Can you work with uncertainty, bringing structure and direction to areas of ambiguity?
New technologies bring new challenges and opportunities, especially as they are translated from R&D trials to commercial deployments. Connected and automated mobility (CAM) technologies are developing rapidly with significant investments from stakeholders across a diverse range of sectors, in the UK and around the world, with massive potential social and economic benefits.
No country has yet brought all the components together successfully and the UK can secure a place among European and world leaders. You will help shape the UK policy to achieve this outcome.
The Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) is a joint policy unit between the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and the Department for Transport (DfT). CCAV is creating an early commercial market to secure first mover advantage in the deployment of self-driving vehicles and services, estimated to be worth £42 billion and create additional 38,000 jobs by 2035.
Building on £600 million of joint investment with industry in over 100 projects involving more than 200 organisations across the UK since 2015. Government has committed up to £150 million for further R&D activities in the Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) sector, 2025-30 subject to approval by new ministers.
The job holder will shape government’s commercial vision of connected and automated mobility in the UK. The role offers a unique opportunity to bring transformative technologies to market in the UK, working across the government departments and with government’s arm length bodies, industry, academia, and the investor community.
Responsibilities include, but not limited to:
- Developing CCAV’s “commercialisation strategy” (coordinating the UK’s investment landscape, e.g. British Business Bank)
- Working with the Health and Safety Executive (among others) to understand how self-driving services may commercialise earlier in off-road applications.
- Leading CCAV’s work on identifying and exploiting routes to market for the projects that were funded through CCAV’s £66 million ‘Commercialising CAM’ ensuring that projects are focused on achieving commercial sustainability.
- Leading CCAV’s ‘CAM Mass transit’ policy to identify a new application for CAM as a mass transit solution that will deliver a significantly more cost effective and low carbon solution than traditional public transport options.
- Representing the UK at relevant national and international trade shows and conferences to promote UK’s CAM sector, attracting new players and private investors and supporting the UK’s investment pipeline.
- Coordinating collaborative work with teams across Whitehall including on areas such as freight and logistics, digital connectivity and infrastructure, artificial intelligence, robotics, public transport, skills and business growth.
- Line managing 1 SEO and supporting team members’ career development.
