**Job Title**: Head of Energy and Transport

**Pay Grade**: Grade 7

**Salary**: £54,358 - £61,585 (National) - £58,847 - £66,670 (London)

**About the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales (OSSW)**:
The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is the face of the UK Government in Wales and the voice of Wales in Westminster. We support the Secretary of State (SoS) for Wales and the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales (PUSS) in representing Wales at the heart of Government. The department plays a central role in shaping key Government priorities. We work in partnership with other UK Government departments and stakeholders to deliver a stronger Wales within a strong United Kingdom.

Our departmental values are Commitment, Collaboration, and Quality. These shape how we operate in a challenging, demanding, and fast paced environment which requires flexibility, transparency, and professionalism.

The Wales Office has two sites, one in Cardiff and one in Whitehall. The expectation is that the postholder will travel extensively around Wales engaging and working with stakeholders.

**About the team**

The role sits within the Policy Team in OSSW, which currently consists of approximately 15 people. The Policy Team operates across a wide range of reserved and devolved policy areas, working to identify opportunities to benefit Wales within emerging UK Government policy, and acting to identify and resolve issues that affect Wales. The day-to-day work of the team involves engagement with senior stakeholders inside and outside of Government as well as advising ministers, officials, and regional partners responsible for City and Growth deals, on a broad range of topics.

**Description**

The postholder will have experience of building and managing senior stakeholder relationships both inside and outside of government.

The exposure to Ministers and senior stakeholders is second to none and the post would suit someone who is a self-starter, a confident communicator, adept at building effective relationships and able to develop strategies to deliver tangible outcomes. The Head of Energy and Transport will provide expert advice and intelligence to support Ministers and the Department in delivering the objectives of the Secretary of State.

**Key Responsibilities**

This is a high-profile, exciting, and fast-paced role which will require engagement with a wide-range of stakeholders including with ministers.

The role will involve:

- Building trusted relationships with external stakeholders in order to understand challenges and opportunities in Wales.
- Gathering evidence and intelligence and using it to inform the development of strategies and plans to deliver OSSW priorities.
- Forging partnerships with stakeholders to help shape and deliver priorities and representing stakeholder views convincingly with ministers and Whitehall colleagues.
- Widening stakeholder engagement to enhance the team’s knowledge of key policy areas and of developments on the ground in Wales.
- Providing expert advice to Ministers and regional partners responsible for the City and Growth Deals and local growth funds in Wales to ensure decisions are in line with Government policy and funding is directed to the projects most likely to bring jobs, growth, and prosperity to Wales.
- The energy portfolio is a multi-faceted make up ranging from nuclear to marine to solar and others. Therefore, you will need to show experience of working in an environment where a multi-tasking approach and the need for prioritisation has been required.
- Identifying opportunities to influence policy and using political antenna to detect emerging opportunities and challenges to policy making for Wales.

The job description is not intended to be exhaustive, and it is likely that duties may be altered from time to time in the light of changing circumstances and after consultation with the postholder.
