Job Introduction
It's an exciting time to join Yorkshire Housing. As we continue to improve the services we provide to our customers, we're investing in the systems, data and processes that help us manage our homes effectively. As our Asset Transformation Lead, you'll be at the heart of this journey, working with colleagues across Assets, Sustainability and Building Safety to deliver lasting change. Using your expertise in asset management and transformation, you'll help ensure new ways of working are embedded successfully and that we continue to deliver safe, compliant and customer-focused services.
We believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go so if you want to work for a company who are truly flexible and where you are valued then this could be the role for you!
What we’re all about
You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider. We own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and our mission is to make it possible for current and future customers to have a place they’re proud to call home. We’re all about the customer, and our service doesn’t stop once the keys are in the door.
We’ve got big plans to overhaul the traditional customer service offer, build new homes that are truly future-proof and empower our people through flexibility and freedom to do their best work.
Our investment in technology is a key pillar of our strategy and our change team are working on exciting, complex and ambitious programmes to deliver a pre-emptive customer experience – who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?

What will you be doing?
As our Asset Transformation Lead, you'll help shape how we manage our homes and services for the future. Working with colleagues across Assets, Sustainability and Building Safety, you'll use your expertise to support the delivery of a new asset management solution, helping us make the most of our data, improve the way we work and deliver better outcomes for customers. You'll play a key role in guiding colleagues through change, ensuring new systems and processes are embedded successfully and that the benefits of the transformation are realised across the business.
Some of the key areas you’ll focus on include:
- Acting as the asset management subject matter expert within our transformation programme.
- Supporting the delivery of a new asset management solution and associated ways of working.
- Leading data readiness activities to help ensure high-quality asset information.
- Working with colleagues across the business to prepare for, adopt and embed change.
- Supporting communications, training and business readiness activity.
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, systems and customer outcomes.
- Building strong relationships with stakeholders and acting as a key link between operational teams and project colleagues.
This is an agile homeworking role, offering flexibility while keeping you connected with colleagues across the organisation. You'll come together with your team and key stakeholders for collaboration, meetings and shared projects whenever the need arises, so some travel to our Leeds workspace and occasionally to other sites across Yorkshire will be required.
