Chief Executive Officer

We're changing the way the country builds new communities.

The Regional Building Foundation (RBF) is seeking a Chief Executive with the vision, conviction and sector expertise to lead a new national movement in place building — from the ground up.

Our Vision

Creating a new generation of regionally distinctive places that foster healthy, vibrant and resilient communities.

Our Mission

To accelerate ‘Place Building’ by coordinating regional housebuilders, landowners, materials suppliers and funders with a scalable building system.

This is a rare, founding opportunity to shape a national movement and redesign how places are built across the UK. You'll bring a wealth of experience from across the built environment, a genuine passion for development and the communities it creates, and the boldness to back a bigger vision. In some ways it's a leap of faith, and an extraordinary chance to build something that lasts.

You'll be backed by a distinguished and highly experienced Board of Directors, who dedicate their time to the Foundation pro bono. Meet them here: https://regionalbuilding.org/board-of-directors/
