The search for an ambitious and visionary leader for the North of England is now underway, with Transport for the North (TfN) on the hunt for its next Chief Executive.
Details of the unique role – which will help shape the future of the North and the 15 million people who call it home – can be found here. The closing date for applications is Thursday 11 February 2021.
The successful candidate will join at a time when ‘levelling up’ scales the national agenda, with investment in transport infrastructure a central pillar of that mission as the North seeks to build back better.
The Chief Executive will be responsible for delivering TfN’s mission – to improve quality of life and opportunities for people and businesses across the North. Building on adoption of the first pan-northern Strategic Transport Plan in 2019, the CEO will shape the next stage for the organisation in line with members’ ambitions.
This will include oversight of visionary programmes such as Northern Powerhouse Rail, the proposed network of new and upgraded rail lines spanning the North of England.
