**If so, we'd love to hear from you**

**Job description**:
This is an exciting time to join a multi-disciplinary team in Motoring and Freight Insights (MFI) division which is part of the Motoring and Freight Directorate. Recent well publicised debates such as HGV driver shortage, electric vehicle take up, decarbonisation of road freight, costs of living, have brought road freight economic policy areas into sharp focus, and these areas are key priority for our directorate.

You will line-manage one operational researcher, and frequently task manage others. You will be passionate about supporting and developing junior analysts in their development and careers, and creating a supportive team setting which all can thrive in.

**_ Responsibilities_**
- Provide leadership for a portfolio of economic analysis for Motoring and Freight strategy, mode-shift assessments as part of decarbonising the freight sector and achieve reductions in external costs of freight, including appraisal and cost-benefit analysis to inform Impact Assessments (IAs), De Minimis Assessments (DMAs) and business cases, as well as strategic analysis to shape policy thinking.
- Support and lead your team to effectively scope out policy requirements, provide support and judgement to ensure proportionate and targeted advice is given, and lead and inform prioritisation decisions to ensure your portfolio has maximum impact.
- Promote and champion the use of evidence and analysis in policy, as a visible analytical leader. Support effective decisions through your advice, even where the evidence is uncertain. Communicate with impact to senior policy colleagues and senior analysts, using the best available evidence and analysis. Forward plan to identify future evidence needs.
- Develop, manage and lead your team, creating a supportive environment in which all can thrive.
- Collaborate with other analytical professions to deliver the best possible evidence and advice.
- Maintain and develop leading approaches for analysing the impact of regulatory decisions, using transport analysis guidance (TAG) and the Green Book appraisal guidance.
- Support the wider team in providing quality assurance to ensure economic analysis remains fit for purpose.
