At Saxon Weald, we exist to enable positive life chances by providing safe and secure homes. We are a locally focused housing association with a strong social purpose, committed to delivering excellent services for our residents while creating a workplace where our people can thrive.
Established in 2000, Saxon Weald manages close to 7,000 homes across Sussex and Hampshire, providing affordable rented and shared ownership homes for individuals and families, as well as specialist housing for those aged 55 and over. As a charitable Community Benefit Society, every pound we generate is reinvested into the maintenance, improvement and development of our homes and services.
At the heart of our success is a genuine commitment to our communities. We are a truly customer‑focused organisation, with strong local roots and a culture that prioritises resident experience. Our highly regarded Direct Labour Organisation plays a key role in delivering high‑quality, responsive services, helping us stay close to our customers and responsive to their needs.

This Executive role is pivotal to delivering Saxon Weald’s corporate plan, focused on “delivering better together” through stronger leadership, a customer‑first culture, and smarter use of technology and data.
You will lead a high‑impact portfolio spanning people and culture, technology and transformation, driving strategy, modernising digital and data capability and leading enterprise‑wide change, so the organisation can deliver better homes, services and outcomes for its customers. You will combine strategic vision with delivery focus, ensuring Saxon Weald is equipped with the capabilities, systems and culture needed to succeed in a rapidly changing environment.
About You
You are a credible and experienced executive leader with a strong track record of operating at senior level, leading transformation and shaping people strategies in complex, regulated environments. With a deep understanding of digital and data, you combine strategic thinking with the ability to deliver, build trust and influence at all levels.
