Manchester City Council

Working Hours: 35 Hours per week

Contract Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Closing Date: 09 May 2024

The role will lead on City Centre Transport workstreams, focusing on the implementation of projects to meet the City Centre Transport Strategy objectives. This will include supporting and developing projects to improve the way people move within and to/from the City Centre via sustainable modes of transport (walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport) and the development and implementation of measures to support the Clean Air and Zero Carbon agendas. 

This role will play a key part in achieving the aims outlined within the Our Manchester strategy to make Manchester a place to live, work, play and do business in. The role will ensure that infrastructure investment is maximised and delivered in a way that supports the operation of the city and delivers the best outcomes for residents and visitors. The role will include the liaison with City Centre members. 


The role holder will be experienced in transport policy development and will ensure that our policy objectives contribute towards delivery of our Clean Air, Climate Change Action Plan and 2038 net-zero carbon targets. 

You will be a passionate advocate for transforming Manchester and delivering on our objectives for zero carbon and sustainable transport. You will have experience of working in a built environment, transport, highways or related area, in either a strategy or projects-related role. You will be keen to work with people in Manchester's neighbourhoods and key stakeholders to create positive change on the ground.

We’re the local government authority for Manchester, and have teams across the city helping to make this a great place to live for everyone. We’re proud to do local government differently, in a city with an international reputation for diversity, creativity, culture and passion. 

When you join us, you’re joining a team of over 7,000 council staff helping to make our ambition for Manchester a reality. Whatever your role, you’ll be supporting our residents and communities to be the best they can be, and helping to build a Manchester that's fairer for everyone who lives, works, volunteers, studies or plays here. 

To make our ambition a reality, every person we recruit needs to play their its part. It takes a certain type of behaviour, attitude and way of working to get Manchester where it wants to be. Our people and partners have agreed five ‘behaviours’ – the grounding for how we must work together and treat one another:

  • We take time to listen and understand
  • We work together and trust each other
  • We show that we value our differences and treat each other fairly
  • We ‘own it’ and we’re not afraid to try new things
  • We’re proud and passionate about Manchester

A career with us means you can be yourself, thrive, and build the career your talent and ambition deserve.
