today, that mission is more relevant than ever. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also focused on the future. This is a critical and exciting leadership role at the heart of that future. Shaping the places and possibilities of tomorrow. As our next Director of Asset Investment & Growth, you will play a pivotal role in how we manage, invest in and grow our diverse portfolio of housing, commercial, community and agricultural assets. You will bring strategic focus and creative thinking to some of the most complex and rewarding questions we face: How do we get the most value from our land and buildings: for people, for place, and for purpose? And how can development, regeneration and innovation support our social aims? You will lead a broad portfolio that includes: Housing asset management and capital investment programmes Commercial and agricultural estates Strategic growth and regeneration Land use, development, and master planning Financial partnerships and creative delivery models You will report to the Chief Executive and be a key member of our Executive Team, working closely with Trustees and stakeholders across the region. This isn't a typical housing leadership role. We are looking for someone who can work fluently across housing, real estate, and regeneration. Someone who is as comfortable with a 30-year asset investment plan as they are brokering a development partnership or advising on agricultural land use. You will understand what it takes to unlock social and financial value from complex portfolios, and you will bring the confidence and clarity to lead your team and your organisation through change and opportunity. This is a role for someone who is: Experienced in housing and real estate and able to work confidently across asset types, sectors and scales. Entrepreneurial and creative - not reliant on internal capital to achieve impact. Mission-aligned - deeply attuned to stewardship, legacy, and social value. Operationally credible and strategically sharp - able to manage risk, lead delivery, and influence change at every level. Why now? We are at a key point in our journey. Our homes, neighbourhoods and estates matter deeply to the people who live and work in them, and to us. But to remain resilient and relevant, we must adapt and modernise. This role is a central part of that transformation. If you care about legacy, sustainability, and purpose, and you are excited by complexity, opportunity, and the chance to lead lasting change, we would love to hear from you.
