This specialised team goes to great lengths to deliver on their primary objective of seeing the value that others don't.
"In city centres and throughout urban areas, we see thriving property markets and ample opportunity to provide commercial property finance for development and investment. In run-down buildings, we see the potential for families to live in a safe and secure environments. In people, we see the entrepreneurial capability to create well-run businesses, providing employment and multiplying our economy."
TUHF is looking for an individual who believes in this purpose, to simultaneously make commercial returns for shareholders and to make a difference. They must be able to capitalise on the company's existing market niche position to increase both investment and operations. Engaging with capital markets to secure funding, legal & financial governance, strategy formulation & implementation, systems & infrastructure, risk management, marketing and human resources are all ultimately under the supervision and oversight of the CEO. This means an industry expert is needed who is able to pull all of these facets of the business together in an ever-changing landscape where the dynamics of urban environments, technological advancements, industry trends and new legislation provide the platform to enhance both services and investment offerings.
TUHF's new CEO should not be afraid to question the norms and find solutions, and will need to be able to manage at an executive level whilst remaining in touch with the heartbeat of our Nation's cities. Whilst a university qualification and professional registration / MBA is required, experience in capital raising and development finance over a minimum of 10 years is no less important.
