The Mayor. The London Assembly. The Greater London Authority. Together we form the capital’s strategic regional government. Joining us means coming to the very heart of change, shaping policy and practice to keep this city as one of the most exciting on the planet. If you like London, you’ll love working with us.

Transport has the potential to transform our city.  It’s part of everyone’s daily lives and enables people to make the most of opportunities in London.  London’s streets make up a lot of the city’s public space while transport is key to unlocking development across the capital.

With his new Transport Strategy to guide the way, the Mayor is working hard with Transport for London to make transport better for everyone and to transform the city’s streets. You’ll help to translate this vision into practical changes on London’s streets and public transport network. This is a world-leading strategy with stretching ambitions for physical activity, cleaning up the transport system and investment in new projects, which you’ll help to realise.

In this role you will be responsible for gaining buy-in to the Mayor’s priorities and ensuring progress against key commitments, so you will be comfortable working with and influencing senior colleagues. You’ll understand London’s political environment and how it plays out in practice, including managing complex stakeholder relationships. You will need experience of preparing clear and concise written reports and briefings for a range of audiences. In particular, you will be confident in identifying what senior leaders need to know and when, including proactively problem solving and making positive suggestions for change as required.
