What the role is

We are looking for a forward-thinking manager to lead a team in harnessing rich transit data to design and implement evidence-based bus planning strategies, while securing physical and operational space for bus infrastructure across the network.
This role blends strategic analysis, systems thinking, stakeholder engagement, and creative problem-solving. The successful candidate will translate complex mobility data into actionable network plans, close transport gaps, and shape commuter-friendly integrated transport hubs.

What you will be working on

Data-Driven Bus Network Strategy

• Lead the team in analysing multi-source transit data.

• Identify service gaps, demand imbalances, and emerging travel patterns.

• Develop and refine bus network strategies (trunk, feeder, express).

• Balance competing objectives: coverage vs frequency, speed vs access, resilience vs efficiency.

• Translate insights into clear, defensible planning proposals.

Strategic Problem Solving & Transformation

• Frame ambiguous mobility problems clearly and guide the team in structured problem-solving.

• Pilot innovative service concepts and evaluate outcomes rigorously.

• Lead change initiatives where legacy practices need to evolv

Infrastructure & Space Safeguarding

• Work closely with land use agencies and developers to secure land for commuter-friendly integrated transport hubs.

• Engage internal and external stakeholders to navigate trade-offs between political, operational, financial, and commuter considerations, align priorities and secure buy-in.

What we are looking for

• Technical & Analytical: Proficiency in interpreting large, complex datasets and translating insights into strategy.

• Strong experience in public transport planning, urban mobility, transport engineering, or related fields.

• Strategic & Systems Thinking: Ability to see the network as a system, not isolated parts. Strong judgement in prioritising limited resources for maximum commuter impact.

• Problem-Solving & Innovation: Able to challenge entrenched assumptions respectfully. Comfortable working in ambiguity and iterating solutions.

• Strong facilitation and communication skills.
