Key Responsibilities

As our Director of Transport Strategy you will lead the work of the Transport Strategy and Policy team to develop, prioritise and deliver a shared transport strategy for South Yorkshire, including policies and approaches by mode (bus, rail, tram and walking, wheeling and cycling) and thematic priorities. Policy areas include decarbonisation, integrated ticketing and fares, integrated networks, accessibility and the development of transport hubs. In the role you will be given the opportunity shape our shared transport future for South Yorkshire.

The role will involve significant partnership working, as well as an appreciation of how transport sits within the South Yorkshire region’s overall economic, social and environmental programmes. The post holder will be a key interface with the Mayor, Council Leaders, the Active Travel Commissioner for South Yorkshire and senior leaders in DfT and colleagues both inside and beyond the organisation. You will seek to ensure the region speaks with one powerful voice and that key decision makers in Government, the investment community and others outside the region understand, support and act on our priorities.

Our plans are ambitious and we are therefore looking for ambitious leaders who are keen to make a real difference to our local communities. This is an opportunity to make a genuine lasting impact on transport and travel on the local, regional and national stage. This is an opportune time to further develop an integrated transport network as the Supertram operations have been brought back into public control and we are exploring options on bus franchising.

A strong background in developing and implementing Transport Strategy and Policy and experience of influencing senior colleagues, Board Members, and/or politicians. You will have a practical understanding of transport analysis, appraisal and business case development; behavioural insight, and experience of working in the bus, rail or tram industry. You will have a proven track record of effective senior leadership, strategic thinking and change management, including supporting the empowerment of others to take ownership and accountability of outcomes. The role needs both first class strategic transport thinking and an understanding of the practical realities of real world delivery. You will be responsible for the development of a transformational Local Transport Plan (LTP) for South Yorkshire.

With your proven ability of leadership at senior level you will work in a collaborative manner with the Mayor, elected Members, senior leaders across directorates and local authority colleagues, external partners, community members and other bodies that interact with this role.

The role will also be expected to contribute to the growth and redesign of the team for the medium to long-term, ensuring we have the required capacity and capability to secure delivery of our ambitions.
