  • Build and maintain strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders, helping to foster collaboration and drive success.
  • Contribute to tender processes, supporting team efforts with both direct and indirect participation.
  • Serve as a junior advisor and informant on rail and bus strategy and operations, sharing knowledge and insights to guide decisions.

  • Ensure timely management of workload, delivering on commitments in a collaborative and supportive team environment.


Knowledge & Experience

  • A minimum of 1-2 years of relevant work experience, ideally within a consulting environment, with a proven track record of managing projects to deadlines and demonstrating a strong understanding of business processes.
  • Education to an undergraduate degree level (or equivalent), with relevant subjects such as business, project management, law, or politics being beneficial, though a strong aptitude for the role is most important.
  • Experience in presenting research, analysis, and ideas to support decision-making processes.
  • Confidence in a fast-paced, unpredictable environment, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Strong IT skills, with a focus on being able to present data effectively and contribute to research tasks.
  • An interest in personal development, with a team-focused attitude and the ability to build relationships both internally and externally.
  • A level of political awareness to understand the factors influencing policy decisions in the transport sector.


At The Go-Ahead Group, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone is treated with respect and equality. We believe that a variety of perspectives drives innovation and strengthens our ability to serve the communities we operate in. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome applications from all individuals, regardless of age, race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or background. At Go-Ahead, we ensure that every employee has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to our collective success, in an environment that values differences and promotes fairness.
