Work may be conducted as part of commercial consulting efforts or as integral components of RSSB core activities funded by member contributions.

Regardless of funding sources, a consulting mindset is vital for the success of this role, as it necessitates managing multiple projects for diverse stakeholders simultaneously.

  • Interact, collaborate, and negotiate with senior client representatives as necessary to achieve RHSS objectives.
  • Understand client/end-user challenges, scoping work to address these issues and securing agreement and funding to advance.
  • Develop and maintain a credible pipeline of qualified work related to member contributions or consulting activities.
  • Lead the creation of roadmaps and supporting work programs from concept to implementation, clearly aligned with identified challenges and benefits.
  • Manage and deliver projects and/or programs of work that realize defined benefits for RSSB, members, and customers.
  • Present complex ideas, strategies, and options to a diverse range of stakeholders.
  • Ensure delivery of horizon scanning activities and data insights to identify future risks and opportunities for mitigation.
  • Define relevant questions for data analysts to address, shaping the focus of the analysis as an end user and ensuring insights inform work delivery and planning.
  • Contribute to a heightened understanding within RSSB and across the broader industry of the Rail Health and Safety Strategy and its implementation.
  • Lead the preparation of progress reports for your programs and projects to enhance industry engagement with the strategy's delivery.
  • Ensure visibility of Rail Health and Safety Strategy activities, promoting outputs and benefits while collaborating with marketing and engagement teams.

  • Experience in analyzing and presenting complex ideas, strategies, and options to senior stakeholders, including negotiation and resolution of key issues.
  • Proven experience in engaging with and delivering significant work packages for senior leaders, demonstrating the ability to apply specialist knowledge effectively.
  • Experience in developing and implementing solutions in areas such as strategy, risk management, competence management, organizational change, change management, and operational control.
  • Evidence of successful leadership in significant technical or business change projects (such as digital transformation, organizational, process, or systems change) delivering agreed scope on time and within budget.
  • Depth in identifying, documenting, and applying industry best practices, business models, and standards.
  • Experience in people/line management within a consulting, duty holder, or academic environment.
  • Commitment to customer service, ensuring customer satisfaction is central to our success in achieving shared goals.
