General Counsel & Director of Governance – Heylo Housing

Launched in 2014, heylo’s long-dated horizon funding model has created one of the largest home ownership programmes in the UK. With over 10,000 Shared Ownership properties and offering a number of different routes to make home ownership possible, we operate across 250 Local authorities allowing us to offer housing opportunities across the breadth of England.

Our mission is to provide the highest standards of service for our continually growing pool of new house buyers and we are ambitious with objectives to make housing across the UK more affordable and accessible for aspiring homeowners.

We seek a new General Counsel & Director of Governance to join our executive team and lead on legal and regulatory compliance across our business. A qualified lawyer, you will being a strong track record of post-qualification experience including relevant senior experience in governance. While we operate in the social housing sector and we expect that your experience will have been gained in that space, we are also open to candidates from other regulated sectors, in particular banking and financial services, who can demonstrate an ability to transfer their expertise to our business.

We are a small but fast moving and dynamic team leading a rapidly growing organisation. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and an eagerness to contribute at the highest level to an organisation delivering on an ambitious social mission, then we’d love to hear from you.
