You will also be the Departments primary lead for AI and cross-modal autonomous technologies working across government departments and with international partners, developing technology strategies specific for the UKs transport network. Of course, an essential component for transport networks of the future is our use of technology and understanding how we can best embed the very latest advances to improve transport for everyone.

The Emerging Technologies team is a core capability for our Chief Scientific Advisor (CSA) delivering against their vision for R&D across the department, where our deep technical experts seek to understand the latest technological opportunities, using our technical and scientific expertise to work with colleagues across the department to embed the latest research into our critical national infrastructure and long-term policy development.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

- Leading the development and delivery of the Departments technology strategy for AI and cross-modal autonomous technologies
- Leading the development and delivery of the Departments central R&D portfolio for AI and cross-modal autonomous technologies
- Representing the Department in cross Whitehall programmes of work and research activities in AI and cross-modal autonomous technologies, especially as the Departmental link to the Office for Artificial Intelligence
- Being the Departmental deep technical expert and lead for AI and cross-modal autonomous technologies research activities
- Leading the engagement and communication with policy professionals across the department, translating complex S&T for non-S&T audiences
- Leading briefings for CSA, senior officials and Ministers on AI and cross-modal autonomous technologies and related activities to influence thought leadership at the highest levels.

Please refer to the role profile attached for more information.
