PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

•    In our thriving Social and Affordable Housing Group, growth in new and existing transactional work has created several opportunities for talented individuals to manage transactions from instruction to post-completion and support the delivery of excellent client service. 
•     This role is your chance to step into a hands-on, high-impact position where you'll be the central point of contact for all stakeholders (internal teams, clients and third parties) and coordinate and drive significant finance and property transactions seamlessly, collaboratively and proactively.
•     If you're someone who enjoys variety, thrives when organising complexity, are eager to learn, and wants to make a difference via socially orientated finance and property work, this is for you.

THE TEAM

•    Our team has been ranked Tier 1 in the UK by the 2026 edition of Chambers & Partners and holds a 1st Tier national ranking with the Legal 500. 
•     Our clients include UK and international lenders, investors and institutions who (at both an institutional and individual level) are also passionate about using finance to support, fund and drive changes which meet sustainability challenges. 
•     The team works primarily with funders of social projects in the UK and includes work on some of the UK's most innovative and socially purposeful financing transactions covering affordable/social housing, sustainability-linked funding, decarbonisation initiatives and more. 
•     Our team is split between our Leeds, London and Manchester offices, though for this role we are specifically looking for colleagues in Leeds and/or Manchester. 
•     You will join a group that values strong relationships, regular social engagement, and a sense of shared mission, so you will not only be working with great colleagues, but you will also feel part of something meaningful.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS ROLE

The following list, whilst not exhaustive, gives a flavour of what you would be required to do in the role: 
•     Manage day-to-day non-legal aspects of multiple transactions, tracking progress, keeping relevant stakeholder updated and ensuring deliverables are met on time.
•    Coordinate across departments (Finance, Document Production, Risk, fee earners) and external stakeholders to keep matters progressing smoothly.
•    Assist fee earners with standard or ancillary documentation and transaction updates, outlining responsibilities throughout the course of a transaction and managing the delivery of all actions.
•    Act as a trusted ambassador for the firm and the team, communicating confidently and proactively with clients and third parties and providing a high level of client service. 
•    Demonstrate initiative, adaptability and a strong team spirit to maintain momentum and drive excellent outcomes.

YOUR AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE

•    Experience of working in a comparable role (in professional services, financial services or legal services) managing client-facing processes or projects.
•    Strong organisational and project-management skills, with the ability to independently manage multiple moving parts and multiple on-going transactions simultaneously, at times to tight deadlines.
•    Confident and consultative stakeholder manager, with evidenced experience of engaging with internal and external stakeholders of all levels. 
•    Strong attention to detail with the curiosity to identify, understand and drive imaginative solutions with a problem-solving mindset.
•    The ability to prioritise and adapt in a dynamic environment, while being comfortable in managing conflicting requirements, prioritising urgent requests as needed.
•    Competence with IT/document-management tools.
•    A willingness to learn, develop and embrace new responsibilities.
•    An interest in sustainability or social housing would be a bonus!
