Public Transport Transformation & Governance Reform Lead Job Info Job Identification 3015 Profession Operational Delivery Job Family Operational Design and Support Locations Glasgow, United Kingdom (Hybrid) Working Pattern Full Time Number of Openings 1 Apply Before 01/11/2026, 11:59 PM This is a new post in the Public Transport Transformation and Governance Reform (PTTGR) Unit in the new TIC Directorate, and will be crucial in realising our aims for the Directorate. The Public Transport Transformation & Governance Reform Lead is responsible for leading the review of public transport governance, with oversight and sponsorship of the collective delivery of its development and recommendations, and contributing to the delivery of public service reform and the financial sustainability of the transport system through the team's activities. The Public Transport Transformation & Governance Reform Lead is also responsible for oversight of targeted integration interventions between modes, and supporting the wider TIC Directorate and Transport Scotland with policy development, programme management, and engagement activity. Public Transport Governance and Reform The current governance arrangements for transport in Scotland have remained fairly constant since first established almost twenty years ago, while demand for travel and wider economic and environmental awareness and pressures have changed. In 2019, Jacobs was commissioned by the NTS Review Roles & Responsibilities Working Group to identify a range of options for change to the level at which transport functions are discharged, and set out the benefits of each option for further consideration 1 . This work has not progressed since 2019, however in September 2024 RTPs, COSLA, SOLACE and SCOTS confirmed that the recommendations of the Jacobs report remained extant. RTPs updated their Transport Governance Workstream recommendations in November 2023, and the Fair Fares Review in March 2024 recommended "Transport Governance Review to be recommenced with specific action on identifying changes to support improved public transport". The work to review transport governance will include an assessment and analysis of how the Scottish Government, Regional Transport Partnerships, Local Authorities and modal operators can work together with enhanced governance structures to better deliver integrated public transport which improves connectivity and contributes to the vision for the Transport Integration and Connectivity Directorate. The PTTGR team will build on earlier work, reaffirming if previous considerations and options remain valid, and identifying subsequent actions and recommendations to support the successful implementation and delivery of transformation. Public Service Reform The work to review transport governance will support the delivery of public service reform. It will identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of the public transport operating model in Scotland to contribute to more efficient provision of funding, so benefits to users can be maximised, and barriers between organisations that hinder integration can be reduced. Central to this, strategic recommendations will be generated for funding reform; as how funding is delivered and revenue is raised is one of the most significant incentives and levers for the delivery of public transport, and affects the extent to which transport integration is delivered. Integration Delivery The Team will oversee targeted interventions to deliver better integration between modes. These interventions will: identify issues to inform the review of transport governance; demonstrate and put into practice delivery alongside the review; and maximise the opportunity to test the recommendations from the review. While the ownership of these interventions may lie with internal or external partners, the PTTGR Team will sponsor and oversee their delivery. Connectivity The Team will develop proposals for priority connectivity and integration, identify gaps, and propose key recommendations to enhance connectivity to support Scottish Government objectives such as economic growth and modal shift. This will build on analysis undertaken by the Transport Strategy & Performance Team to understand where access to public transport exists, and how this compares relative to other areas. The team's expertise and role in transport governance and delivery of integrated transport will enable it to strategically engage with major public transport projects to influence their alignment to TIC objectives and integration into the wider transport network for inward and onward travel. Example projects include the Clyde Metro, Edinburgh Tram extension, Aberdeen Rapid Transit, or ferry, airport and rail extension projects. Responsibilities Lead the review of public transport governance, with oversight and sponsorship of the collective delivery of its development and recommendations: Conduct a review of public transport governance to develop SMART recommendations resulting in enhanced integration between modes and services, working closely with external delivery partners and stakeholders (Local Authorities, Regional Transport Partnerships, and modal operators) and internal colleagues across Scottish Government; Identify recommendations for how funding could be better provided to authorities and operators to support integrated governance and service delivery; Sponsor and oversee delivery of the recommendations of the review of public transport to transform public transport delivery and integration; Support Unit Head in securing collective buy-in for the review and delivery of its recommendations, and more widely the TIC vision. Contribute to the delivery of public service reform and the financial sustainability of the transport system through the team's activities: Develop and prioritise actions within the review of transport governance to improve the efficiency of the public transport operating model in Scotland, identifying areas for, and delivering to, public service reform aims. Identify how funding affects transport governance and public transport integration and generate strategic recommendations for funding reform: Ensure alignment and integration with other reform work across Transport Scotland (e.g. fares, ticketing or modal reform (such as bus franchising). Oversight of targeted integration interventions between modes in partnership with internal and external stakeholders: Develop proposals for priority connectivity and integration, identify gaps, and propose key recommendations to enhance connectivity to support SG objectives. Support the wider TIC Directorate and Transport Scotland with policy development, programme management, and engagement activity: Engage with major public transport projects to influence their strategic alignment to the TIC objectives and integration into the wider transport network. Support the IPTS team in the development of the vision and strategies for Transport Integration and Connectivity, alongside wider engagement with stakeholders to support delivery of the TIC vision. Provide line management and leadership to the team (2x B3, 1x B2, 1x B1). Success profile Success profiles are specific to each job and they include the mix of skills, experience and behaviours candidates will be assessed on. Technical / Professional Skills: Operational Leadership and Management - Practitioner You should also have experience of working within the context of transport governance in Scotland, or an understanding thereof. Apply online, providing a CV and Supporting Statement of no more than 1500 words which provides evidence of how you meet the skills, experience and behaviours listed in the Success Profile above.

