We're looking for a proactive and organised Stock Acquisition Officer to join our Repairs Partnering team on a fixed-term basis as we continue to grow our housing portfolio. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in bringing new homes into Moat and ensuring they're ready for customers from day one.

In this varied role, you'll:

• Review and assess property information held within acquisition data rooms.
• Analyse repairs, maintenance, compliance and asset data.
• Identify defects, risks and outstanding actions, ensuring issues are tracked through to resolution.
• Coordinate due diligence activities and monitor progress against acquisition milestones.

• Support the setup of new properties within housing, repairs and asset management systems.
• Maintain accurate records, trackers and action logs throughout the acquisition process.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience within housing, asset management, repairs, property services, development or a similar environment.
• Strong analytical skills and experience reviewing property-related information.
• Excellent organisational and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience using Microsoft Excel and data management systems.
