As a Community Investment Manager, you’ll work closely with key stakeholders, including people living in our communities, to ensure our programmes are responsive, resident-led, and aligned with local priorities. You’ll lead and motivate a team of five, supporting them to deliver high-quality work alongside other colleagues and collaborators. This will span projects as diverse as Open Havelock in Southall, the deepening of our work in Church Road in Brent and working with communities living in and around our heritage estates and our newer developments, including Friary Park in Acton and Portobello Square in North Kensington.

You’ll also play a key role in building strategic public, private and third sector partnerships, securing funding, and ensuring Peabody’s community investment work is impactful, data-driven, and financially sustainable.

You’ll be expected to travel extensively to oversee projects, meet with people in our communities, and collaborate with partners. You’ll be in a wider team of other regional Community Investment Managers, working in North East London, South London, Thamesmead and the home counties – all working collectively to drive impact.

  • Building strong relationships with residents to ensure projects are co-designed and community-led

  • Overseeing a £700k budget, ensuring effective financial management and investment in high-impact projects
