Regional Acquisitions Manager

Job description

Regional Acquisition Manager

Not-for-Profit | Nationwide | Field-Based / WFH
Our client is a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation funded by major high street banks. Their purpose is clear: to ensure communities across the UK have access to cash and essential banking services. Through shared banking hubs, deposit solutions, and a growing pipeline of innovative services, they’re shaping the future of community banking — sustainably, responsibly, and at scale.
 
With a team of 40 and an ambitious national rollout plan, this is a pivotal hire. If you’re motivated by purpose, impact, and delivering value to local communities, this could be the ideal next step. Experience in DDA Compliance will offer a distinct competitive edge.

The Opportunity
As Regional Acquisition Manager, you will play a central role in delivering the annual national hub acquisition programme — identifying, negotiating, and securing sites across the UK. With c.85 hubs and 145 sites already in operation, the organisation is now scaling rapidly, targeting 70–100 new sites per year.
This role is field-based with flexibility to work from home, alongside regular collaboration with colleagues and partners nationwide.
 
Key Responsibilities

• Lead site acquisition delivery as part of the national programme, meeting individual targets within the 70–100 hubs pa rollout.
• Manage external property agents and legal consultants, ensuring aligned, timely programme delivery.
• Oversee lease event management, ensuring hubs operate in full compliance with lease terms.
• Conduct annual reviews and benchmarking of property suppliers in partnership with Procurement — maintaining a best-in-class consultant panel.
• Identify and escalate cold spots or long-term delivery challenges, working with internal teams on interim service solutions.
• Track, analyse, and report KPIs, forecasts, time/cost/quality performance, and weekly/periodic updates.
• Ensure robust governance, including stage approval processes and DOA requirements for acquisitions and lease sign-off.
• Manage weekly and periodic consultant performance and programmes.
• Support the Senior Programme Manager in pipeline tracking and national rollout delivery.
• Manage financial performance against budget, ensuring all authorisations and controls are followed.

What We’re Looking For

• RICS Chartered Surveyor (or equivalent experience) with a strong background in retail acquisitions or property portfolio management.
• A proven deal-maker who enjoys negotiating, influencing, and delivering outcomes at pace.
• Strong programme management skills with the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders and moving parts.
• Someone who thrives in a purpose-driven, high-growth, people-focused culture.
• Experience with DDA compliance is highly advantageous.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, values-led team at a pivotal moment — helping transform how banking services reach communities nationwide.
