Have you got experience of delivering high quality work across multiple disciplines?
Do you enjoy building good working relationships and being able to effectively collaborate with a wide range of team members and stakeholders?
Can you communicate effectively in both written and verbal communication styles and enjoy using the various tools available?
If so, we have an exciting opportunity where you can develop your skills; becoming familiar with sponsorship and stakeholder management issues and we would love to hear from you!
The Motoring Services Agencies Sponsorship (MSAS) Division supports, challenges and champions the work of the 3 Executive Motoring Agencies (DVLA, DVSA and VCA), the Traffic Commissioners and wider government. We are a small, dynamic team where there is plenty of opportunity to shape the role, get involved around the policy and delivery of the agency functions, lead on discrete projects, and work with the team to build continuous improvement to our existing processes.
The role of a Sponsorship team is to provide support and challenge to our Sponsored bodies to ensure alignment with Ministerial priorities and the strategic aims of the Department. We do this by being informed across multiple policy areas and disciplines and building strong networks of colleagues across DfT and its Executive Agencies. This requires a wider range of skills such as using personal influence, relationship building, and time management. Strong stakeholder engagement skills are integral to the success of these relationships.
One of the key responsibilities for this role is to support the Traffic Commissioner Sponsorship Lead in building the relationship with Traffic Commissioners, which includes a programme of governance, recruitment, and reform. You will be working on a day-to-day basis with a variety of stakeholders, including the Office of the Traffic Commissioners, DfT financial, legal and HR advisers to support the TC function to operate effectively and reform.
You will also be performing a vital role in communicating and championing the work of the 3 Executive Motoring Agencies and supporting work streams to deliver on key programmes of work including Business Planning, Agency risk management and some policy portfolio areas.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Drive effective joint working between DfT policy teams and the Traffic Commissioners on strategic and high priority issues, including recommendations of recent review of the Traffic Commissioner function, to ensure opportunities are grasped and challenges overcome wherever possible.
- Playing an essential role in developing the governance of the Traffic Commissioner function, including strategy, framework documents, guidance letters, and involvement in the wider sponsor network across DfT.
- Build and make use of strong relationships with DVSA colleagues working in the Office for Traffic Commissioners and with the Traffic Commissioners and Deputy Traffic Commissioners themselves to understand their work and their priorities.
- Providing briefings and recommendations to a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders including interaction with Ministers, senior officials and their private offices.
