Would you like to join an award-winning team – working on key public policy agendas such as zero carbon, rail industry reform, trade deals and the economic value of rail investment?
You will work in a fast-paced environment with key stakeholders including Government, Parliament, and rail client bodies (e.g. Network Rail, Transport for London, Scotland’s Railway) to provide policy insight, briefings and analysis on high profile issues. The role would suit someone with an interest in policy, transport, Government or public affairs. It would also suit someone who enjoys organising various policy forums and events, bringing people together to discuss the salient issues of the day. The role requires a varied skillset and adaptability to a range of tasks, and it provides excellent exposure and insight into the most senior and influential decision makers in the rail industry.
