About the role:
We’re building a Transport Solutions Team that works flexibly across all the tools in our delivery kit – from grants and innovation pilots to research, partnerships, and commercial interventions. Our growing portfolio includes flagship projects tackling challenges such as inclusive EV charging infrastructure, complex community transport needs, and large-scale research like the National Centre for Accessible Transport.

What you will be doing:

- Scope, commission and manage projects related to EV charging – such as pilots, commercial partnerships, research studies or funding opportunities – ensuring alignment to strategic priorities.

- Manage end-to-end delivery of specific initiatives, including planning, budgeting, due diligence, contracting, risk management, and governance reporting.
- Use insight, evidence and stakeholder engagement to shape new programmes of work and ensure delivery reflects the needs of disabled people.
- Work flexibly across our matrix team, contributing to projects or funding rounds outside your own portfolio as needed, and supporting colleagues with specialist input or delivery resource.
- Build and maintain relationships with key external stakeholders, including OZEV, DfT, BSI, chargepoint operators, local authorities, disability organisations and industry experts.
- Collaborate across the Foundation, including with the Insight & Evaluation, Finance and Communications teams, to ensure high-quality delivery, learning and visibility of our work.
- Bring and apply knowledge in key areas as accessible transport, disability, inclusive innovation, grant making or systems change.
- Support the development and continuous improvement of our delivery models, funding mechanisms and ways of working.
Your experience:
Must haves:
- Experience managing complex projects, ideally in EV charging, transport, or energy sectors.
- Ability to translate technical or policy insight (e.g. standards, user experience, accessibility, or engineering considerations) into practical delivery and funding approaches.
- Experience managing projects or funding opportunities from inception through to delivery, ideally across multiple partners or suppliers.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across government, industry, and the charity sector.
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to deliver multiple, complex workstreams to deadlines.
- Strong analytical capability, able to interpret data, research and qualitative insight to inform recommendations and decision-making.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality reports, business cases, and presentations for senior audiences.
- Confident IT literacy, including Microsoft Office (particularly Excel and PowerPoint).
Nice to haves:
- Understanding of EV charging systems, standards (e.g. PAS 1899), and market dynamics.
- Experience working alongside government, local authorities, or industry partners on projects.
- Familiarity with innovation or funding mechanisms such as pilots, challenge funds, co-design, or commissioning frameworks.
- Understanding of wider disability and transport issues, such as the social model of disability and key accessibility barriers.
- Experience supporting or line managing others in a team or project context.
