This will include the development of new contractual arrangements with operators, the management of crisis situations, the introduction of new timetables and the in-life management of the operational aspects of train franchises.

- Overseeing engagement on performance and train service policy and leading the team's engagement with the communications and press offices, seeking to capitalise on opportunities to promote a unified performance narrative.
- Maintaining the policy bank, a repository of documents that explain how performance and train service policy is set.
- Providing central support such as monitoring the work streams in which the Division is involved, coordinating learning activities or leading divisional recruitment campaigns when required.

About you:
You will have excellent interpersonal skills to confidently build trusted relationships with specialist advisors and senior leaders across the Department and industry.
You will have excellent communication and drafting skills to produce high-quality, succinct documents and Ministerial briefings, and participate in meetings when required.