Who We Are: We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair. Our goal is to put power back where it belongs, in the hands of customers and to take on one of the most critical problems of our century, access to low cost electricity. tem exists to fix a broken global energy market that's long favoured legacy operators, intermediaries, and opaque pricing. Today's electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators. We've built the first AI native transaction infrastructure to reinvent how electricity is bought, sold and priced. Our technology is designed to cut out the inefficient fees, automate complex market flows, and bring transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale. In late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we closed a $75 million Series B - led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital and others - positioning us for global expansion, deeper product innovation and category leadership. We're scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure is foundational to electricity markets worldwide. Since launch, our modern utility product, known as RED, has already facilitated thousands of business customers and billions in energy transaction value, proving that modern software and AI can transform an industry built on legacy systems. At tem, we're not just building another energy company, we're rearchitecting market infrastructure so that transparency, efficiency and sustainability become the default, not the exception. At tem, everyone works in either an Engine or a Service. Engines are cross-functional teams focused on one part of the customer journey, and they own results from start to finish. Each Engine is responsible for improving a clear measure of success. Services are specialist teams that build shared tools and expertise, and they support Engines when needed. This setup helps us stay focused, move faster, and make it clear how each role contributes to the success of the business. The Role We're hiring a Senior People Partner. Your job to be done is to diagnose and remove performance bottlenecks across tem, turning insights into fixes that keep performance high as we scale. You'll join the Performance Service which is focused on driving up talent density Hiring quality (Recruitment) Ramp-up time and performance of our people (Performance) You'll work closely with our Performance Lead (who sets the overall Performance strategy) and will diagnose what is blocking performance and talent density in the Engines (cross-functional teams) you partner with. You'll go deep on root causes, using people insights and data to design and ship solutions. Work will span the full people spectrum, from organisational design and operating model changes to performance management, wherever the constraint sits. You'll partner with Managers to surface friction points and remove blockers. You'll prioritise, push back, and drive decisions to hit the needed metrics. We're a fast growing scaling company and Engines can close / form depending on the needs of tem - expect things to change. The Performance service consists of: Our Performance Lead who partners with the C-Suite and sets the overall strategy Our Academy programme manager who focuses on ramping up new joiners fast, building capability, and lifting performance. Our People Ops specialist who accelerates the service through automations and efficiency. A People manager who focuses on coaching and unblocking the team. What this role isn't A partnering role where you execute a HR playbook you've used previously A role with pre-defined OKRs or goals - you'll figure out what unlocks peak performance A role in a large team - you'll be both strategist and executor A static role - expect things to change as the business scales and we focus on different priorities (always within the HR space). Responsibilities Increase performance and leadership effectiveness by turning live signals into practical people interventions. You're embedded in Engine rituals (planning, standups, retros) to interpret and influence, not observe. Partner with Engine leaders to drive Engine performance, enable strong leadership, and run the employee lifecycle well. Build the context needed to identify constraints, coach leaders, and deliver fixes across hiring, performance, and BAU people processes. Spot early signals across delivery, quality, sustainability, and capability. Translate symptoms into root-cause hypotheses (org design, role clarity, leadership system, incentives, process, resourcing). Coach and equip leaders to lead: performance expectations, feedback quality, role clarity, team design, and decision-making. Ask the questions that surface hiring and performance gaps early, before they become problems. Partner with Talent to close gaps, with particular focus on org design and US hiring. Ship high-leverage fixes: design, align, and deliver projects that resolve root causes, and measure impact (e.g., velocity, quality, team health, performance outcomes). Own employee relations end-to-end for your area, partnering with People Ops and Talent Leads to move fast, document well, and stay compliant. Keep work visible and outcomes measurable through clear documentation, tracking, and communication so everyone at tem knows what you're doing and why. Time split: 60% embedded partnering in Engine rituals, 40% shipping projects that resolve the highest-leverage root causes. Requirements Must haves Proven experience as a People Partner, HRBP or equivalent in a high-growth, remote-first environment. You'll need to have evidence of implementing projects across the employee lifecycle that enabled your business to scale. Experience working in the US. Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, manage ambiguity, and operate across multiple stakeholders. Experience partnering with different Leaders to diagnose issues and build high-performing teams. Ability to connect people performance to company performance. Comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. Bonus points Background in organisational design We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, including those that are traditionally underrepresented in the tech and energy sectors. If you're excited about this role but not sure you meet every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you. Your unique perspective could be exactly what we're looking for.
