**Job description**:
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a growing presence for the Department for Transport within Northern Ireland.

The Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (SWNI) Division supports DfT (Department for Transport) ministers, officials and agencies to adopt a UK-wide approach to policy making and engagement.

The role holder will be responsible for all aspects of strategic engagement in designated places and sectors in Northern Ireland - managing relationships, gathering insight and organising visits/events.

Policymakers within DfT and across government benefit from our ‘on the ground’ insight, expanding their knowledge base for future planning. By building capability internally and growing our network of partner contacts, we can maximise opportunities to enhance connectivity and deliver improved transport outcomes in every part of the UK.

We are a friendly and collaborative team, with an emphasis on inclusion and diversity. As our work relates to the Union, we have strong links with the territorial offices, Cabinet Office, HM Treasury and Number 10.

**Responsibilities include but are not limited to**:

- Co-leading on the planning and implementation of an evolving programme of strategic engagement in Northern Ireland with measurable outputs and outcomes.
- Gathering data and information, analysing this for key trends, insights and issues, and presenting this to Ministers and officials in an impactful way.
- Representing DfT at local, regional and national events.
- Developing an extensive and useful network across Northern Ireland, including with the Northern Ireland Executive, local authorities, transport representatives and a range of other stakeholders to gather intelligence, influence delivery and promote the aims of DfT and the UK Government.

For further information, please see the attached Role Profile.

**Person specification**:
**About you**:
To be successful in this role, you will:

- Be a self-starter, capable of working independently as well as within a small team.
- Confident and a strong communicator able to represent the Department in meetings with senior partners and stakeholders.
- Able to explain complex issues clearly and concisely, verbally and in writing.
- Able to identify risks, issues and opportunities; the initiative to act on these and the judgement to decide when to escalate.
- Strong problem-solving skills; able to help broker solutions.
- Strong organisational skills; able to not only plan but also reassess workloads and discuss priorities if situations change or you face conflicting demands.
- Have an understanding of the bigger picture and sensitivity to local and national politics.

**Additional Information**:
Your place of work will be the Northern Ireland region. You will be required to travel to sites around this region for meetings with partners and stakeholders as required. When not on site you will work from a DfTc office in Belfast (to be determined). Travel expenses will be paid for official business travel. You may also be permitted to work from home occasionally if you are not required on site.

We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Seeing the Big Picture
- Making Effective Decisions
- Communicating and Influencing
- Delivering at Pace
