CEO – HousingAI
Location: Remote (UK-based)
Type: Full-Time | Founding Leadership Role
At HousingAI, we’re building something transformative: a sector-specific AI assistant designed to support the UK’s social housing sector with regulation-ready tools, intelligent automation, and best-practice workflows.
Following the successful launch of our MVP with Clarion Housing – the UK’s largest housing association – we’re now entering a critical growth phase. Backed by the Healthy Homes Hub, we’re onboarding providers for demonstrations and pilots, and moving toward full-scale AWS deployment by December 2025.
We're now seeking a CEO to lead this next chapter – a commercially astute, relationship-driven leader who can turn vision into value.
The Role
This is not a figurehead position. You’ll be hands-on in the most exciting way – shaping the business, driving sales, forging partnerships, and building a high-impact team. You’ll work alongside the Founder and CTO to ensure HousingAI not only scales but sets the standard for how housing providers harness technology.
You’ll have the gravitas to engage senior decision-makers across the social housing landscape, the commercial acumen to manage our growth strategy and P&L, and the leadership ability to inspire confidence – both internally and across the sector.
What You’ll Do
• Lead the company’s commercial and operational growth strategy
• Own and manage the P&L with a focus on sustainable scale
• Build and nurture relationships with housing associations, sector bodies, and partners
• Represent HousingAI in pitches, media, industry events, and government forums
• Drive adoption of our platform by aligning product with sector priorities
• Foster a collaborative remote culture that is ambitious, agile, and mission-led
• Work in partnership with the technical team to ensure product-market fit remains strong as we scale
What You’ll Bring
• Proven leadership experience, ideally in a high-growth SaaS or GovTech environment
• Strong network or understanding of the UK social housing sector
• Commercially sharp with experience managing your own P&L
• Exceptional relationship builder – credible, personable, and trusted by stakeholders
• Ambitious, thoughtful, and execution-focused
• Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term vision
• Comfortable working remotely as part of a lean, close-knit founding team
From the Founder
“We’re building a culture where talented people define what success looks like – and have the freedom to shape how we get there. If you’re excited by the challenge of building something meaningful from the ground up, this is your stage.”
