We amplify our partners' voices on the transport infrastructure investment needed to drive transformational growth and rebalance the UK economy.
Our role is to add strategic value by ensuring that funding and strategy decisions about transport in the North are informed by local knowledge and requirements.

The Policy and Strategy Officer role will provide professional support in the development and delivery of the STP and its associated policy positions.
You will be expected to provide impactful strategic and policy advice internally, and work closely with external partners and stakeholders to support their strategic thinking and policy planning.
You will be expected to build strong relationships, internally and externally and be able to influence, shape and challenge across the strategy and policy sphere.
As Policy and Strategy Officer you will be responsible for initiating and co-ordinating the development and implementation of new and existing initiatives, shaping TfN's on-going evidence base development particularly in relation to international connectivity and economic development.
You will be a key member of a multi-disciplinary team, playing an active part in scoping and defining the role pan northern transport investment and TfN can plan in supporting the implementation of Local Transport Plans.
What we're looking for: The successful candidate will have experience of working in transport strategy and policy development (or in a related area of local economic development and planning), working in complex situations and in the development and approval of policies, strategies or business cases.
It is imperative that you also have a good understanding of national and regional policy context, transport policy and regulatory frameworks.
As a confident communicator, you will have the ability to engage - in written and verbal format - with and influence a wide range of stakeholders, partners and senior colleagues alongside representing TfN in public, professional and stakeholder forums.
Candidates will preferably have a relevant degree or equivalent level reached through experience.
Above all else, we're looking for someone who's passionate about improving outcomes for people and communities across the North.
Closing Date: 12pm on 22 November 2024 Provisional Interview Date: 11 December 2024 In return, as well as a competitive salary, our other benefits are: ?
28 days holiday per annum plus bank holidays ?
Access to the local government pension scheme ?
