We’re looking for a highly capable and driven Head of Programme Delivery to lead the strategic oversight, governance and performance of Peabody’s major planned works programmes. This includes more than £400m of Fire Remediation and £300m of planned asset investment, alongside multiple grantfunded programmes such as the Cladding Safety Scheme and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund.

As a senior leader within our Investment Directorate, you will act as the central coordination point for all programmes of work, ensuring alignment with organisational strategy, longterm financial planning, sustainability commitments, and regulatory compliance.

This is a pivotal opportunity to shape and strengthen Peabody’s strategic investment delivery capability — ensuring our homes remain safe, sustainable, and fit for the future.

What You’ll Lead

• Strategic oversight and performance management of all planned works programmes, including £400m+ of fire remediation and £300m+ of asset investment.

• Governance, compliance and budget assurance for all delivery programmes, including the protection and management of external grant funding streams.

• Development of highquality visual reporting tools (e.g. Power BI dashboards) to provide realtime progress, risk and KPI visibility to senior stakeholders.

• Coordination of planned works with wider organisational workstreams (e.g. sustainability programmes, capital works, mechanical & electrical programmes).

• Oversight of grant funding processes — including bid submissions, grant claims, compliance audits and assurance activities.

• Leading the creation and management of programme and project boards, including terms of reference and membership.

• Crossdepartmental collaboration to ensure investment planning aligns with asset data, local priorities, and longterm maintenance strategies.

• Line management, leadership and development of the Programme Delivery Team, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation and continuous improvement.

• Identification and implementation of efficiencies across the Investment Directorate to support organisational performance and resilience.

What You’ll Need

• Experience leading and delivering largescale, multifaceted technical or refurbishment programmes across a substantial property portfolio.

• Strong ability to integrate technical priorities with strategic investment proposals and longterm asset planning.

• Proven experience building programme delivery teams and driving continuous improvement.

• Demonstrable experience in grant management including bid writing, compliance, claims processes and audit.

• Ability to design, develop and embed programme reporting mechanisms (e.g. Power BI) to provide clear insights and drive action.

• Strong working knowledge of regulated housing environments, including GLA / Homes England expectations.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills — able to coordinate across internal operational teams, senior leaders, technical specialists and contractors.

• Clear understanding of risk identification and mitigation within complex investment programmes.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including presenting complex data to senior audiences.

• A commitment to equality, diversity and inclusive leadership.
