Closing Date: 13/08/2026 at 23:59

Interviews will take place week commencing: 24/08/2026

 

About the role...

 

As a Senior Manager – Business Planning and Performance, you'll play a key role in providing the performance insight and forecasting that supports strategic decision-making across Homes England. Working at programme and portfolio level, you'll lead the production of high-quality reporting, forecasts and management information that enable senior leaders to monitor performance, manage risk and make informed investment decisions.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys turning complex data into meaningful insight. You'll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to improve data quality, strengthen forecasting, drive continuous improvement and embed a culture of performance and accountability. You'll also lead the development of engaging Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions that help bring data to life and support decision-making at every level.

 

About you...

 

We're looking for an experienced performance reporting and analytics professional with advanced Power BI expertise and a passion for using data to influence business decisions. You'll have a proven track record of designing, developing and maintaining interactive dashboards, reports and data visualisations, using Power BI, DAX and data modelling techniques to transform complex information into clear, actionable insight.

 

You'll be confident working with stakeholders to understand business needs, translating requirements into impactful reporting solutions that improve performance and support strategic objectives. Experience integrating Power BI with SQL-based data sources, alongside a strong understanding of reporting governance, data quality and best practice visualisation principles, is essential.

 

Alongside your technical expertise, you'll be an excellent communicator who can present complex information with clarity, build strong relationships across a range of teams and drive continuous improvement. Experience leading performance reporting functions, supporting senior governance forums and developing robust forecasting processes will help you succeed in this role.

 

Who are we? 

 

Homes England: The Housing and Regeneration Agency

We believe that affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people’s lives. As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, we create thriving new places and transform urban areas, combining the full breadth of our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and get more homes built.

How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations. We use our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed for the people that live there now, and in the future. And we use our funding and support to build a more resilient, diverse and innovative housing sector, helping new entrants in the market, encouraging modern methods of construction and design, and promoting the utmost attention to building safety.

Together with our partners, we’re accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country, as we seek to deliver ever more affordable homes in places people are proud to call home for generations to come.

 

What we offer... 

 

As well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are committed to 50/50 hybrid working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what matters to you. 

Membership of the Homes and Communities Agency Pension Scheme, which is a contributory defined benefit scheme with the amount you receive on retirement based on your salary and years worked at the Agency.

Internal applicants: please note that if you are successful, the salary you are offered will be in accordance with our pay policy. You can find details on the HR Hub SharePoint site.

If you ever need a bit of extra help, we have a great employee assistance programme, a wide range of healthcare plans, financial wellbeing support and access to many great discounts with leading high street names. 

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future.

Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We work to a 50/50 office/ home based model. Moving back into our office environments has enabled us to utilise our space and time together in the most collaborative way. 

We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. 

We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme.
