About the Team The Transport Spending team is a friendly, energetic, and supportive team! We are responsible for managing the Treasury's interests in transport policy. We do this both as a finance ministry, managing costs and making sure our spending on transport delivers good value for taxpayers; and as the UK's economics ministry, ensuring that our infrastructure investments contribute to a strong and growing economy. We are outward-looking to the Department for Transport (DfT), which has one of the biggest capital budgets in Government. We have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, welcoming those with varied background experience. We are fully committed to developing our team members and helping them grow.

Key responsibilities include handling DfT's overall budget (c. £30bn on annual spending), leading the wider the spending team through fiscal events and Spending Reviews, and holding DfT to account for implementing policies to reduce carbon emissions from transport that represent best value for the taxpayer. The Treasury cares about transport spending from an economic and financial perspective - how will it contribute to economic growth and productivity? Is this spending affordable and being spent well? The branch acts as the voice of the taxpayer in assessing the value for money and affordability of DfT's spending. This is an exciting time to join the team - you will play a pivotal role in working across HM Treasury and with DfT to help implement the recent Spending Review settlement, and to prepare for and help deliver the next Spending Review due to take place next year.

The role leads on the bi-annual Estimates process, working closely with other HM Treasury teams and DfT's strategic finance team. Supporting the wider branch to develop HMT's approach and strategy on transport spending, including at Spending Reviews and fiscal events. As part of the team's central spending and strategy branch, you will support the Spending Principal to develop a team wide position on how to prioritise transport spending. At Spending Reviews and fiscal events, this will involve reviewing and scrutinising DfT's bids and helping to guide the rest of the spending team through challenging negotiations. Coordinating input from across the team to prepare succinct and clear briefings and advice for ministers and senior officials . This will require communicating complex issues clearly in writing and verbally, tailoring your communication style to suit the intended audience. Lead on discrete policy areas . Alongside the core spending element, you will have responsibility for HMT's oversight of policy and spending for DfT's Motoring Agencies (i.e. DVSA, DVLA). This will include advising ministers on strategic policy issues, scrutinising business cases, and building strong relationships with key stakeholders in DfT and the agencies. You will also have opportunities to lead on wider cross cutting transport policy issues. Leading HM Treasury's relationship with the Office of Rail and Road (a non-ministerial department). You will independently own and maintain strong relationships with senior finance officials in the ORR, leading advice for HM Treasury ministers to help set and monitor their budgets. About You We're looking for people who can use evidence and knowledge to support accurate, expert decisions and advice.

We have been specifically commissioned to identify a high-calibre TBM Lead (VP) to spearhead a critical transformation within their technology function. This is a rare opportunity to move beyond technical tool administration and step into a strategic leadership position. Our client is looking for a TBM practitioner who can design, build, and roll out a comprehensive TBM Operating Model from the ground up to support a major, multi-year business transformation. The Impact You'll Make Operating Model Architect: Take immediate ownership of designing the TBM Operating Model.
