The MYNE Portfolio of studies are being managed within the Rail Infrastructure North, Midlands and Integrated Rail Plan (RIMiNI) Directorate, across different Deputy Director-led divisions. You will be responsible for acting as the guiding mind across the Portfolio, ensuring appropriate management and integration across the studies, and directly managing three teams leading individual studies.

A vital aspect of your role will be collaborating with a range of colleagues across the Department for Transport’s different modal teams, as well as No.10, HM Treasury and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), sponsoring and interfacing with Network Rail, High Speed 2 Ltd (HS2 Ltd), Transport for the North, Midlands Connect and major local authorities. You will have the opportunity to work across some of the government’s most high-profile projects, looking to maximise connectivity benefits, assess and negotiate funding requirements, and develop business cases for future government investments.

- Developing effective working relationships with key stakeholders, including across Whitehall and with No.10/ HMT, Network Rail, HS2 Ltd, the Devolved Administrations and with local and regional authorities.
- Managing the teams’ advice to Ministers and senior officials on the breadth of policy, delivery and communications issues that arise from the high-profile nature of this programme.
