About us

We are proud to be partnering exclusively with Transport Focus - the voice of Britain's transport user. They ensure they're at the centre of tomorrow's policy decisions and that future investment in the transport network is focused on their needs and experiences. They listen to the public and find out their experience of using, or trying to use, Great Britain's railways and England's bus, tram and major road networks. They bring together transport providers and share these views so problems can be fixed but if they are more challenging to resolve, publish an improvement plan. Their analysis, drawn from data and insight across the industry, puts the voice of the transport user at the heart of decision making – in Westminster, Cardiff, Holyrood and with the Mayors of our great city regions.

And that's where you come in

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join an ambitious organisation at a pivotal time for transport users and for our people.

About you

Transport Focus are interested in the skills and experience you bring, not just the job titles on your resume. Reflecting our ambition and commitment to be more representative of all transport users, we aim to build teams that draw upon the widest range of experiences, talent and ideas, and for that reason welcome applications from the broadest range of backgrounds and communities.

  • Provide senior, strategic leadership to the delivery of significant parts of the Business Plan supporting and over-seeing the work of multi-disciplinary teams
  • Provide finance, procurement, governance, facilities and other advice to the Chief Executive and the Board, ensuring that the Accounting Officer's responsibilities are fulfilled
  • Support the Head of Board and Governance in ensuring that all legal and mandatory responsibilities of the organisation are met, and that the governance of the organisation supports effective decision making and planning
  • Ensure there are effective financial controls and reporting systems in place to allow resources to be allocated to business plan priorities

  • A strategic, inclusive leader with the ability to engage colleagues and stakeholders at all levels
