Basis: Full time

London Buses carry the lion’s share of passengers across the capital, offering one of the most affordable and accessible means of travel for up to four million journeys a day, across more than 600 routes. We are in the middle of a programme of improvements as set out in our Bus Action Plan. This includes leading the decarbonisation of public transport to tackle climate change with plans to make the fleet zero emission no later than 2034; we are also exploring options to bring this forward to 2030. In addition, the wider team is driving forward plans to eradicate fatalities involving buses by 2030 and increasing ridership through improved journey times and a better customer experience.

Our bus network is growing, is well connected and served by around 9,000 vehicles, with our bus contracts worth well over £2 billion a year. This makes Bus Operations one of the most dynamic and high-profile places to work, and a great place to get experience in an internationally recognised business.

We are looking for a number of people at different levels to join our successful Contracts and Development team to ensure our high profile and exciting journey towards zero-emission can be accomplished as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Whether it is supporting the Bus Business Development Manager’s to set the strategy, reporting on progress, or working with bus operators on their projects - these roles bring together a mix of analysis, commercial, stakeholder management and implementation in one place.

The team is flexible and dynamic and covers a range of other areas such as tracking and reporting key milestones pledged in the Bus Action Plan, overseeing the refurbishments of nearly 1,000 New Routemaster buses, and developing and implementing the Bus Security Programme. Furthermore, the roles may be required to support the implementation of other commercial strategies and contracting policy, to ensure that the London Bus Network continues to deliver value for money and service quality that meet passenger expectations, the Mayor’s policy objectives and achieves TfL's KPIs and financial targets.

As we are in the public eye, the team must also engage with a variety of influential stakeholders and promote our activities to internal and external audiences. As our operational environment is dynamic and changes on regular basis, the roles will require individuals that can adapt quickly and work flexibly and collaboratively to meet business priorities. The roles will also require individuals to undertake data analysis and report writing, along with presenting conclusions and recommendations to help inform decision-making.

Closing date: Sunday 12 November @23:59 hours.
