We're looking for a proactive, innovative and people orientated Governance Manager to join our busy team. 

 

You'll join us at an exciting time as we continue to streamline the governance arrangements as we move forward with our formal partnership with Octavia Housing, bringing them int the Abri Group which will bring new opportunities to create an even stronger organisation.

 

You'll have experience of working in a regulated environment, a strong understanding of governance and best practice with a sound knowledge of relevant legislation. You'll need to have a good understanding of the uniqueness of the housing sector and how we are governed and regulated are beneficial. Being CGI or legally qualified is preferable, although we’ll consider experience in place of qualifications.

 

We're looking for an individual who understands the importance of governance being the perfect mixture of both people and process as you'll also be collaborating alongside the stakeholders across the business to ensure continued high standards of governance are delivered. 

 

You'll be highly literate and have the emotional intelligence to read a room and converse appropriately with key stakeholders. It's essential you are used to working in a confidential environment and respect commercial sensitivities.

 

Experience of managing a team is essential as you'll be responsible for managing members of the Governance team; the team is dynamic, enthusiastic and works at a fast pace with ambitions to be a sector-leading Governance team.

 

You can be based out of our Eastleigh (SO50 6AD), Bracknell (RG12 1RF), Yeovil (BA22 8WN) or London (W10 5BN) offices where you'll work three days a week and the rest of the week can be spent working out of a location of your choosing whether it's in another of our sites, a coffee shop or at home.

 

This is an excellent opportunity for someone that views governance as more than tick box, someone who wants to get under the skin of the organisation to ensure that good governance guides and strengthens all we do.

 

If you have the experience, skills and attitude, we'd love to hear from you.
