Summary

We recognise the challenges that people with protected characteristics may experience on the job market and in their career progression. We are fully committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring equal opportunities. We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as possible, and we hope to attract applications from underrepresented groups, including ethnic minorities, people with a disability, and people with gender diverse identities.

Do you have exceptional verbal and written communication skills?

Can you build strong relationships with various stakeholders at all levels and do you have the ability to understand and represent their needs?

If so, then this is the perfect role for you!

We have an exciting, unique opportunity for a passionate, motivated individual to join the Department for Transport’s Aviation - Commercial, Strategy and Consumers team as a Commercial Policy Advisor. As a team we pride ourselves on creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable bringing their whole selves to work and comes together to support each other. You will see this reflected in our values – Authentic, Supportive and Connected – which run through everything we do.

The division was initially created to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic. However, our role has since evolved and sees us work on a range of critical commercial policy decisions and support the sector through a number of structural challenges.

The job holder will support the team’s work monitoring the commercial health of the sector. This includes working closely with the sector to get an updated picture of each company’s latest commercial and financial position and understanding the impact of various Government policies on the sector.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Developing and implementing an enhanced monitoring framework across the UK aviation market to support proactive risk assessment and wider policy making in the Department.
  • Produce briefings, submissions and recommendations which support senior staff and Ministers across a range of challenging and exciting policy areas.
  • Engage and establish effective working relations with industry stakeholders, external financial and legal advisers, and the CAA to assess risk picture and continue to develop the Department’s understanding of the aviation sector.
  • Work collaboratively across the internal team and wider Department to support policy development linked to the aviation sector.
  • Lead on Parliamentary Questions across a range of topics, ensuring that accurate responses are provided, often to tight deadlines.
